    Shrimp Big!
    Steve S.

    I liked this place very much. First the atmosphere was perfect with a screen playing Bollywood music and greeted with enthusiasm. I had the shrimp biryani and tandoori chicken. The shrimp in the biryani were large and delicious. Tandoori chicken was also very tasteful with the yogurt dipping sauce. This is very flavorful and spiced meal and the portions were very large. I highly recommend coming here. Place got packed after I got there.

    2025 August - closer look at lamb on lamb biryani

    Oof so spicy! What I got a couple of items! Gobi Manchurian - It was good, not the best. I think it was in Medium Spicy (which was very spicy to me), The batter was good and the cauliflower was crunchy (almost like chicken?). Truffle Dosa - I tasted the truffle oil fragrant in the dosa which was quite different that's why I got it. Though I feel the dipping sauces and the Indian spices drowns the truffle. Great concept though, but very conflicting on what I want - truffle fragrant or the Indian spices! Lamb Biryani - This was very spicy as well (though he suggested medium...I need baby spicy) - I thought the rice was good, but felt the meat was not fresh. Overall it was ok Environment This was located in the plaza on the end, close to the Homewood Suites. There is plenty of parking available, so not hard to find. The inside was pretty big, there is plenty of seating available from tables and also booths. Niceness of the staff SUPER SUPER nice staff! I was able to pick the seat (maybe it wasn't busy) and also the guy taking my order had patience. Dollar I thought was decently priced. The biryani was 20, truffle dosa 12, Manchurian around 12. the total was 40 something. Not bad Yes/No? I would return here if I was in the area. But would order other items to try it.

    Was pleasantly surprised to find this nice and new Indian eatery in Kalispell and this made my trip to the glacier national park awesome! We had a delicious brunch here on our way to the park and packed a lot of food for us to enjoy in the park and we again ate dinner and brunch on our way back from the park. What we loved the most: masala dosa was very good, chicken lollipops were juicy, spicy, finger licking delicious, rasmalai was the best rasmalai I have ever had in US, very authentic! and tandoori rotis were sooooo good, so authentic ! dal tadka was yummm (came with rice), chai, coffee (Bru, indian style) really refreshing and tasty. What could be better: Pani puri (khatta meetha pani could have been better), rose lassi (thin and lacking sourness of yogurt, tasted more like rose milk), Chicken biryani and dhaba chicken didn't quiet do it for us. Dhaba chicken seemed to have a coconut based gravy which was very different from my expectation and chicken biryani could have used more spices. Service was good, we got all our food served pretty quick, and the servers were very attentive and friendly and also packed our to go food really well for our long trip. Gave me an extra rasmalai as well .. I was sooo happy because I really loved it. Overall we really loved this place and the food and I will definitely eat here again when I visit kalispell again!

    My goat dish that was 1/3 bones.

    Short version: Americanized, watered down flavors, small portions, and high prices. Full version: I'm very excited whenever I get the chance to try new Indian restaurants. I'm a native Montanan, but I lived abroad in India for a short time, and my wife is also from India. I would really like to give a great review and had high hopes. But our experience tonight was disappointing. First, the prices are pretty high for Kalispell. Approximately $20 a plate or more for most things. That's fine, as long as the food is good and portions are large. Unfortunately, the food was pretty Americanized. The spices were watered down, things were overly creamy, and--a sure sign that things aren't authentic--everything was sweet. (This isn't supposed to be Thai curry, right?) The staff seemed very concerned about the spice level. Trust me, there's nothing to worry about here--it was not spicy at all (and we asked for spicy). The waitstaff also convinced me to go for goat (for an extra $2). I'm aware that Indians often serve goat meat with bones. But my meal was 1/3 bones. My wife also was served a very small amount of rice. Lastly, the atmosphere wasn't wonderful. They had a huge TV showing a sensually dressed DJ, and the techno music just really didn't fit the experience or the cuisine. (I wouldn't want my kids watching what was on that screen.) If you like food that is more Americanized, you may think this place is great. I do hope they succeed. But I feel they have a lot of work to do. Make it Indian. Make the portion sizes right. Make the atmosphere match. Make it worth the high prices.

    Excellent Curry.

    Well it's a long time waiting, all I have to say this is a must try. Excellent service, very attentive and the food is excellent. Overall excellent food and great service.

    Chicken tikka masala
    Brett K.

    Great new place in Kalispell!! Chef Kumar is amazing! Literally the best chicken tikka masala I've ever had! Very friendly staff, the waiter recommended the mango chicken, it was delicious!

    Leftovers!

    Fast service, rich flavors, and an impressive range of options make this Indian cuisine spot a standout. Every dish was packed with authentic taste, and the menu had something for everyone. Highly recommend for a quick yet satisfying meal. Dishes: chicken tikka, butter chicken, garlic naan, onion pakora

(I had been here once last summer and it tasted very good.) This was not at all what we hoped for. The worst part was the food. I ordered pad thai and my wife ordered the red curry. I ordered a spice level 10 (hottest), and my wife ordered a level 8. Our food was at a spice level 2--almost no heat. My kids could easily handle the spice level. And the flavors were pathetically bland. With our experience in Thailand, we can confidently say the food is just sub-par. I wanted to at least request some salt (or some fish sauce and a spice tray like most Thai restaurants have), but no one ever came back to check on us. This brings me to the second worst part of the evening. The waitstaff showed very little enthusiasm. They took our order and dropped off the food. That was it. There were only three other customers in the restaurant. Even though we had disappointment with the food, there was nobody we could voice our concerns to. Another annoying factor was that, they had 80s hairband rock music pumped up pretty loud. It is just not conducive to enjoying your time. We didn't stay to finish our meal because the whole experience was so disappointing. Since the weight staff never came back to our table, I had to go upfront finally and ask for the check so we could leave. My recommendation is that you get your Thai food elsewhere--or just don't get your hopes up. Although it's not Thai, we'd recommend heading to Pho888 just one block away, or Hokkaido next door. We wish we had chosen either of them instead. Granted, Kalispell is not a sought after center for authentic Asian cuisine, and we know that. But this experience tonight was just a waste of time and money. (We headed to The River Coffee Company so we could at least somewhat rescue the remainder of our date night. Highly recommended!)

Husband and I split the 3 meat plate (although we were tempted by the special-beef ribs on mashed potatoes). We had brisket (good and my favorite), pork ribs (fall off the bone good and tasty), pork belly (hubby said it was good since it isn't my thing). For our sides we had collard greens (we fought over those they were so good), bacon Mac (creamy and smokey), and corn bread (so glad we each had our own serving of that or there would have been bloodshed). That cornbread was the best I have had at a restaurant in ages. Staff were on it. They were personable and friendly. Kitchen staff--wow. It was awesome to watch the magic and teamwork happening in the very small wizard's workshop. Thank you for the great night and the leftovers.

    So, I really don't know why people come here. Maybe we got unlucky but let's run it from the start…read more Upon entering, the place does look very cool. It almost feels like you're in a mineshaft or an antique store, which I thought was awesome. We are immediately greeted with a very friendly smile and told there were seats at the bar (the restaurant was packed, another good sign). A few minutes go by and we're still standing at the check-in, and another couple comes in. They are greeted in the same way, offered seats at the bar, and are thusly ushered to their seats... while we were still standing there. Okay, few more minutes go by and we call out the table that was just cleaned, and we get seated. The menu looks phenomenal, and we ended up getting the meat combo to try everything. This is where it gets even worse. The barbecue itself took a while to get to our table, which would be fine if it wasn't cold. Yes, you heard correctly, the barbecue was all cold. Baked beans had to have been Bush's. Potato salad and Mac was good, same with the cornbread. But the main things we paid $60 for were cold. The ribs were beyond burnt, and the brisket was tough. Oh, and the single sausage we got was slathered in mustard and barbecue sauce, come to think of it everything on the plate was slathered in barbecue sauce. Usually not a good sign lol. I really wish I could say nicer things about this place but I unfortunately cannot recommend it to anyone. But hey, they're packed so maybe that's just the quality of the food around Kalispell. Food: 1/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 2/5 Overall: 2/5

    I haven't been to Panera in several years and I think this is my first time coming for BREAKFAST…read more Arrived and the building is HUGE. It was 8am on a Wednesday and the place was EMPTY. I wondered how they stay in business. Walked to the self service computer monitor and placed my order. Placed my order but was NOT given the option to have a receipt (not even an emailed receipt). They did have a barcode to scan and track your order on your phone so I did that. It let me track my order but had no receipt option. So I had to go to the counter and ask for one. Order came out pretty quickly. This is what I ate: 1 - latte - this was the best thing I ordered and was pretty good. Right amount of froth and temperature was good. Quality espresso as well. 2 - Croissant bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. This was a pre-made breakfast sandwich that they heated in a microwave. Similar to what you would get at Starbucks. Nothing special, just ok. 3 - Cinnamon roll - I saw they advertised a "new recipe" for this and I enjoy a good cinnamon roll and gave it a try. This was the WORST thing I ordered. It was cold and tasted like something I would buy at a grocery store. Would never food ANYONE for being fresh or homemade. There are better options elsewhere!
