I do not often post reviews, but want to encourage more business their way…read more.. This is our favorite local Indian spot, hands down. I've tried a handful around the Lawrenceville/Snellville/Grayson area, and none come close. I've appreciate some good Indian cuisine for the better part of 20 years, and although I don't venture too far from my normal favorites, everything I've had here is good. I'm the prototypical samosa/chicken tikka/naan eater, and these favorites are excellent. Maybe throw in some Chicken 65, aloo palak, or veg korma and you got a solid family meal. Don't forget to order some rice, and make sure you let them know how spicy (even though my family wants no spice - they do that too!) The one downside is it can take a while. If you call at 6pm on a Saturday, expect to wait at least an hour. The thing is, the food is truly homemade and fresh, so it takes time. It's definitely worth it, but there are times when we just didn't prepare well in advance, or they are really busy because they cater too. Normal times you can have your food in about 45min. We mostly do takeout, as do most I think, so if you are in the area and looking to sit down to eat, I've never seen it completely packed, so you don't have to worry about waiting to get a table. Don't be thrown off by the minimal signage or limited if not no people sitting inside - it's a perfect place to enjoy some incredible Indian from a family owned mom&pop restaurant. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

My husband, my friend & I visited this spot for dinner and it was a weird experience…read more Pros are shorter, so here we go: Food arrived fast and looked very appetizing. I got the kothu parotta, my husband the Butter Chicken with Naan and my friend, the Kappa and Ulli Theeyal. I've had better kothu parottas but overall the food tasted good. Cons: Strike #1: While placing the order, the guy with the cap on was annoyed and spoke insensitively. He perfectly fit the description of the rude guy mentioned on Google reviews. My husband told me to let it slide as it was nearing closing time and yes, maybe the guy was anxious. Strike #2: He asked us the spice levels and when my friend said spice level 3/10, he smirked, laughed and asked if she is a Gujju (Folks from Gujarat, India who get stereotyped for their spice tolerance levels). She took it sportively and said yes. Strike #3: This was when I started feeling very uncomfortable. My friend was checking out the snacks they had on display, especially the Achappam (A sweet, flower-shaped snack that's popular in Kerala). While we were discussing it, the same guy came to us and said 'Gujjus usually like this snack'. She was about to purchase it but rather came back quietly to her seat. Later, she told me that his comment was the reason why she didn't make the purchase. Making stereotypical comments - Way to go Kerala Kitchen! Despite all these, my friend and my husband did quite enjoy the food. They just wanted a good meal and leave without any fuss. My husband even tipped the guy! I wish I'm half as nice as them.

Super refreshing. Oh, and how could I forget vada pav - it was so good! For mains we ordered mushroom uttapam - that was yum, pav Bhabhi was ok.

The owner came out from the back and advised that he would assist me. I told him I like butter chicken and any tikka Masala but I would like to try something different. He asked if I liked spice and I said "yes!" He then asked if I like goat and I said "yes!" He suggested the Kadai Goat! I ordered the Kadai goat, Garlic Naan and a Mango Lassi ! While waiting I had the opportunity to check out the dining area. It's a good amount of seating, clean and spacious. The food was so good! Everything was made to order, fresh, hot and tasty! The goat in the dish was tender, the naan was flavor and crispy and the rice was fluffy. It had the right amount of spice. I plan to return! Both the customer service and food were great even close to closing!

We visited this amazing Indian restaurant on a Friday night. You can park in the building carpark…read more First you have to pay for the parking but you can validate it upto 3 hours using QR code at the restaurant. Right from the start, we received a very warm welcome from the staff. We chose to sit indoors, although they also offer outdoor seating. To start, we tried their Tikki Margarita and a smoked cocktail. The Margarita was sweet but quite strong--definitely worth the money. We tried their "Rupee beer", which is a light larger and it was very hydrating. For appetizers, we highly recommend the lamb kebab, which comes in a portion of four pieces. For the main course, we had the lamb biryani, garlic naan, tandoori chicken, and paneer. The biryani and goat curry came beautifully wrapped in a dough. Everything was absolutely delicious, but the highlights were definitely the biryani and goat curry. For dessert, we had Pistachio Kulfi, which is essentially a frozen Indian-style ice cream. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient, and we had a lovely time overall

This is the summary of my experience there: 1) Ambiance 3/5: The place from outside looks contemporary and chic. The bar looks inviting but as you enter the dining area, the place is dated. The decor looks shabby and I feel they should renovate for they have a reputation to maintain 2) Service 3/5: This was a hit and a miss for me. Though they are gracious enough to validate your parking, the service was at times good but at times slow and bad. One person was good at suggestions but the other person was really lazy. I went their for my birthday but they took about 10 minutes to get me a candle which was disappointing to say the least. 3) Food 4/5: This is where they excel. Although everything was pricey. The taste made up for it. We had: a) kaala khatta : This is basically shikanji but was refreshing b) mango chili mojito: My wife loved it. It tasted like you were eating raw mango with salt and chili powder. c) palak patta chaat - it was crispy and flavorful d) Chicken curry: Loved the taste. The accompanying rice was so less that it looked like a joke e) Chur chur naan and garlic naan: Pricey and ok f) Carrot halwa with ice cream: The combination was good but carrot halwa in general was ok. Tasted like the heated store bought frozen halwa 4) Value for money 3/5: Really pricey. The taste was look but for the amount, everything was pricey I would only return if I a really craving for Indian food with nothing in the vicinity and someone else is paying. The good: 1) Food and flavor Not so Good: 1) Decor 2) Prices 3) Service

We went for the hot bar 3 curry plate choosing chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Masala, Vegetable Kurma , Paneer Butter Masala with the choice of appetizer between 65 Cauliflower or 65 Chicken we chose Chicken. We upgraded their delicious naan for a more complex Peshawari (which was a big taste success). With these three curries all a 4-5 full large soup spoon serving and a mound of Chicken 65 with a large amount of rice this $19.95 platter could in my mind feed 3 for certain. We went at 11:30 am and found it was a perfect time as the Chicken 65 was very tender where depending when you go can be dryer. The Peshwari Naan with its dried fruit and nuts was a wonderful surprise . I think I would choose the bone in Chicken Masala in the future . For a group of 8 friends I ordered 4 Masala Dosas( large enough to share), 4 Punjabi Somosa (2) and Mango Lassi all around and were all satisfied with our early afternoon meal that was so reasonable. The Masala dosa comes with a container of delicious vegetable soup as well. I have given the okra dish a try twice and both times the okra was as if if they used dried okra, I will talk to someone again about this as I like okra and won't give up.

From filling water glasses to clearing used plates to checking in us- various employees interacted with us with grace and professionalism.

Most dishes can be made with tofu, chicken, beef, shrimp or lamb. We jumped on some appetizers to start and they were all winners. Of the three-Chicken 65, garlic naan with roti sauce, and Paneer Pakora- I don't know that I could pick a favorite. They were tasty, freshly prepared and wonderfully presented. I chose chicken tikki masala as my entree and it was a home run. The boneless chicken was floating in a spicy tomato based sauce with a slight swirl of cream. I wanted a straw for every last drop. There were a couple of times during the meal when I got wonderful whiffs of the meat and other items being cooked. The charred, fired smell was enchanting. The place is located on the end a small strip of stores. There was plenty of parking. (I don't think I noticed what the other store fronts did next door). I have tried a couple of Indian restaurants in the greater East Cobb area and I will share this is at the top of my list. I loved it!
