    Flavor is good the salt level is much too high. Food is good. Service blah- especially for how…read moreslow it is. Server just looked in my direction and kept moving - I definitely could have used a napkin or two. Portion sizes are good. Very nice ambiance- relaxing and inviting. Half the salt would have made this a 4.5/5.

    I stumbled upon this place last summer with a friend and we sat at the bar and just to head there…read morespicy cauliflower and the bartenders selection. Everything was fantastic. The last couple of times I've been was with my work group. We ordered several items for our table and then we also ordered entrées. Each time I visited this location everything is very nice and clean and the food as spicy as it is is very well seasoned and tasty. All of the sauces and curry creams were cooked to perfection hot in temperature not too hot to enjoy. Our servers were very kind and patient and courteous to us as we made our decisions. They also made perfect combination for our selections. And the best selections for drinks and desserts. Since then, I've even ordered on Uber eats and my food came just as perfect. This is a great go to place for good Indian food. If you're in the uptown area it's located below the Green parking lot, which is across from the Knight theater. It's just a good place even if you want a good drink at the bar. Enjoy!

    Was in the mood for Indian food. Since I've seen quite a few reviews on social media, my husband…read moreand I decided to try this place out. We started with an order on samosas which were really good and they had a nice kick. We did chicken biryani and the nalan special curry and naan bread. Everything was really good and packed with flavor. Will definitely return! Tara was our waitress a d was really nice!

    It's been awhile since we had Indian, so I made reservations for a Saturday night…read more.. Immediately, I liked how the place had a nice, comfy vibe with good A/C and great, relaxing overhead music. The hostess was also on top of things, in that she read the reservation notes, and led us to a choice seat by the wall. The waiter assigned to us was very attentive and courteous. So all around, I felt the ambiance and service was very good. Now the food! We decided to share everything and ordered various items: Garlic Naan, Pakora Brussels Sprouts, Chicken Biryani and Nalan Chicken Curry, which came with white rice. Of everything ordered, my favorite was the Biryani. First of all, the portion was HUGE...enough to feed 4. I liked the long grain rice, and the flavor was good. I was a bit puzzled by the presentation though. All the chicken was buried underneath. Also, way too much onion garnishing on top...which I didn't find appetizing or aesthetically pleasing either. Think I would have liked this better if some veggies were included (not just the onions...possibly my least favorite veggie?). This has been my running criticism with Indian foods... I appreciate the flavors, but I don't like how the tasty veggies are rarely included (or barely visible!) in the entrees. We both enjoyed the Garlic Naan (just wished there were a bit more?), and Brussels Sprouts had a good flavor, but the batter was so hard and thick, it was hard to eat (could barely use the fork for this). So frankly, I didn't love the texture of this fried veggie appetizer. As for the Chicken Curry, I just didn't love the flavor. It was very different though. In the past, I always opted for Chicken Tikala...and I definitely prefer the more buttery flavor of that over this special curry. Guess I liked some of the foods...but not all. Despite being underwhelmed with some of the foods, we still enjoyed the overall dining experience here...and would likely return. I think I'll be trying other items on the menu though.

    This place is a go-to MUST.. when you walk in you don't quite know what you're getting yourself…read moreinto but that's okay! You can taste-test any of the items before buying and trust me you will find something you'll end up loving !! I was helped by Rachel and she's not only a fantastic worker but a very genuine person with a great attitude!! I Recommend going for the all-in-one special which is 2 meats rice, & desert with bread. They also have free water if you aren't interested in their drinks on menu. This place is fantastic for lunch/dinner or just wanting to simply try something new but whatever you do stop by and give them a shot!

    I've been here several times and continue to enjoy the food. My favorite items are the Ghee rice,…read moreCashew chicken and Butter chicken. I also really enjoy the coconut drink. My dad likes the same but he prefers the coconut rice. I like how they allow you to sample the items on the line and even suggest combinations that you might enjoy. I also like how they have both non spicy and spicy items. The only thing that stands out as odd to me is my sister stopped by one day and picked up an order for me. She noticed a worker or someone associated with the restaurant come in and start eating off the hot food line. Not sure if they washed their hands or not but she was alarmed by this behavior.
