Customer Reviews
We went here as a family to try some new flavors and this place did not disappoint. We got the butter chicken, chicken biryani, chicken curry, traditional samosas, mango lassi, and brownie. The butter chicken was amazingly flavorful, however the biryani was a little under my expectations. The chicken curry tasted pretty good. Samosas were delicious and warm. The brownie tasted okay but the way it was served was weird (it was on a hot plate and the chocolate sauce got burnt). Overall, very nice place with friendly staff and good food. I highly recommend. Also they have halal meat
We chose this restaurant mainly because we were in the mood for Indian food and it had a solid 4.6 rating. Upon arrival, the staff—especially the person in charge—struggled to find seating for our group of six. After some effort and rearranging, two tables were joined and we were finally seated and placed our order. The appetizer was enjoyable, but the main course was just average. Service was a bit slow, and we were surprised by a surcharge for paying with a credit card, which wasn’t communicated in advance. Overall, the experience wasn’t great—though I suppose I should be thankful they didn’t charge for water.
The food was delicious! It was my first time trying Indian food and it was amazing! I got some kind lamb meat with a green sauce on the side but it was so good. Their tandoor chicken was delicious as well. But my favorite was their garlic naan bread! If you come here, you should definitely try their garlic naan bread!
We had lunch here recently on our small vacation trip. The guy Om at the front desk was very courteous and welcoming to my family. The place has its own parking lot and plenty of parking spaces. The dine in area was very well kept and decorated. We had their Goat biriyani, Chicken Tikka masala butter chicken, kabob, garlic naan and Mango Lassi. The Goat biriyani was the highlight of our lunch and it was delicious. Overall can't complain about the food there. Om was very understanding and able to make a masala tea (special order) for me on our road trip. Definitely a go to spot for our Indian food cravings in the area.
I was completely unaware we had a new restaurant in town, and was surprised to find out it was an Indian one! I don't think we've ever had an Indian restaurant here (though there is a local pizza place that offers some Indian dishes) so I was excited to try them. I don't do well with high amounts of spice, so I choose items that I thought were low or no spice. I was wrong. Both items were SO spicy. Even my roommate, who loves to put hot sauce on everything, said my food was very spicy. I got samosas and stuffed mushrooms. When I ordered the samosas, I asked to only be given the potato ones and made it a point to request no jalapeno ones. They gave me jalapeno anyway. I only realized after I had already eaten one and ended up running to my fridge to chug some milk. The actual construction o
