Every other dish I have tried, from the Podi Dosa to the Lychee Paneer, has been fabulous. The food arrives quickly, and the staff are helpful if you have questions about the menu. The restaurant can get crowded, especially on holidays, so it's best to arrive early to secure a seat.

I was disappointed with the monthly karaoke event at Jhopri. In my experience, the event felt more…read morecentered around the owner than the participants. The owner appeared to spend much of the evening drinking and talking, which often interrupted the flow of the karaoke program and reduced opportunities for others to sing. I also felt that personal boundaries were not always respected, and some interactions with female guests appeared overly familiar, like touching females. During the recent month karaoke the owner hugged a female in the most embarrassing awkward way, in the pretext of asking sorry, that she had to struggle to get of. He keeps hugging every female for some reasons. High time he stops misusing his event. Do not touch a female unnecessarily. A karaoke event should be welcoming and respectful for everyone present. A little more professionalism, decorum, and consideration for participants would go a long way toward improving the experience. If you organize an event, it should primarily be for the enjoyment of the guests, not for yourself.

The inside is small but there are plenty of seats to go with your family and enjoy a meal. The service is relatively fast and the guys behind the counter are super nice. We came on Wednesday evening during Dosa night hours so they had half off on dosa, and man the dosa was delicious. Pro tip: ask for Pua (bread) on the side with your dosa. That is a game changer. The chaats were a bit expensive but their flavor and presentation fast make up for it. This spot has become my new favorite to enjoy chaat! If you're ever in the area shopping at Costco, and crave chaat or dosa. Definitely walk on over to Indian Hut.

We ordered from Indian Hut through GrubHub on one of those nights when nobody wanted to cook and hapiness seemed balanced entirely on whether or not naan would arrive warm. My wife got butter chicken because some people discover a thing they love and wisely refuse to gamble with happiness. It was genuinely good. Rich, comforting, sweet in the proper way. The sort of dish that makes you sit quietly for a moment and forgive the world for inventing email. I ordered the malai kofta. The sauce was lovely, silky and fragrant, but the kofta itself had the texture of damp gravel held together by optimism. Gritty and loosely packed. Every bite felt like it had been assembled during a minor labor dispute. Then came the revelation that neither entrée included rice, it was an add on. This struck me as somewhat unsettling. Serving Indian curries without rice feels like giving someone a violin without strings. Yes, technically the object exists, but now everybody is sad and confused. The naan also didn't rescue the evening. It emerged from it's foil cocoon gummy and tired, like it had already lived a long and difficult life before reaching our doorstep. The tragedy here is geographic. Lawrenceville and the surrounding area are overflowing with excellent Indian restaurants. Places where the spices sing hymns and the bread seems blessed by small and benevolent gods. Against that competition, this meal just sort of sat there under the kitchen light wondering what happened. Not terrible. Not memorable. Just one more delivery bag entering the great American night.

I ended up ordering the curry with tikka masala sauce and chicken. I also ordered kheer, which is a rich and creamy Indian rice pudding with cardamom and pistachios. The total cost of the meal was $18 After placing my order, I saw that it would take about 50 minutes for delivery. To my surprise, it arrived in just half an hour! I have to say that the food was hot when it arrived, the portions were more than enough, and it was delicious. I would say this is some of the best food from an Indian restaurant that I've had in a long time. More than happy that I decided to order from this place. The total cost of this meal was $18.

The gentleman at the counter who received us was kind enough to bring over a cake with a candle, as it was my birthday and that with a mango juice we requested outside of the menu for our 2 yr old were both covered on the house. Now when it comes to the food, we ordered a Gobi Manchurian, Baingan Bharta with Naan and a plate of vegetable biryani. The Manchurian was cold and lacked salt that I had to request to have rest of the order served hot which was taken care. But we found the Baingan more oily and the biryani not being extraordinary (portion size was huge for two adults) But overall, they have great ambiance and the close-by parking is street parking which might be tight on rush hours.

The place was a bit hard to find at first because I think they still had their old restaurant name up... The inside is fairly romantic and dimly lit, with tables along both walls and a row in-between. I was really excited for the dosas on the menu because I haven't had them in a while, but our server said they don't serve/were not serving dosas. Didn't even get an explanation. We ended up getting the fried appetizer platter, cauliflower paratha, palak paneer, lamb curry, lamb pasanda, and a mango lassi. The fried appetizer platter had an assortment of samosas, veggie pakoras, etc. I thought it was pretty good, especially the samosas. Cauliflower paratha was very oily. Palak paneer was completely off; I've ordered palak paneer from dozens of Indian restaurants, and this just did not taste like what it was supposed to. The lamb curry was alright; the lamb pasanda was much better. Some of the food here is good, and others aren't, so it's a bit of a risk if you're willing to take it. Cool bowls though.
