My family and I enjoyed dinner there last night. Service on point, food plentiful and full of flavor and you choose the spice: serving sizes were perfect to eat alone or sharing e and we did have leftovers. Great casual atmosphere

Filled with delicious food… I went for lunch with friends at this Indian eatery. There were several sitting options, and the interior design and atmosphere were excellent. The staffs were very polite and helpful in selecting food. Additionally, you can ask them to adjust the amount of spiciness based on your tolerance. The waiting time wasn't particularly lengthy. The food (or beverage) exactly meets its description. Each dish we ordered was prepared with fresh ingredients and had a unique flavor with a well-balanced blend of spices. Also, the presentation of the dishes was too lovely to be a visual feast. The items we tasted were as follows: Beverage- Mango Lassi, Green & Spicy, Imli Tango, Beer Appetizer- Samosa House Dishes- Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka Platter (Salad, Soup, Basmati r

So, I can be a little dense when it comes to most things—Indian food ESPECIALLY. Nevertheless, in terms of my taste buds, the food was DELICIOUS, the atmosphere, ENCHANTING, and, of course, the service, second in Charlottesville to NONE! To be honest, not really sure what I ordered for food. Just went with whatever KAT recommended. She put me on some sort of VEGETARIAN dish! I do like to think of myself as experimentally inclined but this was certainly OUT there for me. Oh boy, am I glad I listened! That cheese curd thing I scarfed down with the NAAN and that RICE was truly some life changing stuff, man. So GOOD! Honestly, I may give the whole vegetarian thing a try in the future, who knows. What I do know is the THREE cocktails that I washed my meal down with were SPECTACULAR! Don’t re

★★★★★ 5.0 Lindsey Sequeira · Jun 2024

My husband and I finally had the opportunity to try this place the other day. We were very impressed by the interior, which was cool and modern along with the appetizer they gave us. They had a nice little wine selection, including a really good Portuguese sparkling wine! We ended up getting two different curries that we'd never tried before, but both were absolutely delicious. The portions were very generous. The servers were very attentive, overall, will definitely be back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Paola Carrera · Oct 2024

Ok firstly the service was great, our server was so friendly patient and very informative her name is Jennifer she helped us through the menu. This was my first time experiencing Indian cuisine and let me tell you, the food was the best that I have ever tried. I never had food that had so much flavor and a different taste and it all compliments each other so well. The restaurant was so nice and clean and the service was fast.
