The momos were the perfect start, fresh, flavorful, and a great way to kick off the meal. The paneer butter masala and malai kofta were rich and perfectly cooked, while the aloo saag and dal tadka brought a comforting and authentic touch. The Blue Lagoon was refreshing and paired perfectly with everything, and the desserts truly stood out. The rasmalai brûlée and gulab jamun were the perfect way to end the experience. From the food to the presentation to the overall vibe, everything felt thoughtfully done. This is the kind of place you come back to and bring others with you.

We discovered Mrs Kumar before it expanded and love the food. We visited Thumkaa which had its own vibes and while driving along 33E we kept passing Chozhas and decided we would visit on Valentine's day for Dinner. Clearly this restaurant does a booming business with its buffet and no difference on Valentines where an a la Carte menu was offered but there was such a crowd earlier that food and staff were exhausted. Fortunately we had Deepthi who despite being on her feet for hours made sure we were aware that the palak chat which was supposed to be out came back on the menu . Also giving us great advice on the quantity of food to order. She was excellent. Now to the food which was "good"...but not anything special. The appetizes Palak Chat and Lasuni Jhinga Shrimp were better than the main course of dal fry, goat rogan ghosh (nice having bones but not much meat). Rice came with garlic naan and the rice keer was served too hot as they ran out for lunch and had to make fresh. Now the decorations were really nicely laid out for Valentines and made it feel special. As we were leaving it was crowded. Clearly this place has a following and we were told the weekend buffet is what everyone comes for. We will try the buffet one weekend to see how the food is and hope that it really is exceptional and better than the a la carte. Again staff were great given how hard they were working and kudos to Deepthi.

We had about 16 people for a semi-private gathering, and the setup worked perfectly. Huge thanks to Siya, who helped plan everything and made the process easy. The co-owner Sunil checked in to make sure everything was running on time, which I really appreciated. Service was on point--Tony helped us get started, and Roleen made sure everything kept flowing smoothly. Food-wise, everything delivered. The buffet was fresh and flavorful, and we added tandoori shrimp and lamb chops à la carte--both were excellent. Kudos to Chef and owner Ruby Bhalla The place has a fun, upscale NYC vibe, especially on nights with live music. Also appreciated the thoughtful birthday wishes from the team--it made the night feel even more special. Definitely a go-to spot for celebrations.

It was meh- not awful, just not really really good. I asked for South Indian and received the usual sambar, rasam, (both were unbalanced with same exact flavor profile too much coriander) and that was the end of the South Indian meal- Tarka dal, which is always a favorite but nothing out of the ordinary, potatoes and paneer tikka. The second rice didn't taste like tamarind rice which is my favorite- but I suppose was some kind of biryani. It all was ok but don't think I'll come again- I wanted authentic South Indian flavor- and just maybe was served a gringo meal instead. .

A weekday visit turned out to be an excellent tactical decision - no crowds, swift service, and…read morezero chaos. The chaos, however, was entirely self-inflicted: eight opinionated adults staring at a menu where everything looked good is a recipe for collective disaster. Our server, bless him, stepped in like a professional mediator and steered us toward some solid choices. The food arrived hot and largely delivered on its promise. Largely. The Poori Aloo, while perfectly edible, lacked a certain - as our Punjabi taste buds put it, rather bluntly: the oomph. The Amritsari Kulcha, meanwhile, seems to have had a bit of an identity crisis - it showed up tasting like an Aloo Parantha. For anyone who's had the real deal in Amritsar, this one may prompt a moment of reflection. Everything else, however, was genuinely enjoyable and the menu is a vegetarian's dream come true. Minor culinary debates aside, it's absolutely worth a visit.

We tried the Fish Moilee, Kochi Special Chicken Curry, Malabar Paratha, Appam, Vellayappam, and Ada Payasam--everything was outstanding.

The server told us that they were not serving any South Indian dishes because the kitchen was busy with catering orders. This was on Oct 25th around noon. I know I'm a bit late posting this review, but the situation felt quite unreasonable. The food we did order tasted good, but our choices were very limited, and we were essentially forced to pick from what was available rather than what we actually wanted to eat.

I came here with my parents for lunch, and was surprised to see the place practically completely empty when I went in. I guess it's not very popular yet, or perhaps just in a location people don't often visit? Either way, the food and service was quite good overall. I loved the laccha paratha and the butter chicken was good too. I tried a bit of the korma and palak paneer as well, all classics and all very well done. I particularly liked that the gravies were not as creamy as some other places that really overdo it. My one suggestion revolves around the big TV in the middle of the dining room. That thing plays cringey ads every 5 minutes or so, which creates an awkward atmosphere in the restaurant. You guys can afford to pay for ad-free YouTube so your guests don't have to listen to that crap lol, it should be like $10 per month. Little things like that can make people think you lack attention to detail or care for your customer experience, so just clean all that up and you will be fine because the food is good. Overall, good tasty food, if you fix the constant YouTube ads you will be 5 star worthy.
