★★★★★ 5.0 Nat Naz · Feb 2026

New casual Indian restaurant recommended by a friend. We ordered the tandoori chicken wings, vegetables biryani and gobi manchurian. All the dishes were delicious and tasty. It appears that they have a large to -go order clients. Very clean establishment with super friendly staff.

Located just beside the Indian grocery store & with convenient parking. Dine In - They have a huge menu to chose from, so would recommend to be prepared in advance what you are in mood of eating. All their curries, biryanis, pulao and other snacks are DELICIOUS. Also their special dessert (peach delight) is a must try. We are a fan of their indo-Chinese dishes. They also do adjust the spice level well. They do have display monitors displaying your name & approx wait time which is convenient. Only downside at this moment we felt is they are slow and average wait times will be ~30mints. Take out orders - they do have an app you can order from. As well they have a kiosk in the store itself. They run daily offers on kebabs, pulaos, biryanis (typically 2 items for $20). Overall, good pricin

Awesome biryanis! I am a regular here, and they never disappoint. I especially love their Karivepaku Chicken Biryani. It is always flavorful and perfectly cooked. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which makes the whole experience even better every time I visit.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 R A · Feb 2026

I had a very disappointing experience here. The service was extremely slow and disorganized. The dishes were brought out separately with long gaps in between instead of being served together. I ordered tea and waited 45 minutes for it. If it wasn’t available, they could have simply told me, but instead they kept saying “5 more minutes” again and again. Overall, the experience was frustrating and not worth the time. I would not recommend this place unless you’re ready to spend a long time just waiting for your food.

Great spot for chai lovers and desi food enthusiasts! Loved the atmosphere and the cozy ambience — it’s a perfect place to unwind. Being a fan of Desi Bites from Kansas City, I was pleasantly surprised to find the same authentic chai taste here in Ballwin. Tried the Biriyani of the Day — Gongura Mutton Biriyani — flavorful, aromatic, and perfectly cooked. It’s a newly opened spot and definitely off to a great start. Wishing the team all the best — looking forward to coming back again!
