We had the butter chicken, shrimp biryani, and fish, curry, and all three dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, well balanced, and each dish stood out in its own way. The ambience is elegant and welcoming, making it a great spot for both casual lunch and a nicer dining experience. The service was excellent and attentive without being intrusive. One unique feature that I loved, was the service cube at the table. You simply touch it to change the color depending on whether you need assistance or ready to pay the bill. It's a clever touch that makes dining even more convenient. Great food, great service and a beautiful atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back again.

However, the water tasted moldy/mildewy like their water filter hasn't been changed in over a year. Which if they're not changing their water filter every 3 months i'm concerned what else might be happening in the kitchen. The food was good, ordered butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. The sauce seemed thinner than most other indian places, but tasted good enough, but didn't redeem them from the moldy water.

Food was ready in 20 minutes, and the owners were beyond hospitable. We chatted for a bit, and they expressed how excited they were to see a new face.

The food was piping hot, delicious and now one of my favorite spots in the 559. Cannot recommend this place enough! Butter chicken, masala and naan all to die for! Support local!

I have eaten a lot of authentic Indian food and I didn't particularly get an authentic feel when eating from here. The food itself was good, just not amazing. And the garlic naan was just ok as well.

We usually get their lamb tikka and their butter chicken along some vegetable dish to round it out. Even if you eat all the protein the thick sauce should be saved. The dishes are flavorful and their spice levels are perfect. Mild is mild and spicy has the right amount of kick. Naan is pillowy, stretchy, and the char gives it a depth of flavor. Everyone we have introduced it to has said they cant get enough of it. There is something for everyone: fish, meat, veggies. I can't recommend this place enough. If you are reading this and are craving Indian food, this is the place!

This place is one of my favorite places in Fresno to grab Indian food. While the chefs in the back…read morealmost seem to be bothered by you when you order, their food is absolutely incredible, and it's worth getting the odd looks! This place is pretty much a hole in the wall, but it has enough space for about maybe forty people to dine comfortably. What they lack in space, they make up for in flavors. Everything that I've ever eaten here has been outstanding and wonderful! I personally think they have some of the best butter chicken in town. Their vegetable briyani is one of my go-to's and something that I constantly order. The naan is always fresh and flavorful and leaves me wishing that I ordered more. This is one of those rare places in Fresno that I have to say, if you haven't been, you absolutely need to go!

The folks who run this place seem to really care about the quality of the food and the experience the guests have. Unlike our first visit on Valentine's Day which was very busy, we came back on a weekend evening this fall, and there were only a couple other diners. It seems like "the new normal" is that most business for these mom-and-pop type restaurants appears to be by Doordash, Grubhub, UberEats -- even if they're making plenty of sales, very few people come in and sit down. It's odd. You can no longer judge how good a restaurant will be by how many people are seating having dinner on a Saturday night. But despite not very many people dining in, it's a comfortable, welcoming, clean space. Everything was still fresh, delicious, and very similar to last time, EXCEPT: The main update I wanted to give is that the little "glitches" I noticed when the place was brand new are all gone now. This is just as I expected, but I wanted to let Yelpers know this. So yes, this time the got everything we ordered, we got sauces with the appetizer, and we were given full-size dinner plates. Love those black lentils. Everyone: go eat them!

I was craving Indian food and decided to order through DoorDash, going with the butter chicken,…read moregarlic naan, and mango lassi. Overall, I had a good experience with the food, although some items stood out more than others. ** Butter Chicken - 8/10** The butter chicken was flavorful, creamy, and tender. What stood out to me was that the flavor tasted more authentic than some other places where the dishes lean toward a more Americanized version of Indian cuisine. The seasoning and overall flavor made this an enjoyable meal. While it wasn't the absolute best butter chicken I've had, I really appreciated the more authentic taste and would order it again whenever I'm craving Indian food. ** Garlic Naan - 9/10** The garlic naan was delicious, and the portion was generous. It was the perfect accompaniment to the butter chicken, and honestly, I could eat this all day! This was my favorite part of the meal, and I will absolutely be ordering it again. ** Mango Lassi - 4/10** Unfortunately, the mango lassi was a disappointment. It tasted unlike any mango lassi I've had before, and not in a good way. Instead of the familiar sweet, fruity mango flavor I was expecting, it tasted predominantly like yogurt or milk, with very little sweetness or noticeable mango flavor. It may appeal to someone who prefers a more subtle flavor, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I personally wouldn't order it again. ** Service & Overall Experience** The staff were friendly and made sure my order was prepared and delivered in a timely manner, with everything included. I always appreciate when a restaurant takes the time to ensure an order is complete, especially when ordering through a delivery service. As for the ambiance, I can only comment on what I've seen online since I haven't visited the restaurant in person yet. The dining area looks decent, but I would rather experience it firsthand before giving a fair assessment. I'm looking forward to visiting in person next time, as I imagine the overall dining experience could be even better. **Final Thoughts** Overall, this was a satisfying Indian food experience, with flavorful butter chicken and outstanding garlic naan. The mango lassi, however, fell short of my expectations. If you're looking for Indian food with a more authentic flavor profile, I'd recommend giving this place a try. I'm glad I discovered it through DoorDash, and I'm looking forward to visiting in person next time!

The ambiance here is super cute with plenty of seating inside and out. They also serve food, but I just wanted to try their chai today. They have different flavors to choose from including, rose, cardamom, paan, etc. They are also served in cute pottery cups, but be mindful they are super hot to touch for a few minutes in this type of cup. We ordered at the counter then took a seat. No one else was there, so our teas came out quickly. I got the rose, which was a tiny bit sweet but not too bad, and the rose flavor was very prominent. My other 2 friends got the cardamom without sweetener, but they thought it too bitter without the sweetener. My other friend got the chocolate chai without sweetener. She said it was fine, but she forgot to order hers with oat milk so she was slightly disappointed but her own fault. Overall, the cups are cute but it seemed to give off a weird flavor when sipping from this cup. I liked the rose and might want to go back and try another flavor for a final opinion, but if you like chai check it out! It's a super cute place with pleasant service.
