This is a takeout only, no dine in, kitchen. The order time was a little delayed, but the food was…read moretruly delicious. The tikka masala is perfectly serviceable, and the mild is safe enough for the kiddos to eat. However the indo-chinese options especially the Hakka noodles were a standout ! Perfectly spiced, lovely crispy chicken, I ordered it thinking it would be a good kid option (definitely not on that aspect), but started personally salivating as soon as I cracked the lid, and the flavors did NOT disappoint. It's a dish I wasn't expecting and would not have initially sought out, but one I will be going back to again and again. The Hyderabadi chicken was also lovely, very aromatic with a good heat, not heavily salted as a lot of other nearby options tend to trend. Cannot wait to explore their other options, and hope this test kitchen becomes a real dine in restaurant someday!

I have no idea what they are doing with it but it's hot (spicy) and absolutely full of flavor. It is so good.... I crave it all the time and it is a delight when I get to order it. I love potatoes and the spicy pickle, and they have married these both in a dish that is beyond description. This restaurant has mastered the art of spice. The food is so good... even something so simple as papadum they make excellent. Dedham is very lucky to have them!!!

I placed an online order through Toast for pickup, so I could drive there and it would be ready. I got the Navratan Korma ($18.75 plus tax) with rice and Aloo Parantha ($5.25 plus tax). The order was being packed and bagged as I arrived. I enjoyed the food nearby, still very hot. The Navaratan Korma was a good portion with a mix of vegetables (zucchini, carrots, green beans), tofu, spices in a savory and spicy cream sauce. The rice was soft and not sticky. The Aloo Parantha was a soft baked naan filled with soft potato spread, great for dipping in the korma. I would definitely stop by again to try other offerings like their curries and masala dishes.

Once we were seated, we were able to look through their expansive menu. They have a lot of great Indian dishes, many of which I was familiar with, and others I was not familiar with, which was actually kind of nice. I decided on the Andhra chicken, which was a new dish I've never tried. The chicken comes with a spicy curry sauce that isn't too hot, but that has enough heat to keep the dish interesting. Of course, with many Indian dishes, it also came with a large side of rice, and was more than enough to fill me up for a single meal. Overall, the meal was a great, as was most of the experience. The only downside was that our waiter never really actually spoke to us. While he would stop by frequently to refill water and remove plates/silverware, he never said anything. I wasn't entirely sure if it was just his personality or if there was perhaps a language barrier that may have existed, but either way, the experience was all around pleasant with the exception of that.

They've been around since January and I talked to Harry, who was a friendly employee working the front of the store, who helped me pick my lunch, as I'm pretty new to Indian cuisine. I got the lamb masala lunch special and it was tasty and flavorful. They came with 3 complimentary sauces, tamarind and a chutney and 1 more I'm not sure of. The portion of meat was on the small side but very tasty. My one issue was I asked for medium spice; it was extremely fire hot spicy and I'm a pro. I can't imagine what that next level up tastes like but I'm scared. Be wary that most people should start on the lowest spice level. I also got the Paneer Naan and veggie Korma. The store was small and had a waiting area with a few chairs, a kiosk to order and a bar style table to eat in if you're solo or a party of 2, but it's clearly intended as a takeout restaurant. Prices were moderate and on par for Needham. I will definitely be back and I'm looking forward to trying more menu items, especially the Biryani.

The menu is huge, which is good in that there is something for everyone, but it is also very overwhelming. We were hoping they would have a physical menu in store, but they handed us an iPad to look through the menu. Luckily it is divided by meat and non-meat dishes, rice, bread, etc., which makes it a little easier to browse. We ordered one of the goat curries, samosas, and garlic naan. The goat came in a 6 inch plastic container and though it looked small, it brings a lot of food - enough for 2. The goat was very tender, with lots of flavor, and not too spicy (you can request your preferred spice level). The samosa order came with 3 and they were good - crispy on the owtside and packed with soft filling on the inside. The naan was also good. I believe it was around $35-$40 for the order, which after considering portion size and quality, we found it to be fair. The inside is very spacious with lots of booths. There are lots of Indian historical figures drawn on the walls. There is also plenty of parking since it is in a plaza. The staff was kind and helpful.
