I had enough left over for another portion or two of meat and a portion of rice. The papadum (crispy bread savory) they give in the beginning as a complimentary start is an easy binge. The service didn't rush me which is nice. The ambiance is a cute intimate setting. Did you know that out of red meat and poultry that goat has the least cholesterol? It doesn't taste gamey when it's fresh and halal haha. You're welcome. Enjoy.

The chicken was really juicy and flavorful, and they give a generous portion, which is always appreciated. I've also had the Gulab Special before, which includes your choice of a starter, main course, and dessert starting at $23.99. It's a very filling deal and a great value.

The Samosa Chaat appetizer was very flavorful and the perfect amount for two. The Garlic Naan also had good flavor, but could've been packaged differently so as to prevent it from getting soggy. The 2 lamb curry dishes were both excellent. We ordered Rogan Josh and the Lamb Korma. As with the lamb which was very tender, both curries were perfectly cooked and had the perfect balance of flavor, spice, and texture. Both curries came with basmati rice, which was just right.

I ordered takeout from this spot on Saturday night around 7:30, and honestly, the experience was…read morepretty disappointing. I expected a bit of a wait since it was a weekend, but the food wasn't ready until almost an hour later. Had to sit in the car for nearly half hour. Saturday nights are busy, but a restaurant should be prepared for that. The bigger issue was the Chicken Tikka Masala. It felt like they ran out of their usual portions because the chicken pieces were unusually large, and two of them weren't cooked all the way through. I bit into one and immediately knew something was off, the texture was almost cartilage-like, and it definitely wasn't fully cooked. I couldn't even cut it with a fork. Some of the other pieces were okay and cooked through to be considered edible. The flavor was fine, but the inconsistency and undercooked chicken really ruined the meal.

I recently visited this new Indian restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I…read morewalked in, I noticed how spotlessly clean the place was, the interior is really well designed and creates a welcoming atmosphere. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the people. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the various dishes to me. Their warmth and hospitality made the whole experience feel special. As for the food absolutely outstanding. The tandoori chicken was hands down the best I've ever had. The goat curry was equally impressive, packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. Every dish I tried was delicious and full of authentic taste. All around, this is a fantastic spot with consistently flavorful food and excellent service. Definitely give it a try, it's quickly become one of my new favorite places!

I couldn't finish the whole bowl in one meal and saved the rest for next day's lunch. These guys were so nice to even send me a chilled chai flavoured beverage.

Well, luck finally swung my way, and I found myself able to experience the hype for myself one sunny Sunday afternoon. - Punugulu: A delectable starter of deep fried num nums (yes, I said "num nums") made with urdal dal and rice. Complex layers of flavor paired with extremely fresh chutneys = win - Kutti Kutti Dosa combo: Do yourself a favor--even if you're dining all by your lonesome--and just get this combo so you maximize the things to try. This adorable selection of mini taco-sized dosas came with: 1) Jini Dosa: A rice crepe filled with mixed vegetables and the chef's special sauce, sprinkled with cheese on top. Scrumptious 2) Masala Dosa: A classic for a reason, and this was filled with all the cumin- and mustard-infused starch you could hope for 3) Gun Powder Dosa: The more picante cousin to #2, and boy were they generous with the seasoning. 4) Unknown Masala Dosa: I can't remember the name of this one, but it had a different flavor profile from the others--deeper and creamier. Beverage-wise, you can't go wrong with the classic Masala Chai, which wasn't too sweet, or the incredibly thick, housemade Mango Lassi. I would avoid the housemade Watermelon Juice, though, as it had way too much sugar added. Stroll by at 11am-11:30am on a weekend, and you might have a shot at getting in on the first seating. Might.

overall I thought the food was good, portions were huge, and prices were reasonable…read more The restaurant itself is pretty simple -- don't expect a fancy dining environment -- but the food is definitely the main point here. We ordered Gol Gappay, lamb biryani, Gosht Karahi, and a naan. The Gol Gappay was interesting. Crispy shells filled with chickpeas and potato, with a tangy, salty, savory flavor. Adding a little yogurt balanced it out nicely. Definitely something different. The lamb biryani was around the low teens price-wise and came in a huge portion with plenty of meat. The lamb was slightly dry -- felt like it may have been prepared earlier and kept warm -- but still flavorful and within expectations for the price. The standout for us was the Gosht Karahi. Tender but slightly chewy lamb, very savory and well seasoned, with lots of large chunks of meat. It looks a bit pricey at first, but considering how much meat you actually get, it felt like a solid value. We packed up half of it and still thought the leftovers were more generous than some restaurants' fresh servings. The naan was massive. Good flavor, although it didn't have that super fresh-out-of-the-tandoor smoky char. Funny enough, reheating it in the air fryer at home made it even better. One thing to know: every dish here runs large, so this place is better with a group. There are parking spots in front, but not many.

Inedible Signature Dish, Shockingly Unprofessional Service, and Zero Empathy…read more ​We visited this restaurant based on strong recommendations, hoping for a memorable family dinner. Unfortunately, after paying a $221 bill, this turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had. ​While the karai was a redeeming bright spot, the signature nihari was completely disappointing--resembling a heavy, generic spicy curry rather than traditional nihari, and ultimately left uneaten. ​However, the food was secondary to the appalling level of service. In all our years of dining out, we have never witnessed staff physically clearing plates and food from a table while guests were still in the middle of eating. It is a fundamental breach of basic hospitality and respect. ​Compounding this, we were dining with our children, including a child with autism who was having a genuinely difficult moment. Given that management is reportedly well aware of these parenting challenges, the complete lack of patience, empathy, or professional grace from the staff was deeply disheartening. ​A $221 bill should at the very least guarantee a baseline standard of customer care and human decency. Regrettably, due to the total failure in service and professionalism, this was our first and last visit.
