A coworker recommended this spot to my husband and I while were traveling for work and it was a…read moregreat recommendation. We shared: - Shahi Paneer - Veg Kothu Parotta - Parotta - Garlic Naan Parotta is my favorite Indian bread and I'm always excited when I find a restaurant that has it because it's not very common. The curry was absolutely delicious. The medium spice level was perfect for me. I loved the Kothu Parotta as well, though the medium spice level was significantly spicier than the curry. The menu is huge and there was so much I wanted to order. I'll definitely be back next time I'm traveling for work.

Went there around 9:20pm on a Saturday and while most places were closing or closed, this place…read morewas still hopping with Indian patrons. Cilantro chicken appetizer would be ideal for someone who loved garlic and cilantro. Ghee roast had nice chunks of bone in goat but wish it was a bit more tender, so I took it home and heated it in a pot with a little water and a lid to make the meat tender and succulent. Kerala parotha was super flaky and delicious. Had hot masala chai on a cold night. The service was friendly but could be a bit more attentive. Large menu with many options leaning more towards South India.

Excellent dining experience at an amazing Indian restaurant. A bunch of friends went for dinner and…read morehad a fantastic time! We started off with the famous irani chai and bun maska. This is a rare find and is a classic cafe snack in the Parsi restaurants of Mumbai and Hyderabad. For appetizers, we had garbanzo chicken, curry leaf chicken and chicken 65. Each item had a distinctive flavor, with garbanzo chicken being mild, chicken 65 being medium curry leaf being spicy. For the main course, we had goat biriyani, chicken biriyani and chicken -65 dosa. For vegetarian items, we got gobi and paneer. Great service and good ambience! The decor is fascinating and has lots of original handicrafts reflecting traditional cultural art forms of various Indian states

I also had the garlic naan which was very good. Service was average. Very little interaction other than taking my order. I paid with credit card and waiter would not let me leave a tip on the card.

2 years later…read more........ good: Masala dosa still tastes good Bad: Customer service!!!! Such delay in bringing food to the table, Drinks were only given after I reminded that they're not here, that too after 25 minutes. Waited over 45 minutes for my child's meal and when asked , he said it's coming. ( wish I got his name). Then I asked him to pack it to go because it's late and he said ok. After the payment, the receipt was printed and there was a to-go charge. Not that I can't afford the $.50 charge, but really? you didn't have the decency to tell me the food is arriving and/or apologized for the delay, you charged me on top of it. They don't show what's being charged on the machine, only show the tip part and walks away. we have been there many times and this incident makes me want to not go there anymore.

Wifey chose one with chicken. They came out with some dill and peanut sauces. The chicken was very flavorful but the goat was very bland. And boney. There were big bones throughout. Yeah no that was not traditional or good. A few other guests arrived but most of the business seems like take out. Might try the Tilki Pizza but otherwise won't be back.

The Mutton Chukka was the best we have ever had, it paired very well with the Naan. Next time we will ask for boneless chicken Kurma which might be easier to eat but also pairs well with the Garlic Naan. The Garlic Naan was spot on. One really can't go wrong with these selections. We'll certainly be back and bring more people along with us. Probably the best Indian restaurant in South East PA.

One of the few places that are open late, after 9pm. So when we picked this after a long moving day…read morepain, I was not expecting too much. The external facade and parking didn't give me much confidence. However overall experience turned out to be great! Since it was close to 9pm when we entered, only couple of more tables were occupied. Menu was mix of north and South Indian food and we were not sure which way we should go. All were tired after a day of moving stuff and we decided to get Chana Masala and (forgot the name) pepper chicken. All entrees come with rice, so we ordered only couple of more garlic naans. Whole order was sufficient for 4 of us. Chana masala was South Indian style but was freshly made and tasty. Peeper chicken was cooked to perfection and was spicy, with a punch. The taste was unique. Best part was naan. Chef had prepared it fresh and was fluffy. I will even go back just for naans. Definitely worth a visit every time we are in neighborhood.

The restaurant is in a strip mall and the interior is kept nice and looks good place to eat with family too, the next door you can buy fresh meat too.

As I spoke to the folks inside the restaurant, they are passionate about their food and quality and the authenticity of the cuisine, that's great to hear. The service is great as the food was ready by the time I reached it! Coming to the food , the kabobs are delicious and will order again again , I will have to try their chicken Charga one day. In Biryani the meat was cooked to perfection, however the biryani was uncooked rice and no flavor at all this could be because of last minute rush but I haven't even finished it just discarded it but will give it a try very soon !!
