Did you know that India has the largest vegetarian population in the world? Studies show around 20-39% of Indians are vegetarians, a higher rate than most other nations. Takeout needed and this place has always caught my eye. They share a parking lot with Sprouts so I've been wanting to stop in. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala ($19.99) and the Khatti Dal ($10.99) for takeout. First of all, that chicken tikka masala was fire. It was aromatic, fragrant, and the spice level was perfect. The khatti dal on the other hand, it wasn't for me. Not to say it was bad, I just didn't quite care for it. Since it was a takeout order, I can't comment too much about the service but this place is massive. Plenty of seating, lots of parking, and great food. I would definitely order from here again.
Very impressive and flavorful Halal food! Came here with my family for dinner. Ignore all the negative reviews from previous owners! They have new owners from Hyderabad and let me tell you, it’s Hyderabad flavors! I have been to other restaurants in the valley claiming to have Hyderabad biryani but these guys by far had the best flavor and portions. Still not the actual Hyderabadi biryani but better than most. Must try their Haleem! It’s incredibly delicious!! My kids were actually able to eat here without complaining about spiciness. Their pricing is also very reasonable for the portion size. Service was also great. I did not like their chicken pakoras but everything else was superb! Mutton biryani came with mirchi ka salan, and raita, their chicken tikka masala was also delicious, and H
This restaurant should be renamed as Passage to Garbage. We went there to eat the buffet but almost all the items were terrible. The tandoori chicken is raw and we complained about it. They replaced it and the replacement was even more raw that it has blood coming out from it. The chicken biryani has so much oil in it. The veg fried rice has no salt or spices in it. There are fish curry, chicken curry and goat curry. All the curries mixed with so much water and so liquidy. Fish curry has so much oil floating on it and the fish meat was smelling so bad I almost puked. Overall worst experience ever and I’d recommend not going here.
First time ordering here liked it I will upload more of the items as I get to try and review them. Everything has been very spicy so far
Stopped by in the evening for chicken masala. The food was tasty, and the people were incredibly kind. Loved that they offered my favorite Indian tea for free while waiting.
