Came here for a celebratory birthday dinner…read more--------------------------------- Food: pretty good Indian food and may be better than some of the places in downtown Richmond; we ordered about ~10 dishes including lamb rogan (pretty good), fragile chicken, paneer (so good), butter chicken, saag, cauliflower 65, various naans; food was very fresh with lots of spices and flavor; the dosas were huge too! Recommendations: dosas, saag with mozzarella (may be named something else), vegetarian dishes were better than the meat dishes; people liked the cauliflower 65 Affordability: good, well-priced Ambiance: lots of tables, accommodating for large groups & let us bring in an outside cake for the celebration Service: attentive, frequently checked in Good for: large groups, large menu (vegetarian options)

My partner ordered the Tikka Masala Chicken. The sauce was creamy and delicious. The chicken had an aromatic hint. Absolutely fantastic. I had the Mirch Masala Paneer which was also delicious. The paneer was firm and rich. The gravy was oilier than I prefer but it did not detract from the dish. Maybe it was an off day but service was not what I would expect. In fact, I felt that taking care of us was a n inconvenience to both servers who came to our table and the host who never spoke to us.

The spicy was not as spicy as I thought it would be, but I think a lot of it was subdued by the mango and sweetness. It was an amazing flavor with sweet, savory. The Naan paired really well with the sauce. Staff was nice and helpful as they recommended to try this dish if I liked a butter chicken /tikki masala. Overall a fantastic Indian food spot that I would definitely come back to! Food(50%): 8.7 Staff/service(25%): 8.0 Value(25%): 7.5 Overall: 8.2/10

When you get to your table, there is a QR code to scan which brings up the menu and the ability to order, which is nice so you have time to read through descriptions and chose your desired spice level. Service was friendly and our server helped explain how to use the online ordering system. The orange ginger scallop appetizer was delicious- it was very light and flavorful. The paneer tikka was also good, spicy but with great flavor. We also ordered garlic naan and mutter paneer, which had good flavor.

We usually get the Dal Tarka, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Korma, along with Raita and Naan, and everything tastes amazing every time. What I love most is that even when they are super busy with takeout orders (which shows how popular it is!), there's often a quiet corner available if we plan for an early dinner. It's perfect for just relaxing and chatting. Seriously, if you like Indian food, or if you've never tried it, please check this place out! They have such fantastic vegetarian and vegan options too. You won't be disappointed--it makes a wonderful date night spot! Which o

Next, they have a nice outdoor seating area which many took advantage of because the weather was beautiful for an end of May day. Once inside, I didn't see a host, but a gentlemen at the bar asked how many. He looked like the owner. A second later, we were seated by our waiter. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and everything was clean and easily accessible. We ordered the garlic naan. It came with 2 big pieces and a green dipping sauce that tastes like cilantro. Yum! We were so hungry I forgot to take a picture. For dinner, I had the Chicken Tikka Masala. It had onions and pepper and it was a gravy with a buttery taste. It came with basmati rice. It was amazing! My husband that loves spicy food ordered the Lamb Shahi Korma with a side of heat sauce. He said the hot sauce was very flavorful and the lamb was tender. Everything was sooooo good, we needed extra basmati rice and it was included. Overall, the ambience was pleasant and relaxing. The employees were super nice. I did have to put on my jacket because it was a little cold for me inside, but I love it that way. When we left, we were sent off with goodbyes and thank you. We definitely will return. We want to check out their buffet. As a tip, if you go online to their website, you can see a picture of all of their menu items. One thing though, my internet was spotty inside, so you might want to do that beforehand including transferring money if that's something you might need to do.

Guests can choose their preferred protein, sauce, and spice level, as well as enjoy a selection of beer, wine, and Indian Sula wines. We visited during lunchtime and partook of their lunch specials, featuring generous portions and a decent variety. I enjoyed Goat Vindaloo while wife was milder with Seafood Korma. I asked for spicy and received their level 5 (1-5). It was good, flavors and seasoning were excellent, but for truly spicy you need to ask for "True Indian Level" they are used to a bunch of Americans with tender palates! The staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations, and although the place was busy, we never felt rushed. The restaurant's clean and inviting environment adds to the positive experience. We saw a few dishes that others had ordered from the regular menu, and they looked ample and generous. So, although it seems a little pricey, it is not a bad value.
