I ordered takeout from here a week ago after an extremely exhausting day at work! I had seen a…read morevideo online of someone eating Indian food and knew that's what I was craving for dinner that night. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and garlic naan. That's the most basic order for non-Desi individuals, but I know what I like! I actually really wanted butter chicken, but I didn't see it as an option so I settled for the tikka masala. Here's the thing...I loved the sauce on top of the rice and scooped with garlic naan. The chicken itself feels dry even considering that it's soaked in sauce. I'm not sure if it was cooked separately, or if it just had been sitting for a while, but the texture of the chicken was not my favorite. Admittedly, I am pretty picky about chicken. However, it's still something that didn't "wow" me. I was lucky enough that my fiance picked up the food, so I didn't get to see how the restaurant was or what the ambiance is. He said the service was friendly and that it was ready at the time they said it would be. So, yes it was good, but it didn't blow my mind the way I am waiting for an Indian restaurant to do.

If you are reading reviews, ignore older ones as they may apply to an earlier restaurant. I ordered take-out using an online app. Ordering was easy and the food was ready when I arrived. We started with the appetizer platter. Some were better than others, but the point of getting the platter was to see what we liked best. We shared a lamb with chickpea dinner and liked it very much. It came with rice and bread and 3 small portions of toppings. I also ordered the raita and a second kind of bread. One bread would have sufficed. We had a little of everything left over for lunch another day. We'll order from here again.

I decided to try something new and ordered the Saag Bhartha which is eggplant in the familiar spinach sauce. The eggplant is cooked down so the dish is creamy and rich; it was very flavorful and a spice level of 3 was perfect for me. It had some heat but didn't result in a burning mouth. The garlic naan was delicious and the basmati rice that came with the entree was perfectly cooked. The serving size was very generous and I enjoyed the leftovers for dinner the next night. I definitely want to try more items on their menu and see some takeout orders in my future. Service was good, and the atmosphere was quiet and perfect for catching up with a friend.

Everything I ate at India Hut was fantastic, and the great service made the experience even better. I'd highly recommend India Hut to anyone looking for a great Indian meal!

When we arrived no one was there to greet us; we found the owner by popping our head in the kitchen. He was super nice and explained he was short staffed today but led us to a table and got waters for us. We were 2 adults, one teen, and one kid who eats very little. We ordered 4 breads... garlic naan, house special paratha, aloo paratha, and keema paratha. These were all so fresh and flavorful, and great portion sizes especially on the stuffed ones for the price! You could make a meal of these alone. We ordered tikka masala, rice, and the owner suggested coconut curry which wasn't listed on our menus but was excellent. The tikka masala was rich and buttery and perfect. We loved all the food and had leftovers of everything. We will definitely be back!

Food: I could've gone spicier but the mild dishes still packed the flavor you'd expect of Indian cuisine. The Gohbi Manchurian was a great appetizer that you couldn't stop eating even when it started to fill you up. The non-vegetarian Thali was also a great way to taste a variety of dishes. My only wish would be to have different curry bases for the lamb, chicken and daal. Service: The waiter gave great recommendations and helped us have a pleasure meal with attentive but non-disruptive check ins. Atmosphere: The decor and lighting makes things cozy, but it was pretty standard for an Indian restaurant.

Great Service, but Extremely Disappointing Food…read more I decided to give Saffron a try today after seeing so many positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience fell well short of expectations. We ordered several dishes, starting with the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was incredibly underwhelming. It lacked spice and flavor, which was disappointing considering how rich and flavorful this dish typically is. We also ordered the Chicken 65, and unfortunately, that was another miss. The taste was unpleasant, and neither dish left us wanting another bite. To make matters worse, we discovered a long strand of hair in our garlic naan, which was honestly pretty off-putting. We also ordered papadum that never made it to our table. Thankfully, we weren't charged for it, but it was still another oversight during an already disappointing dining experience. I do want to give credit where it's due: the customer service was good, and I appreciated that. However, good service can only go so far when the quality of the food doesn't match. I really wanted to enjoy this restaurant, especially given its glowing reviews, but between the lackluster flavors, missing appetizer, and hair in our naan, I can't say I'll be returning. Unfortunately, this one was a miss for me.

I was hungry for curry. I don't know anywhere that curry is served in "fancy dishware" prepared while I watch the kitchen. My husband ordered 1/2 chicken with spices, and we ordered Naan. All were delicious. From the first time (January 2025) we entered the restaurant we interacted with the owner/manager. This has not changed. However, last night I felt concern for the restaurant. Even with all the 69/37/465 re-routing, this restaurant is off the "beaten path" Every day they offer an all you can eat buffet and say it is profitable. However, without dinner traffic, I worry that they will not be successful in the future. There was one other couple besides us and people came in for carry out. Maybe it is the heat, hot dogs and hamburgers or people have forgotten this gem. My husband and I haven't. Will we go back, you betcha.
