Ordered takeaway from here for the first time. Hubby and I ordered the vegetable samosas, peshwari naan, chicken tikka, and aloo palak. Total came out around $45.
What's Hot
- Quality. Absolutely delish! Their samosas were wonderfully spiced and flavored. There was even a slightly spicy kick to it. The aloo palak had good chunks of potatoes and a fair amount of potatoes, too. Hubby's chicken tikka was tender and flavorful. The peshwari naan had that sweet kick to it, which is what it's supposed to have. All the food turned out as described and ordered. This is probably one of the best Indian restaurants we've been to.
- Menu variety. Something for everyone. Vegans, vegetarians, meats, seafood, (nonalcoholic) drinks, and desserts. Excellent variety and I saw some dishes that I don't normally see at other Indian restaurants, which I appreciate.
- Prices. They also included free papadams with dipping sauces in the takeaway order, which we appreciated and enjoyed! Very good value for money, especially for flavor and portions.
- Portions. Each samosa was about the size of my fist, which was good- not too big and not too small. Definitely good size portions and enough to make you full. After 1 samosa, 1 naan, and my aloo palak with basmati rice, I was stuffed! I also didn't finish my aloo palak. There was enough rice and curry left over, which I will thoroughly enjoy. The naan bread is a pretty big size and there are 2-3 pieces of naan in the order. The chicken tikka came in it's own juices with some onions and curry, which hubby enjoyed and finished. He was full and satisfied, which says a great deal.
- Service. Timely and no fuss. Hubby and I ordered via Grub Hub. Our food was made timely and ready without delay. When we arrived to pick up our food, there were 2 orders with the same name. When hubby asked the front desk which one was his, they asked him whether it had been paid or not. When my husband said it had, they knew exactly which order was our's. As mentioned previously, we specifically added in our order to make our food spicy, which we got. They're on top of their game!
- Packaging. All their packaging were recyclable plastics, with a few items (papadam and naan) wrapped in aluminum. During this time of the pandemic, when hubby and I are ordering takeaway 99% of the time, we appreciate restaurants that use recyclable materials and sustainable packaging.
What's Not
- Spice level. My husband has a very high spice tolerance. We specifically noted in our order to make our food spicy. It was definitely adequately spicy for me. I could still taste the food, but the spice level was there. Towards the end of the meal, I teared up a bit, which isn't easy. Haha... Hubby definitely tasted the spiciness, although it wasn't spicy enough for him. Compared to another Indian restaurant in Lexington, my husband prefers the spice level at this place, which says something.
Final Answer
Great Indian restaurant in the area. Definitely plan on returning. read more
