Pros: - great marketing (every high-traffic corner in the…read morearea has a sign for it) - exceptionally nice owners - cute interior - clean bathrooms - they have Indian dishes that are hard to find Cons: - the Tenali Kura wrap I got (with paneer) was an UNHOLY amount of spice. And I like spice! But it was labeled 2/5 chilis and that was a vast understatement. I guzzled 5 glasses of water. I started to hear colors. The flavor was nice from what I could taste, but it was so spicy my sister couldn't finish her wrap and I suffered through mine. Even the owner said she would classify it a 4/5 chili dish, but it was her husband who decided it would be 2/5. It will burn a hole in your insides and humble you. - the vanilla cardamom panna cotta didn't have enough vanilla or cardamom flavor. The texture is also a bit...firmer and bouncier than others I've had. The caramel and nuts on top were a nice touch.

First off -- DELICIOUS!!!!! I had the Paneer with Bagar Rice/Chapati and the flavors were insane…read more This is not your "basic" indian spot. The food is authentic, absolutely ZERO canned food used, and the spices are blended in house! The owner, Aravind Pochiraju, helped us choose the best meal that satisfied our cravings and hunger. He was wonderful to chat with and conversing with him really made me even more excited to try the food! You can easily tell how much effort he's put into these recipes. The flavors are still lingering on my tongue!!! I was extremely surprised to see the restaurant empty which made me pretty bummed...There's perfect outdoor seating with pet accommodations and beautiful lighting! I was expecting to see more people at dinner time, especially since the food is outstanding. Next time you're craving indian food or you don't know what to cook/eat, go here! I can promise you that they will not disappoint.

The server was attentive and sweet, and expressed chagrin that it got busy and we had to wait a few minutes for her help later in the meal.

And from a list of several entrees, you can pick four. Several side dishes are included, including naan, rice and daal. Finally, you can pick four desserts. You can also pick the level of spice for the entrees. The appetizers were beautifully presented. They were truly appetizing and they tasted really good. Two of the entrees were really good, the other two less so. The service was excellent. Prompt and very courteous. The serving size was generous. About a third of the food came home with us. I loved the ambiance. Prices were reasonable and street parking was easy. It was a perfect evening. What more can one ask for?

We've tried their chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, saag paneer with rice and naan. Everything we tried was delicious with deep authentic flavors. There was a generous amount of chicken in both the tikka masala and butter chicken. Their portions are big enough to share with at least 2 people. The mango lassi's are great here too and complement the food perfectly! The prices are quite reasonable for the quality and portion size you're receiving. I was talking to the owner the other the other day about what to order next time...it's been decided, I can't wait to come back and try their fish curry and aloo gobi! If you're lucky, there are a few parking spots right in front of the restaurant.

The paneer wrap and the chana masala were amazing! The flavor was spot on. I have had so much Indian food - it's probably my favorite cuisine - and I would have to say this is up there on my list. Family owned, small restaurant - it's great for takeout. Do not believe they have seating inside (or at least they didn't when we were there). It's more of a catering business that also does takeout. Highly recommend trying this place out!
