From the moment we walked in, the rich aromas set the tone for what turned out to be a delicious dining experience. We started with the vegetable samosas and were exceptional. They were crisp, well-spiced, and paired perfectly with a tamarind sauce that was bursting with flavor. The garlic naan was crispy, and fresh out of the oven, and easily some of the best I've ever had. For our mains, I had the Paneer Butter Masala, and my husband ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala. Both dishes were incredibly fresh and full of rich, balanced spices. The paneer was tender and the sauce was creamy with just the right hint of sweetness. My husband's dish had that classic smoky depth you hope for with tikka masala, and he loved every bite. The only drawback was the water situation--served from a plastic bottle with no ice, which felt out of place for a sit-down dinner experience. It didn't match the vibe. That said, the food more than made up for it. We'll definitely be back soon.

The Mutton Ra Ta Pulav was also delicious, and surprisingly it was boneless. This definitely a dish I would try again and I really enjoyed the sauce on the side it was served with. The street noodles were also really tasty, and the slightly sweet spicy sauce they served on the side was definitely a plus. It also tasted homemade, it didn't taste like any other similar jarred sweet chili sauce I've ever had. I was really impressed with the beer, and it says that it's specifically brewed to pair with spicy food. I got all Of my dishes 4/5 on the spice level. I also want to note that the majority of customers were Indian which tells you alot about how good the food is. I was actually shocked to learn that this restaurant is actually a small chain out of Texas, because it tastes like it's family owned!

We ordered a chicken biryani at 2/5 that was a perfect spicy but my lamb tikka masala was very mild (ordered a 4/5). My only other complaint is the chicken which seemed to be chicken breast instead of thighs. While it was still good, using thighs would have been much more tender. Overall great place, average dish is $15-17 and enough for 1 adult. I'll be back to try some more dishes!

When I drove by this interesting looking restaurant, I had to check it out. What I found is a surprisingly authentic experience. My favorite dish so far has been the Fish Rogan Josh, which they apparently use talapia. The portion looks normal, but there is a lot of fish in the bowl. Saag Paneer and Mulligatawny Soup are pretty good too. On the downside, the Garlic Naan lacked flavor and slightly stiff. Don't bother with the Hot & Sour Soup. I would definitely come and try more of the menu if I lived nearby. Not sure if there are better Indian cuisine in this neck of the woods, but I wouldn't need it with Persis Biryani Indian Grill nearby.

I ordered tandoori chicken and it was enough to feed a family - six pieces! It tasted ok. The third dish was chicken tikka masala, which came in a reddish, tomatoey sauce and was too sweet for my liking. No alcohol is currently served, but they are awaiting a liquor license so that may change.

The menu has been streamlined, parking is plentiful, and the exterior has been freshly painted white, giving the place a clean, updated look before you even walk in. Inside, the space has been beautifully remodeled. It's bright, white, modern, and spotless, with tasteful accents that make it feel welcoming without being overdone. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout the visit. I missed their weekend buffet (which I'd love to try next time), but ordered the tandoori chicken with a side of garlic naan. The tandoori chicken was outstanding--deep, authentic flavor with just the right amount of spice. Enough heat to lightly tingle your lips, but not overpowering or lingering. Easily one of the most flavorful tandoori chickens I've ever had. The garlic naan was absolute perfection. If I lived closer, this would be a regular stop, especially to catch the buffet on a weekend. Highly recommended--definitely worth checking out.

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when I first pulled up because it appeared to be inside a gas station. Thankfully, I quickly realized they were separate businesses, and the clean environment immediately put my mind at ease. The falafel wrap was exactly what I was looking for fresh, flavorful, and made to order. The falafel was seasoned well with a nice texture. I would have preferred more topping options but the tzatziki sauce complemented it beautifully and the chickpea salad was a great side. It was definitely worth the stop, and I'll be back the next time I'm in town.

I was tired of paying for Delhi Palace's chicken and lamb that tasted freezer burnt and/or old and stringy, and shrimp that tough.

Eating out (or ordering take away) is too expensive these days to settle for poor quality food.

Located right on main near campus, I notice it all the time and finally had the time to try it. Upon entrance, I noticed the restaurant was pretty small so do not expect to bring huge groups.

The lady running the place was also incredibly kind as well and very accommodating . All in all, this place was a blast to try and I definitely recommend to anyone looking for some Indian food.

It was soggy and full with tomatoes. Usually the main ingredient is parsley and thats what we hoped for. But parley was barely there.. big disappointment (1/5). Gyro was very oily but it was okay.

Just a heads up--don't go if you're in a rush. Service was a bit on the slower side. It took a while to get seated, and my to-go order (just one entrée and an appetizer) took over 40 minutes. That said...the food made it worth the wait I ordered the Butter Panang and Onion Pakodas, and both were absolutely delicious. The sauce had the perfect kick at medium spice, and the garlic naan was the ideal way to soak up every last bite. The tamarind sauce was a little thinner than I prefer for dipping, but still packed with great flavor. Overall, even with the slower service, the quality of the food really stood out. I'll definitely be back--next time to dine in and explore more of the menu!
