The level of spice from mild to spicy was on point for all of us as well. Although we might've irritated our server a little bit as we kept switching up on the drinks? But she was a champ and brought out the correct drinks anyways. But I totally forgot to take pictures as we were too busy talking and enjoying the meal. Definitely will be back, especially with a European food store right next to the restaurant.

I don't remember the name of the one I went with, but I know you could pick up spice level from 1 to 6. I picked four and it wasn't that spicy for me. It was a healthy portion of chickens and vegetables cooked perfectly and a huge side of white. I'm going to assume basmati rice. It was $24 but it was enough for a meal and a half - ish (more if you eat all the rice) I just wish they served some type of bread along with the meal no extra charge

My first time trying this place and so happy I did…read more I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala to go and was impressed by how friendly the staff was. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. I got my piping hot food home and was knocked out by how great it smelled. Rich color, nice flavor and a solid portion. The chicken was still moist and juicy, the sauce was very rich and flavorful. I ordered medium heat, but there was zero spice. Not a bad thing, I still enjoyed it. Rice was included, which is a plus. There was enough food here for two big, full bowls. I'll definitely eat here again.

I didn't care for the chaat but chilli chicken was good. It was a bit more spicy than usual so keep that in mind if you don't eat spicy. Then we ordered their daal makhani, spice special chicken curry, Bhindi masala and chicken Manchurian. Bhindi wasn't very fresh. It was hard to chew at times. Daal makhani was super spicy. Indian spicy at level 7 was a bit too spicy. I only liked their spice special chicken curry the most. Then for dessert, we got the Gulab Jamun and ras malai. Overall I have had better India food. This place was good but not the best. Food photos are below.

Pros: -consistently get food I expect -naan and other breads are done well -gobi Manchurian is fantastic -meat typically not overcooked, which I find is a common issue with any stewed dish Cons: -expensive (though to be fair, who isn't overpriced these days?) -some bland dishes (korma and maybe one other I have tried but can't remember what dish) -charge for chutneys -no cold onion chutney For the last two things, it is commonplace in the northeast for Indian restaurants to include at least 3 chutneys - tamarind, mint and onion. It's a bit dark inside with more traditional Indian vibes. I'm sure dining in is fine, they are typically cordial and accommodating when I pickup my food.

The servings are very gracious that you most likely will take some to go. Oh, and just be sure to address the server about the spice level as a medium can be a bit too hot for some. At a mild spicy as a start would be ideal and you work your tolerance along the next visit, so that you can enjoy your meal :)

I love a good Indian restaurant and this is definitely one of my favorites…read more Food--9.9/10. OK I know this is a silly rating but hang in with me here. I'm a white woman married to a Indian man and I love Indian food. I cook it quite well so when I eat out for Indian food, I have very high expectations. Ironically, I have a much higher spice tolerance than my husband. But whenever he orders and ask for medium spice, it's exactly right. But whenever I order and ask for a medium spice it's nowhere near spicy enough. I don't know if that is just because I sound like I can't handle my spice, but it happens every single time. But getting onto the actual taste and quality of the food. Their Panera biryani is one of my favorites, though I do like their veg biryani more my husband first appear so we usually settle for paneer. It is perfectly cooked so fluffy and delightful and oh my goodness is it abundant. One $15 container will make at least four meals. My husband and I will get one box and share it for lunch or dinner and then put it away because it will be another lunch or dinner later. And it's not like we eat a little we eat a full plate and this box is stuffed to the brim. Service--8/10. My only complaint here is regarding service. It can take a while sometimes to pick up your order, especially when they first open. And I'm not saying it takes time for it to be available because I will often arrive and see it sitting on the shelf, but no one is at the front counter to check me out. I have honestly never dined in at this location so I can only address the service in the aspect of takeout orders. Atmosphere--10/10. It is a very centralized location and a nice strip mall with accessible parking and ample at that. The interior is quite nice and what you'd expect in an Indian restaurant with beautiful cultural pieces around the interior. So if you are looking for a place to eat in this would definitely be atmospherically a nice place.

The uttapam, a pancake with onion and herbs, was my favorite dish - absolutely delicious. The lamb was really well cooked and not too heavy on the spices. The bite of my wife's burger was excellent: juicy, flavorful, and really great bread. The fries with the burger were a little too heavily seasoned for me, but someone who really loves Indian spices might not feel the same way. Drinks were excellent. Service was very attentive and friendly. Ambience is pleasant, although a little drab. Cost is pricey, but reasonable for what you are getting.
