We usually get the Dal Tarka, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Korma, along with Raita and Naan, and everything tastes amazing every time. What I love most is that even when they are super busy with takeout orders (which shows how popular it is!), there's often a quiet corner available if we plan for an early dinner. It's perfect for just relaxing and chatting. Seriously, if you like Indian food, or if you've never tried it, please check this place out! They have such fantastic vegetarian and vegan options too. You won't be disappointed--it makes a wonderful date night spot! Which o

This has become one of mine and my wife's favorite restaurants that we go to every time we visit the Richmond area. For appetizers, you have to try the Gobhi Manchurian.

They're all stellar, and really different than what other Indian places have.

The spicy was not as spicy as I thought it would be, but I think a lot of it was subdued by the mango and sweetness. It was an amazing flavor with sweet, savory. The Naan paired really well with the sauce. Staff was nice and helpful as they recommended to try this dish if I liked a butter chicken /tikki masala.

The paneer tikka was also good, spicy but with great flavor. We also ordered garlic naan and mutter paneer, which had good flavor.

Guests can choose their preferred protein, sauce, and spice level, as well as enjoy a selection of beer, wine, and Indian Sula wines. We visited during lunchtime and partook of their lunch specials, featuring generous portions and a decent variety. I enjoyed Goat Vindaloo while wife was milder with Seafood Korma. I asked for spicy and received their level 5 (1-5). It was good, flavors and seasoning were excellent, but for truly spicy you need to ask for "True Indian Level" they are used to a bunch of Americans with tender palates! The staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations, and although the place was busy, we never felt rushed. The restaurant's clean and inviting environment adds to the positive experience. We saw a few dishes that others had ordered from the regular menu, and they looked ample and generous. So, although it seems a little pricey, it is not a bad value.
