★★★★★ 5.0 Jeff Dykes · Dec 2025

Elegantly though sparely laid out. Modern and inviting. The menu is quite extensive, with a number of North Indian specialties not often found. We did the luncheon menu: Chicken Korma and Goat Rara Bhuna (1 mild and 1 spicy). Accompanied by an app, basmati rice, dal, choice of breads and dessert. Quantities were fine for normal appetites. Flavors and execution were very good, and genuine. Lots of veg options. The owners are sons of owner of the wonderful Bukhara Grill in NYC. We will definitely be back: highly recommended.

The food was soooo flavorful and authentic, the staff was also super kind and patient! I love that they allow you to choose the level of spice you prefer. Really good food and great service also u can easily walk in without a res!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mick Deshpande · Mar 2026

Easily one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to. Our waiter Nayan was extremely attentive and took care of us throughout the whole experience. He was our waiter last time we came. Quite frankly, one of the reasons we come back to this restaurant! Food was fantastic, my girlfriend got the chicken tikka masala, I got the lamb rogan josh, and we split the dal. All were flawless. Reminds me of my grandmothers food. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. I will continue to come back to this restaurant for a long long time.

I have recently visited this restaurant with friends and family and had a really good experience. The ambiance is warm, and the menu offers a wide variety of Indian dishes. We tried Lasuni Gobi, Palak Chaat, Kabab Trio, Chettinad Chicken, Dum Phukt Goat Biryani, Achari Fish Tikka, Tandoori Chicken Momos, Truffle Grilled Mushrooms, Garlic Naan, Chilli Garlic Naan, and Mango Lassi. The food was well presented, flavorful, and portions were generous. The highlights for us were the Palak Chaat, Kabab Trio, Dum Phukt Biryani, and Truffle Grilled Mushrooms—all packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The service was friendly and quick, making the dining experience enjoyable. A great choice in downtown for anyone looking to enjoy flavorful Indian dishes with a nice variety.

I got the aloo gobi with mango lassi and it was amazing! My friend got chicken tikki masala and the spice level was good! She enjoyed it and even amped up the spice level! Ambience and music was perfect, food came out fast and our server Jason was impeccable! Super attentive to our needs. Definitely would come back and ask for Jason :)
