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.

Pretty decent place for Indian food. The decoration at the restaurant is really nice and very…read moreindian. Price was very high end as well. 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.

I decided to get it to go even though there were tables, which may have recently changed as several reviews mentioned there were none. There was a very good selection of dishes, vegetarian, meat, and seafood, all available in large or small. There were also a large number of appetizer and dessert choices. Everything was very reasonably priced. I had a small order (plenty of food, even for an American like me) of Lamb Korma which was among the most expensive and it was only 5 euros. My lamb was cooked very well and tender. The sauce was also very good and flavorful. As mentioned, even the small was a big portion. I wish it were a little spicier, though I realize that spicy food is very uncommon in Germany. I have a feeling if I had asked, they would make it spicier for me though. The service was good, I had no problems. Even when I got confused and had to switch to English, they were friendly and helpful.
