    Honest is the Indian restaurant. The dabang dosa and paneer butter is a must try! Service is great and clean establishment too!

    Went for lunch -- swanky ambience, full stocked bar. Many of the interesting vegan fusion things I…read morewas drawn to the restaurant for were not available, but our server talked at length to the chefs and came up with some good choices. Ended up getting the Phool Makhana Bhel (roasted lotus seeds) as a crunchy, mildly spicy appetizer, which was delicious, and a generous portion. (Deeply flavorful spices, wonderful crunch.) Went with the dal (yellow lentil soup) and ghee-free crispy methi roti (fenugreek leaf spiced flatbread) for my main -- both were deeply satisfying and powerfully flavorful, as well as very filling. My friend's goat biryani was apparently terrific (according to her); we ate a pile of food, but still ended up taking containers home. For the record: medium spice was juuuuuuuust right -- didn't make the eyes water, but had a mild bit of a bite. Super interesting menu, even for vegans! Will have to try dinner here in future.

    Golgappe shots: 9.5/10 -- really enjoyed this flight of different tastes. I would recommend this…read morefor 2 people to share (order more if you're a larger group that wants to try each flavor) bc they served 2 shots of each. interestingly~~ for $10 you can add vodka to your flight. I opted to enjoy mine the traditional way but it sounds like a fun option for vodka enjoyers! Butter chicken: 6/10 -- a little low for ME personally. Not trying to hate! I have had a fair share of delicious butter chicken and this was not as good as some of the others I have tried. It was just too sweet for my liking, although we did order a medium spice level. I think that anyone who did not grow up eating indian food would enjoy this very much so don't let my scale influence you on this specific dish. Cumin rice comes with the butter chicken! Garlic naan: 10/10 -- perfectly garlicky! flaky, buttery, and delicious!! Plenty of parking is available in the lot out front. When I went, the lounge/bar side of the space was still under construction but it should be open now! I need to revisit to check out some of the snack/drink options. Service was non existent so don't expect much there but it was not bad since we were just a table of 2.

The interior was surprisingly large and nice (table cloths, flowers, glasswear.) The Bollywood (rap/rock) music videos on the TVs seemed a little out of sorts with the nicer ambiance, but it was easy to ignore the TVs. Service was extremely pleasant & efficient. We had the samosa appetizer, garlic naan, hubs had the chicken tikka and I had the tandoori veg momos. Aromas & flavors on everything was very nice. They also have a $16.99 lunch buffet that we are eager to come back & try. #yum #ReviewsByRL

    Incredibly disappointed. We've been several times for both sit down meals and takeout and had great…read morefood and service (aside from that one time they served us moldy cake from the pastry case) but we will not be back after what happened last week. I ordered takeout and when I got home I saw that the "steamed" momos were burnt to a crisp and dried out. I also ordered masala noodles and it was literally just spaghetti with a sweet tomato sauce. Absolutely no masala flavor, and the fact that they used regular spaghetti noodles was baffling and unappetizing. I called the restaurant and the person on the phone said "yeah there is a problem with the steamer, we will replace them". I asked why they would look at this burnt appetizer and still send it, because that feels super dishonest- they knew it was inedible but because it was a takeout order, they decided to serve it anyways. He couldn't answer that. They told me to bring the momos back and they'd replace them. I said no, I've just worked 13 hours and will not be driving another 20 minutes to go back to their restaurant. I'd like a refund. He said that's not possible and offered to give me a free meal next time we came in. I said there will not be a next time as their dishonesty was seriously off-putting and I'd like a refund and again he said that's not possible. I'm attaching their advertised photos of the 2 dishes I ordered and also pictures of what they served me.

    So, I am brand new to Indian food. A friend recommended this spot, and I went with their go-to…read moreorder: chicken tikka masala and garlic naan bread. Let me just say, from the very start this place blew me away. From the first phone call, the customer service was outstanding. The gentleman I spoke with was so kind and patient with me, especially since I didn't really know what I wanted. He made recommendations, and I felt totally confident in my order. When I went to pick it up, the interaction was fantastic again. Now, I'll be honest--the exterior might not grab your attention right away. But do not let that stop you, because the food here is absolutely amazing. The rice? Fluffy, soft, almost silky. Cooked perfectly. The chicken tikka masala? Wow. I ordered it medium heat (about a 3 out of 5), and it was spot on. Nothing overwhelming at first, just the perfect little kick at the end. The flavor was rich, balanced, and so satisfying. Pair that with the garlic naan, and it's like they were made for each other. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes. I noticed they also offer a lunch buffet, which looks like it could be awesome--such a great way to sample everything and really discover what you love. 10/10 recommend. If you've never tried Indian food (like me), this is the perfect place to start.

    I've been eating here for years even through all the name changes. I used to love their Butter…read moreChicken/Chicken Makhani and their Raita, but today, the only decent thing was the rice & naan. Idk if the ambiance has ever been great here as its inside is not pretty & the bathroom is very gross & never clean. The 2 orders of Chicken Makhani I received today tasted so strongly of WAY too much ghee to where I couldn't even taste anything else. It was lacking proper flavor & the chicken was very, very dry and tasted old. Super disappointing. I send people to this place allllll the time, but not anymore. The raita was the absolute worst part of my meal. I paid $5 extra for 2 things of raita & had to throw both away because they were SO bad! I don't know why, but it was so excessively full of black pepper that I honestly almost puked. Not only that, it tasted very, VERY strongly of green pepper. Raita is NEVER supposed to have green pepper & I honestly couldn't tell if that was the issue or if it was actually expired/rotten. I was super excited for this food & it was so incredibly disappointing especially because it wasn't cheap...huge decline in food quality & definitely not worth the price.

We ordered our food at the counter and the woman taking our order was friendly. As we waited, though, things kind of went downhill. The menu is on three TV screens above the register, and she turned them off, which seemed weird. She brought out my boyfriend's shake, way before the food. It was honestly more of a mediocre chocolate milk. The wraps were ok, I got the tika masala one, my boyfriend got the chicken wrap. He didn't really enjoy his and didn't finish it all. The wraps came with fries that were dry and rather cold. I had ordered a strawberry refresher to drink and they took a weirdly long time to bring it out after the food. We thought they had forgotten about it, but when we asked we were told it would be out soon, then we continued to wait a while. Overall not a great experience, and they seem to be not doing great if she's saving electricity by turning their menu off between customers. One other couple came in to order towards the end of our visit, and we were there for a while. Sadly disappointed.
