★★★★★ 5.0 Ana Hernandez Salomon · Jan 2026

The food was absolutely delicious!! The workers were very receptive to any questions I had. :) My friends and I got complimentary drinks, too! The picture totally doesn’t do the portion size justice.

I am a college student who hasnt eaten much Indian food in my life, but this restaurant was a great introduction to the food! I ordered the butter chicken full meal and paid $18 for it. Its not too pricey, especially because theres enough food for two meals! I will definitely be back to try another dish on the menu 🥰!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kamal Elbabaa · Sep 2025

The food was amazing! We ordered the spicy butter chicken, which was incredibly creamy and perfectly balanced with the heat. The lamb biryani was equally delectable. I wish I could share a picture of the food, but we devoured it all before I could take a photo! It was a truly memorable meal.

★★★★★ 5.0 Katya Canev · Mar 2025

Amazing! The food was really delicious, and it came very quick. The kathi rolls had perfectly crisp vegetables to offset the bread, which was nice and soft. The paneer/chicken was well-seasoned, spicy and balanced. I will say, the rolls were quite small. The butter chicken came out steaming, and it was also delicious. The chicken was generous and the curry was nicely spiced. The portion size of the curry is really good, as well. The staff are kind; Anant advised us on our choices and cracked some jokes, making the atmosphere friendly. You really need to give this place a try! Also, for being a brand-new restaurant, they have done a really good job with the space. The paintings on the wall make it feel more open, and I appreciated the pictures of menu items.

My First Time Stepping Out Of My Comfort Zone And Going To A “New” Indian Restaurant But I Definitely Was NOT Disappointed. The Food Was Good, Definitely One Of My Top 5 Indian Restaurants Here In Town That I Love, Thank You So Much For The Experience.
