★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Phil Raskin · Dec 2025

Service was very slow. We were seated then waited much to long for the order to be taken. Only half full restaurant. Not once did the server come by to ask how is the food. Also, the food took an extraordinarily long time to come out. Was about 20 minutes. Ordered the bone in goat. Flavor was ok but far too many bones. More than half the serving was bone. I’ve had this other places and there should be some bones but more meat than just half. Maybe another night or different server would have been better.

This has been one of my favorite places for years. The staff have always been wonderful and kind. They go above and beyond service wise. Making sure we had plenty of rice and even some extra raita with my to go order on the way out. Just the most thoughtful touches. They actually make their food fresh so yes, it may take awhile but I don't mind waiting. During my travels in other countries you often wait an hour for them to cook your food. Waiting for amazing food is definitely never an issue for me. 🤣 Highly recommend the creamy masala chicken, Golgappa, cauliflower peas and potatoes. Really anything on the menu you cannot go wrong with. Definitely a must visit place. ❤️

★★★★★ 5.0 Lily Moen · Mar 2026

One of the best restaurants in the twin cities! The bone-in goat curry is one of my absolute favorite meals of all time. Fantastic flavor profile. Very bummed it’s not on the menu anymore, but there are lots of other great dishes as well.

★★★★★ 5.0 lucy iburg · Jul 2025

Best food in Minneapolis, first time here and I truly loved everything I ate here . We were a large group so we tried so many dishes and loved everything, the mimosas and coconut chai tea were also delicious.
