This chic, dimly lit, BYOB spot is perfect for a nice dinner with family or friends--or a date night. We even got to meet the owner, Rahul, who personally checked in on every table to make sure everyone was having a great experience. Such a welcoming touch. I dined here over the holidays and absolutely loved both the food and the overall experience. Some standout dishes for me were the goat dum biryani, chicken tikka masala, hakka noodles, and navratan korma. You honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but these were definite favorites. Anytime I'm passing through this area, I'll be stopping by again. Seriously delicious Indian food.

Let's get this out of the way, the food is amazing. Sometimes you think that if the food is good,…read moreeverything else can be tolerated, this place thrives to prove you wrong. The place wasn't crowded, but the weirdness started from the moment we sat down and for some reason getting as many menus as we were a party was a big deal. Somehow after some time they figured it out. The descriptions on the menus are copy paste or AI. Phrases like "this dish commonly contains potatoes" appears pretty often. Clearly not written to describe the specific dish being served. While ordering I had to change my order twice to get something they actually had. But again even my third pick tasted real good. Everything took about three times longer than it should have. In this malaises of service with only two other tables sat. Every order was trickled in, with me getting my appetizer after everyone else was done. The staff had no idea what they were brining out, and telling bowls of meat in a meat in a brown sauce apart was impossible. The food started to get cold by the time this was sorted out. The biggest blow. We weren't asked about rice, so we expected it would just come wish dishes. We just got one bowl for six people. Not a big deal if in the slow service anyone checked up on us. At the end I left hungry and no one wanted to order desert as this seemed like it would add at least one more hour to our ordeal. But the food was real good.

There was a huge variety of items, over 30 of them. They had the special like haleem, jilapi, fried items like beguni, peyaju, and kababs like jali and shikh. The sitting area was used for putting the items on display. The restaurant itself is showing signs of age. It doesn't look very clean. I bought two full platters of items, and three biryani trays. The staff was really patient with me, as I was shopping over 20 minutes. Got a small discount for paying by cash. Among the food I tried, the goat and chicken biryani were excellent. Loved the keema kabab and aloo chop. Fried items were not good at all. Chotpoti and haleem were also not up to the standard. But jilapi and misti doi were very tasty. We were sort of disappointed with such mix quality of the food.

Not only do you get a chance to try a variety of regional Indian curries, but they also offer a Seasonal 'emu of specialty selections that you may not think to try. I like that they offer these innovative or socially selections so people can try the real tastes of India. Addie talk to selection is the QUALITY! They clearly use real, fresh ingredients because I had no discomfort after our meal, which tends to be common after eating at many Indian restaurants. I am my scientific proof; food quality is top notch! The service. All wait staff were friendly and kitchen ran like a smooth operation. Given that the restaurant is a small space, it becomes more essential that staff are knowledgeable and coordinated, as was the case here. Everyone was on their A game. Space is small but charming. In Upper Montclair but not at that busy intersection. Parking is on the street, metered. Not ideal but it is what it is. Overall, you definitely get a top quality experience here and this place is totally worth checking out.

When it comes to service, one is treated like you're their number one priority. I would suggest they install an awning to control the draft and the chill of winter. The outside lightings could use an upgrade as it looks too gloomy. The exit sign needs to be straightened as it is dangling on the wall. In regard to people waiting for take-out in pjs and flip flops, take away from the dining experience.
