The ambience is nice and in great condition, especially outside. The owner made perfect outside-seating in a warm and quiet inner courtyard. I especially recommend the dishes from the tandoor oven (from lamb) and all his home-made spices to dip. You will never regret visiting him, for a quick lunch or for a dinner with several courses.

I was…read morehesitant because there were no yelp reviews but I thought I'd give it a shot for convenience's sake. Gilbert, an employee quickly introduced himself and said that the restaurant is only one month old. That explains the lack of reviews. The atmosphere is calm and luxurious. The chairs are lush and it feels like a high class restaurant which, luckily, the prices do not reflect. I ordered a caiprihana, a traditional Brazilian drink to start off. I know, weird for an Indian restaurant but it is my favorite drink and they made it perfectly! I ordered two entrees so I could try their tandoori speciality and my favorite chicken tikka Masala. The lamb was out of this world. Perfectly cooked. So tender. This was the meal I was waiting for. For lunch I had gone to a touristy German place and got lamb that was just so disappointing. The lamb here melted in my mouth and had just the right seasoning that you look for in Indian cuisine. The chicken tikka masala was everything I wanted it to be. On top of the amazing food, service was on point. Gilbert took great care of me and even gave me a free schnapps to wrap up my meal! I will be back for sure. If you are in Heidelberg, skip the expensive tourist restaurants and head over here.

The food has really good flavor and has more love put into it, and doesn't have that bland, cheap curry flavor to it. I only wish that they were open a bit later and served certain items everyday.

The portion were not what I used to in US especially for the price. The services were outstanding as I went with a co-worker originally from India. The part I was confused about was lamb curry which was typically I order from Indian place. I like meat with bones and like Tikka masala. However they were telling me there are meat with bones but those are for grill only. Anyway, lamb meat was good but curry sauce was awesome. Other dishes were great especially prawn curry. And both garlic and butter naan were super tasty. Really loved dessert - Frini. Overall a nice place for Indian food.

The sauces were delicious, the chicken cooked perfectly, and the rice just perfectly proportioned to balance the bit of kick in the sauce. We got our food quickly, but that might be because we went after 2130; lunch might be busier and therefore have a longer wait. I think it's worth the wait. The lady behind the counter was friendly and professional. Will definitely come back next time we're in town.
