This wasn't just a bad meal,it felt like a cultural letdown…read more We're visiting the area and trying to make some family memories. Ordered what we hoped would be a comforting, mildly spiced chicken biryani. What arrived was anything but. It was more like a confused pulao, frozen peas, capsicum, soggy rice, and even burned cashews tossed in like an afterthought. No aroma, no balance, no care. Just disappointment in a takeout container. This isn't about being harsh. It's about honesty. When a restaurant calls something biryani but serves this, it doesn't just miss the mark, it misrepresents the culture. Indian cuisine is rich, layered, soulful. This had none of that. Some people are fortunate to bring their food heritage to the U.S., but when you take shortcuts like this, you're not sharing the culture, you're flattening it. It was 9:40 PM. Dinner should be a time of calm and comfort, especially while traveling. Instead, we ended the day irritated, and after just a few bites, we had to toss the food and head to another restaurant. There are places that do justice to Indian food. Sadly, this wasn't one of them. No pride in the plate. No respect in the preparation. Just a careless dish that should've never left the kitchen.

There's so much to choose from and you can tell each dish is bringing a unique experience to your taste buds. The service is also very good.

Otherwise, I love the food and will continue to eat here!

My partner and I stopped in around lunch for a cocktail and a quick bite, settling in at the bar…read more The space is visually striking; large, expressive portraits hang on the walls, colorful throw pillows line the banquettes, and shelves of labeled spice jars sit in the corner like a little apothecary. The bar itself is dramatic, a wall of bottles backed by bold red shelves. It all adds up to a room that feels like someone put real thought into every corner. We ordered the Ginger Turmeric Martini, which is made with Citron Vodka on the menu but we swapped in ISCO Gin; a substitution the bartender handled without hesitation. He mentioned he adds a tiny pinch of salt to some cocktails to brighten them up, a small detail, but the kind that tells you they actually think about what they're making. The drinks were served in cut crystal coupe glasses with a small edible flower floating on top, and they tasted as good as they looked. For food, we went with the Chili Cauliflower and the Dal Makhani. The cauliflower came out crispy in all the right ways, each floret holding its texture under a sticky, lightly sweet heat with a bit of tamarind that shines right through; tangy, a little smoky, deeply savory. The Dal Makhani was exceptional. The lentils were cooked with real intention, not reduced to mush but offering just a slight pop, and the overall flavor was rich and complex in a way that made it hard to put the naan down. Speaking of which, the garlic naan (sans cilantro, seeing as my partner has the gene where it tastes like soap) arrives charred and pillowy in equal measure, loaded with bits of fresh garlic. The service matched everything else. We were greeted warmly, and the staff genuinely seemed interested in getting to know us rather than just moving us through. That kind of rapport is rare and, when you find it, you notice. A spot we love to visit whenever we are in the area, and for good reason.

It's a local Indian restaurant located in pawtucket area. Parking lot available in the plaza. It was busy but we were able to sit down at the counter. Inside is small but has some seatings and bar available. We ordered mango lassi, pepper chicken tikka, garlic and cilantro naan, cauliflower 56, and chicken lababnar. Mango lassi is delicious as expected. Appetizers were excellent including tender pepper chicken tikka and flavorful cauliflower 56. Garlic and cilantro naan is chewy and tasty. Chicken lababnar was bit different than chicken tikka masala i'm used to. Its creamy and tomato base like tikka masala but didn't have the deep flavor that most tikka masala have. Service was good but my utensil was dirty. Waiter did quickly changed them for me though. Overall, food is good. Appetizers were excellent. Service is ok. Price is reasonable for Indian food. Not bad Indian restaurant in the area.
