I order from this restaurant pretty often and it's consistently so good! My favorites are…read moredefinitely the butter chicken and garlic naan. The butter chicken has so much flavor, and I especially love that the sauce isn't overly creamy or heavy. It has the perfect balance of spices and richness, and I could honestly order it every time. The garlic naan is also amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and perfect for soaking up the butter chicken sauce. Everything I've tried from here has been delicious, though, so it's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. One thing I really appreciate is how fresh the food always feels. Even when I order delivery or takeout, it arrives piping hot, which makes such a difference. The quality has been consistently great every time I've ordered. Definitely one of my go-to spots for Indian food!

You prepay and pre-tip (although you could always tip more in cash after service). Self serve water. You pick your seats. If the restaurant is not busy, you could bring a group of 8-10 here easily, there are also 2 tables outside that can fit 6-8 each. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend the kabob platter masala, incredibly flavor, nose running spice level. It comes with rice, but we ordered 1 garlic naan to soak up all the curry and that was a good choice. There were 3 shrimp, a moderate amount of chicken and lots of lamb, it was a ground lamb kabob. The Nilgiri Chicken curry was very coconut forward; the flavor reminded me of a mild Thai green curry, with the thickness of an Indian restaurant curry. If you're looking for spice without being spicy and love coconut, you'll love this. Rice was exceptional. Also ordered the Aam Palak Chaat (this is a staple for me) -- flavor was great, the dish was served cold including the spinach. I'd like to go back and try a Kati roll. Overall a great experience and I'll go back. Just know you do order vs full restaurant service. But your food is served at the table and the team checks in on you too! Great option for friends or groups paying separate checks.

We came, we tried, we won't be back. A friend purchased a Groupon deal to experience this…read morerestaurant, we could have chose anywhere else but we wanted to give this place a try. Arrived at 11:35am on a weekend. Entered, place was empty, we thought it would be a quick and attentive service. Not the case. It all so happens to be just one server and she was assisting in the back preparing take out/pick up orders. We sat at least 12-15 mins before she came to acknowledge us. We immediately let her know we had the Groupon to use. She let us know that it was a buffet style service and pointed us in that direction to take a look. We also browsed the menu but for the very little amount we eat, we thought it was best to try the buffet out which really only had 5 items. She allowed us that option even knowing we had the Groupon. We had to wave her down for water. She never came to check on us. She seemed very overwhelmed and without clear direction. Our Groupon was worth $40 of food for two. Just getting two plates from the buffet was $35. We were done and ready to pay. Well that's when she told us that she could not accept the Groupon because the buffet was not included and it had to be from the menu. We contested that she gave us that as an option which for all we knew it was an easier solve for them to not have to cook individual meals and just have us get food from the buffet that was already out and served (they seemed busy with take out orders). She continued to state that she could not accept the Groupon. We asked for a manager or someone else, who seemed to be in the back cooking. He proceeded to let us know that she was new, did not know, made a mistake and they still will not accept the Groupon because what we ate was less than the worth. We asked what needed to be done in order for that to happen and they requested we order more food yet he still wanted us to pay out of pocket since we ate a plate each from the buffet. Anyhow, the service was terrible. The manager or staff that came from the kitchen was extremely rude and demeaning even when the server gave us the wrong information. The food was ok, edible but I've had better, the dining in experience was horrible and complete lack of customer service and attention. We got rice putting to make up for the amount they wanted us to reach. We left them at the table as we really did not care for any more food. The salt and pepper shakers are also sticky and dirty. Train your employees properly to avoid these mishaps.

I asked for mild spice. I would equate mild to roughly jalapeño-level, but it wasn't overwhelming. The meal came with a bowl of jasmine rice and another side that I couldn't quite identify, but everything was delicious, filling, and fair priced. The interior was also attractive and tastefully decorated. Overall, a very enjoyable meal.

NOTE: This is mostly replicated in my review for Spice Circle as these businesses are co-located…read more Searching for pizza late night one night, and wanting something different than the old reliable of Domino's, Papa John's, or Pizza Hut, a new place called Indian Pizza Company. So, since I was looking for Pizza, the Butter Chicken Pizza caught my eye and instantly made me craving for it. Unfortunately, it was too late the night that I found them on Yelp, so I had to wait a couple of days. I knew generally where they were located, but had no idea that they were nestled a couple doors down from the Harris Teeter I have been going to for years. Even knowing the address, I passed by the first time as it doesn't stand out among the other businesses in the strip mall. Upon walking in, I saw that the place is clean and I was immediately greeted by the gentleman at the register. Still craving the idea of Butter Chicken on a Pizza, how could I order anything else? Well, when I noticed that they also sell momos, I also ordered Chicken Momos. The sound of a Mint Cherry Lemonade spurred my curiosity as well, so that topped off my order. The steamed momos took a little bit of time to make, so I was given my lemonade in the meantime...at my request. It is pretty amazing...but, you may want to ask for extra ice as it is very sweet and very sour at the same time...but is made fresh from real fruit and muddled mint. After about 10min, my order was ready, and somehow I was able to resist the urge to open the bag before my ten minute drive home. I have to admit, at first sight, the size to price ratio seemed to be off balance. The Butter Chicken flatbread pizza is not that big. Personal sized is appropriate...but the size is deceptive. Every bite of this little Pizza was amazing. It was like Butter Chicken and Pizza were made to be paired...with a generous amount of mozzarella marrying the two together. The chicken, the sauce, the cheese, the spice, the flatbread, the caramelized edges...all make for an amazing experience. After finishing the last bite of the last slice, I was unexpectedly, and pleasantly full. So, that size to price ratio? For such a unique and amazing Pizza, I think it's appropriately priced. The momos I had to save for the next day, but they too were amazing. For those unfamiliar with momos, the dumplings themselves are not that different from other Asian dumplings except that they tend to be fully stuffed and with higher quality meat. What sets momos apart is the sauce which is rich and flavorful...not just soy sauce like so many other asian dumplings. In this case, the sauce is a rich, creamy, spicy tomato sauce...and it paired perfectly with the chicken momos. They too seemed to be too few to make a meal, but I was wrong. Totally full afterwards with smile a mile wide. Will I be back? Uh...I would have gone back every day afterwards if I didn't want to ruin a good thing!
