    Funny colored bone in chicken
    Bry M.

    Really wanted to love this place after seeing ads since before they opened. Ordered delivery and the bag holding the samosa appetizer was absolutely soaked in excess oil because it was in a paper bag. The oil spill was not the end of the world but then I opened the biryani and it had a straight up chicken bone without any meat on it. The menu does not specifically mention if proteins are boneless but in case you decide to order consider yourself warned. Chicken masala was good. Hopefully our next experience is better as we are all about supporting new businesses in our awesome town. We understand that finding good kitchen help can be challenging to say the least but the folks ordering take out containers need to seriously rethink how they package foods and make sure everything that leaves the restaurant is quality if they plan to compete in a market with so many other options available.

    The food is hands down amazing!!! The service was amazing. Chicken Biryani and Chicken Karahi both were delicious. Don't forget to get the Naan. Note: it's Pakistani biryani NOT a Hyderabadi biryani, it was amazing.

    Tandoori chicken

    Food was delicious! The wait time was INSANE! We waited almost 1.5 hrs for our food. Otherwise the taste of food was delicious, Briyani was good! Chicken and naan was good. Don't buy the packages kulfi (ice cream) from fridge by register, it was old and you can tell it's been there for a long time. Kind of crumbled in my mount as soon as k took a bite.

    Omg, this place is amazing I'm petitioning for one in Chicago!…read moreEverything we had was so good and our server was so nice. We arrived an hour before closing and the place was bustling! Once seated we ordered the okra fries (good for a group, too much for one person and they were a bit salty). The server scooped up the last tandoori chicken for my sister and I had the paneer. The way things were prepared were new to me but so, so , so good. The mango lassi was fresh and not made from a mix, the naan was just right and the rice was warm and fluffy. We also had the cardamom ice cream and carrot cake and this place knocked both out of the park. I love flavorful food and was so happy someone suggested this gem!

    First time to their 'new' location (visited back there 2.5 years ago). They have what seems to be a…read moremuch bigger menu than I remember. We sat at the bar and made some new friends. We got right in as a result. The space is so much nicer as it is now really large. What a colorful and awesome place. We ordered the vada tots. This is a change up on tater tots with a great dipping sauce. The food came out incredibly fast! Both were not merely good, each was utterly fantastic!!! We eat at Indian places everywhere and have never had flavors this profoundly amazing. I can see why they earned the James Beard Award! We were traveling through and wanted to give them another try after 3 years. The owner is the Michelangelo in the field of amazing flavors! He has won us over and the finess with each flavor show his dedication to perfection. If ever you come to Asheville, do yourself a favor a definitely stop in, wait if you need to and then feast!!! Absolutely awesome!!!
