From filling water glasses to clearing used plates to checking in us- various employees interacted with us with grace and professionalism. My two dear friends and I arrived at 12:30 and we were one of two tables occupied and the , 15 minutes later, the restaurant began to fill. The menu is tidy and to the point. Most dishes can be made with tofu, chicken, beef, shrimp or lamb. We jumped on some appetizers to start and they were all winners. Of the three-Chicken 65, garlic naan with roti sauce, and Paneer Pakora- I don't know that I could pick a favorite. They were tasty, freshly prepared and wonderfully presented. I chose chicken tikki masala as my entree and it was a home run. The boneless chicken was floating in a spicy tomato based sauce with a slight swirl of cream. I wanted a straw for every last drop. There were a couple of times during the meal when I got wonderful whiffs of the meat and other items being cooked. The charred, fired smell was enchanting. The place is located on the end a small strip of stores. There was plenty of parking. (I don't think I noticed what the other store fronts did next door). I have tried a couple of Indian restaurants in the greater East Cobb area and I will share this is at the top of my list. I loved it!

The sauce its self was oily, and broth-like instead of a thick brownish/reddish paste like normal. The taste was not okay. I rate it a 1/5. The chicken in the butter chicken was the WORST. Wasn't like a regular chicken breast or chicken boneless thigh. Full chicken bones from a chicken thigh. I was spitting out pieces of bone and the rubber tendon. Disgusting. My naan bread was flavorful however it was rock hard at the bottom. I couldn't even eat it after 10 mins. My only regret was not take a picture. 30$ waisted. I'm

Don't expect t every dish, every day; that's not feasible for a small town, family restaurant. I don't know if they change the menu daily or not, but I'll be back to find out.

I've ordered biryani from Turmeric several times now, and it's by far one of the best in the area…read more The flavors are authentic, well-balanced, and consistently satisfying. What really stands out is the inclusion of raita and achar. That extra touch brings back fond memories of family home-cooked biryani and makes the experience feel complete. The food quality has been excellent with every order, and the overall dining experience is solid and reliable. One small suggestion would be to consider using to-go boxes with an aluminum liner or another healthier packaging option for takeout orders, as the food really deserves packaging that preserves its quality. Overall, this is authentic, comforting food done right. Highly recommended for anyone looking for real biryani.

First of all the flavors in every dish we chose knocked our socks off! We chose a medium level of heat and decided on a variety of dishes to try to get a full experience. We HEARD the Tandoori Mixed grill come out, then the aromas hit us. BEAUTIFULLY prepared! There was a wide variety of meats, chicken, lamb, fish, paneer, shrimp. Sizzling on a cast iron platter with aromatics mixed in. This dish was perfectly seasoned. The chicken was my favorite! The Chicken Korma was next. This has to be one of my favorite Indian dishes ever. The chicken is almost secondary to the sauce as I tend to dip naan the whole time I'm eating it. The chicken however was very tender and the flavors were incredible! We had two different kinds of Naan to sop all of the sauces up! Such an incredible variety! We had outstanding service and there were several servers making sure our drinks stayed full and our plates were cleared. The restaurant is an old Wendy's, not too fancy inside but clean, and the area is not the greatest, but don't sleep on this restaurant!! They seriously know what they are doing and we plan to make this our spot for this type of Indian cuisine. Oh and I watched my first Cricket match! That's a cool sport! There were a couple of TVs on around the restaurant with sports. Definitely try this place!

Hidden behind the Corner Grocery store at the less assuming end of Canton Street, you might think it's a front for an organized crime unit that's expanded its operations from Queens and into north Atlanta. Alas, the inside is exactly what you might expect given the outside - the walls are each painted a different color - a color that you'd be hard pressed to find at Home Depot. The ceiling is mustard yellow, the kitchens Christmas green, and one wall of a small boy's bedroom pale blue. And yes, stuffed in this small space of ambiance is four TVs coupled with three gambling arcade games. The front kitchen resembles the makeup of a hot dog shop, though it's all they need. There's an outside patio that's decorated quite nicely for warmer days. Overall, the interior is what you want out of a real South Indian restaurant. You know the food will be good. You'll expect nothing less. The cuisine itself is quite vast for this little shop. A full half page itself dedicated to specialty dosas. Entrees that are common and others you may have only heard on Tony's episode to Hyderabad. It's as legit as you can find in north Georgia, perhaps anywhere in the south for that matter. The faces behind the counter are friendly and they're quick to recommend their favorites. Overall, it's a culinary experience that hinges on the senses of taste and smell and comfort that sometimes gets lost in a north Atlanta sea of overpriced menus with subpar American tacos. The next time I'm hungover, this is my spot.

Upon entering the restaurant there was no welcome, but rather a look of irritation by the guy behind the counter. I ordered carry away, so took the order and scooted. This chap actually, followed me out only to close the door. Now I really enjoy Indian food whether it be northern or southern but found the food to be acceptable. Not bad, not great. I found the portions meager. Sometimes a hole in the wall can blow you away in the best of ways. As my first time trying their food this was not my experience. Will I try it again probably who knows.

The curry leaves and black seed make it incredibly fragrant, and the spices create a deep, complex flavor with a nice chili heat that's really unique. I'm so glad I tried this instead of the butter chicken. It's a lighter curry--not as creamy--but still incredibly rich and satisfying. Honestly, I'm surprised there aren't more reviews about it yet because it's a standout dish. And don't skip the mango lassi--it's absolutely delicious and the perfect balance to the spice. If you want a change from butter chicken, this dish is definitely worth trying!

The ambiance was fine, nothing special. The service was poor. Several Indian restaurants I've visited seem to have an "everyone is your server" policy, which definitively means that no one is your server. Every phase took forever, but at least everything seemed fairly made to order. It was hot and fresh and pretty, if the taste lacked a bit to be desired. They were somewhat non-committal when I asked about gluten-free. The menu has gluten-free symbols in the key, but not one item was labeled with that symbol. They said that just about everything is gluten free, and they offered me a roti that they said was "whole wheat," thus gluten free. What?!?! The prices weren't awful and portions were fairly nice, but there are just much better Indian places in the area, so I don't imagine we'll be back. Oh, and both of our stomachs were pretty messed up later. Hmmm....

With all the low health scores lately, Aapka still got a 100 and isn't in a fancy/brand-new facility. They genuinely care about the health of their customers and it shows. The restaurant is in the back of the Montana's shopping center, so it's not hard to find but not visible easily from the road. The menu is focused on regional cuisine, fresh ingredients, authentic recipes, and the needs of their local customer base. Kay (the owner) told us quite about about her focus on Northern Indian cuisine, which is less hot, so this is a great place for beginners - especially on Saturday or Sunday when there's a buffet with a good variety of items and good quality. Their staff is well-trained and friendly. The gentleman who was working on Saturday took plenty of time to explain dishes on the buffet and was obviously well-aware of how the food was made. I can't eat dairy, and a lot of Indian dishes have cream, yogurt, or butter, but they had 3 dairy-free dishes on the buffet! I would have been totally happy with that, but he also brought me special vegan sweets because the gulab jamun on the buffet had dairy. We will definitely be back - I can't remember the last time I ate Indian food at a restaurant and felt great afterwards, so I'm really happy to have this local gem and want to see them succeed!

They have a lot of options on the menu and many may be wonderful. The dining room is well decorated and bright. Our waiter was nice. Water stayed full. The fresh naan was delicious!!! The buffet was small, limited. There was dal, butter chicken, samosas, etc. I think maybe we just hit them on an off day? The rice was nearly empty and very dried out. They were out of goat curry when we went to the table but the waiter kindly offered to go ask the kitchen for more. I did not try it but my husband enjoyed it. There was a bin with a little lettuce and some tomato slices labeled salad. Some pappadum and some tamarind chutney. Meh. Should we go back perhaps I will try the bhel puri. For what it is, the buffet seemed expensive. They also offer a thali plate for lunch. I saw some people eating this and it looked good. I forgot to take pictures.

I did ask for "Indian spicy" and didn't really find it that spicy though. I had plenty leftover the next day! My mom got a dal and I thought it was excellent! Would definitely come here again and try some different dishes. The inside is really modern and clean looking. I will say one thing, the service was extremely slow, but to be fair, it was the day after Christmas so maybe they were a bit short staffed?
