We got 3 curries (lamb madras, saag paneer and chicken tikka masala) and some rice (which is well seasoned on its own) and bread (Onion Kulcha and plain Naan).

It's one of the best versions I've had outside Kerala. The beef dishes are equally outstanding: tender, flavorful, and cooked just right with that unmistakable Malabar-style richness. Beyond the food, the hospitality really stands out. A big thank you to Philip for the warm welcome and excellent service! He made the experience even more memorable and personal. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving real Kerala cuisine. We'll definitely be back!

Manna Biryanizz came up and we were in the mood for some biryani and dosa :) We ordered a Chicken 65 biryani and a Mysore Masala Dosa to share. It was so good!

The dosa was also super crispy, delicious, and was delicious. I was able to go in and order pretty easily. There's some indoor and outdoor seating; we sat outside since we were traveling with our dog. A lot of the food is bussed on your own but the folks were very kind about handing my food to me outside so we can enjoy. Also, def get some of their chai! There's little cups where you can try some but you can also buy to-go containers if you need some more. Looking forward to coming back when we're in the area!

It is a completely different story! I ordered the Veg Dum Biryani and it was easily the best I've had in a couple of years. In this area, I've found that most vegetarian Biryanis have become very bland and repetitive, but this had a truly unique and fresh taste. Two things really stood out: 1. The Spice Level: It was perfectly balanced--flavorful without being overwhelming. 2. The Ingredients: Unlike many other spots that are mostly rice, this Biryani actually had a generous amount of vegetables in it. If you've been disappointed by bland Biryani lately, give this place a try. It's a fresh, high-quality addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommended!

We were curious to try this spot since it replaced the Chinese restaurant, and we're so glad we did! Our server, Harpreet, was fantastic.

We ordered the chicken biryani, garlic naan, and butter chicken-everything was delicious. The ambiance is clean, beautiful, and feels quite upscale. We can't wait to return and try more of the menu!

My family and I went to this restaurant last night. After looking at Google reviews, it got great…read moreratings. However, the experience was kind of cringe. The white staff was pretty good and decent. I felt like they were very polite and nice to us. And I have no complaints about that exactly. For the food, I would have to say it was about average, but still tasty. But then there were some things that just didn't seem right. While we were eating, there was an young Asian man sitting in a corner observing things. And then when the table behind us got up, he was very forceful with the other weight staff to clean it up. It just didn't sit right with me. And him standing around and observing a small dining room room like it was some kind of cafeteria that he had to be like a ruler. I was not liking it. Then when it came to pay the bill, we were asked abnormal questions. Like do you want to pay cash because you won't have to pay taxes on your meal. Or a pushing us to register our phone number or email so that we can earn points. And then after we paid, they gave us some kind of Google ratings tab. And I said I would do it but reality I don't want to give a review on Google. I think they knew something was up with us. Not sure. And I did not like the digital menu. It was very distant uninviting, and it didn't really connect for me to buy more. We ordered the butter chicken and some other curry. They were both tasty meals. We do appreciate it. But I feel this restaurant needs a an evaluation on how it connects with its customers and how it can recommend food as well as present an experience that is pleasant and people can sit down and enjoy. Like I said, it was really weird when I started noticing some young Asian man who just seemed like he was trying to be like a manager. Didn't fit and it irritated me and I will never go back. I've been to other Indian restaurants and I've had great experiences. I hope they can make adjustments. But it just seemed like business was kind of shady and ruined my experience.

What they could work on is the food quality and taste. None of the meat was tender enough to be eaten by the cutlery provided. *The goat dum hyderabadi biryani wasn't exactly authentic hyderabadi biryani either. Just a biryani overpowered by the masalas to hide the fact that the meat isn't properly cooked. *We also ordered the Hyderabadi Goat Masala curry which was decent but it had the same problem as the biryani. The meat wasn't done very well. *For sizzlers/Kababs we ordered the Murgh Tangdi. It came out sizzling which was appealing to the eye, but all the spices were not well cooked. We could taste the rawness of the uncooked spices on top of the chicken. What my take is that they rushed into making it and could have cooked for longer on low temp. All in all, i wouldn't come back again unfortunately but if the above mentioned problems were taken care of it's an amazing place to come for lunch/dinner!

Service was quick and place was clean. The only small downside was that in the thali, the quantity of dal and vegetables felt a bit less compared to the portion of rice. A slightly better balance would make it perfect. The best part is that it's completely vegetarian, which makes it even better for those looking for good veg options. Overall, a lovely experience -- will definitely recommend and visit again!
