Haven't been back here in ages, but all I can say is the food still hits…read more Came on a Saturday night with my brother and started with the samosas. Perfectly fried, not greasy at all, and the filling was packed with flavor. The real standout though was the trio of chutneys. The tangy tamarind, spicy chili, and fresh mint-cilantro all complemented the samosas so well. For entrees, we ordered the chicken vindaloo and saag, plus garlic naan (which is a must). The naan was perfect for scooping up all the sauce, and the pilaf rice that comes with the dishes soaked everything up nicely. The chicken vindaloo had great flavor with a solid spicy kick. The saag was a bit on the bland side, but still enjoyable and had a nice chunk of cheese in it. Service was great. The staff checked in on us and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. The ambiance was quiet and made it easy to actually have a conversation, which I appreciated. Parking is free but shared with other spots, so it can get tight on busy nights or during lunch rush. Definitely planning to come back, especially to try their lunch buffet.

They immediately brought me menus. I ordered the Maderas Margarita and Tikka Shrimp Salad with an upgrade for the garlic naan off of their lunch special menu. They had really fun names for their cocktails. The Maderas Margarita was interesting. The taste of the jalapeno was bold, the way it should be for a spicy margarita. There was mashed mint and cilantro in it. The drink tasted more like a mojito than a margarita. Nonetheless, it was well presented with a jalapeno on the rim of the glass for decoration and the drink was very much enjoyable. The Tikka Shrimp Lunch Salad was full of flavor. There was grilled mushrooms, diced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and mozzarella cubes in it. The grilled shrimp was deliciously grilled. The house dressing seem to be done your of Indian spices vinaigrette which was very interesting. I would say that the spice level on this was mild to medium. I enjoyed this dish. The garlic naan bread was served fresh. It was the perfect thickness where you can experience both the crispiness and the soft bread at the same time. The garlic flavor wasn't overpowering. It was nicely done. I would definitely return to try other items and perhaps their happy hour menu.

Parking was easy, and once we sat down, everything just kept getting better. The menu is surprisingly extensive with so many authentic options beyond your typical Indian restaurant staples.

They were so attentive and kept coming by to check in and make sure we were enjoying everything, which made the whole experience feel very welcoming. We definitely over-ordered, but no regrets at all. I'm usually not big on leftovers, but this was so good that I had it again the next day and somehow it tasted just as amazing, if not better. This place completely exceeded expectations. If you're even slightly into Indian food, this is a must-try. And we can't wait to be back again when we are in the area!

Not everything has to be hot, but the flavors are balanced, and the condiment amount is just right. The condiments do not overwhelm your pallet. The service is impeccable. Super attentive and very knowledgeable. Ask questions about the food if you don't know. You'll enjoy it more if you know exactly what you're getting into. They remodeled the inside a few months ago and walking in from the outside is complete travel to a new place.

I used to come here all the time when they had lunch buffets and today the staff notified me they will no longer be having buffets. Nonetheless we sat for lunch today because the food is that good. Food We ordered butter chicken, lamb curry, garlic naan and side of rice. They also provided some chips with a sweet chutney and seems like spicy cilantro chutney. The green chutney is my favorite because it's got a nice salty and spicy kick. I think the spice level here is catered to the locals that come here, it's more mild than traditional Indian cuisine. We got medium spice level and there wasn't much heat. Butter chicken was thick and creamy with some nice acidity from tomatoes, chicken pieces were a nice bite size. Lamb curry was smoky and had a nice deep herb flavor. Garlic naan is a must order when you get these saucy dishes to dip in or you can toss it with the rice. Two servers today and they were both very friendly. Came to check on us a few times and refill our waters without asking. Definitely not as busy these days I assume from discontinuing the lunch buffet. There were probably 4-5 tables dining in while we were there.
