★★★★★ 5.0 Natalya Makarova · Sep 2025

Great place with delicious Indian food. I just love their Mango lassi. Real mango and most delicate taste. Very friendly people work in this cafe. The service is fast and caring. Very tasty food. The chef tries to count all your preferences and makes the food as spicy as you ask for. I sincerely recommend this place. I like to sit outside, but the inside of the cafe is also nice.

★★★★★ 5.0 Charissa Strong · Feb 2026

It was delicious! The staff was extremely courteous. We had more than enough food that we took some home to share. Everything was awesome.

★★★★★ 5.0 Amy R. · Aug 2025

The food here is absolutely delicious! I’ve never had naan this good before, it was warm, fluffy, and so tasty. The samosas were packed with flavor and just as delicious. The chicken tikka masala leaned more on the savory side (some places make it sweeter), but it was still excellent. What really stood out to me was the customer service. Everyone was so kind, friendly, and genuinely caring, it made the whole experience even better. My only critique is how hot it was inside, I was sweating so much, but the food was still worth it.

Tried this restaurant for the first time, the chicken was good coming to taste wise it’s average, overall the food was good

★★★★☆ 4.0 Sue Siingh · Mar 2025

Portions are awesome and they try to make Fresh food. Keep up the good work 🩷 Master chef Balkrishan is very courteous and knowledgeable about all the cooking and recipes. He tries to accommodate all the requests of customers and wait time is slowly improving. Good for palate and pocketbooks as I saw many Duke students and general patrons. There’s room for growth.
