The star of the meal was definitely the Raju gari mutton biryani. The mutton was so tender and flavorful and the rice excellently cooked, very fluffy without being greasy. The eggplant offer a nice vegetation option with a tamarind twist. We got the double kamita to go and it was perfect. The portion sizes are massive so you'll have food to take away as well. Staff are very nice and service is fast. Nice interior space with booth and table seating. Overall highly recommend 10/10.

We asked our server for recommendations of their best items and ordered Andhra Chicken Fry starter, and Dhamaka Special Mutton Dum Biryani. The Andhra Chicken Fry starter was okay, instead of being on drier side for an appetizer, it had enough gravy that we could have eaten a naan with it. It was spicy like we wanted but otherwise just okay. We had great hopes for the Dhamaka Special Mutton Dum Biryani, but it was just okay. Overall we were disappointed with the food.

It was Friday night ~7pm and this place and huge and quite empty. We thought this might be a sign that this place is not good but we were soooo wrong. We could not understand the menu so we had to ask the servers to give us recommendations and they were really nice. We ended up ordering a "stuffed potato naan", a lamb curry and a samosa chaat street food dish. And man they were delicious. I've never had a stuffed nan before and it's just so flavorful I have no words to describe it. The dipping sauce that came with it were amazing as well. The lamb curry was also good, but I know how curry tastes so it wasn't as surprising to me. The samosa chaat was very flavorful, spicy and the samosa adds a very nice crunch. This place is really good and I am craving for more as I'm writing this

My wife & me went today to this new Indian Restaurant as they had advertised serving Andhra Veg…read moreThali Meals on Sundays & we wanted to try it out -being Andhra's. (Andhra Veg Thali Meals are unique in taste & presentation & not too many can prepare them -let alone that most people find them "hard to handle" due to the extreme spice level in it. Further for true enjoyment Andhra food should be eaten with bare fingers as the ghee needs to be mixed thoroughly with the Rice to get the true taste). The Thali had a nicely done Chappati with Kurma Curry, Rasam, Dhall, Plain Curd, Veg Pakora's, Rice, Veg Pachadi (Chutney) , Kesari Bath Sweet & Papad. Further Spicy Rice Dhall powder with Ghee (an Andhra Speciality) was given on the side & the Owners graciously gave us Sambhar also . The Meal was good & satisfying & the Cook needs to be complimented on the taste. We told the Owner however that the "spice level" was still not "full gear" for true Andhra taste & further a dry curry like Okra, Tindli or Guthi Vankayya (spicy stuffed Brinjal) was required along with fiery hot Andhra "Avakayya" (Mango Pickle). Overall however the food was pleasing & tasty. The Owner was most receptive to feedback given & told us to check ahead , what was the curry being served in future . The Restaurant was clean, airy & comfortable.Toilets were clean, tidy & well stocked. Service by Ms.Simran & Ms.Lovepreet was good & brisk. We wish the Owner & Staff all the best & will patronise this restaurant in future also for the Andhra Veg Thali Meals.

There are not many Indian dinner buffet restaurants on this side of the Surrey/Langley area so we…read moredecided to give this restaurant a visit. Restaurant was not that busy when we stopped by shortly after the dinner service started. Price was reasonable at $24 a person. Food selection was decent. However, the food temperature was not hot enough for my liking and was only slightly warm for many of the items. Also, we had to ask for roti as it was not automatically offered. The roti arrived pipping hot. My favourite items were the gulab jamun and kheer as both were served in the appropriate temperatures. The gulab jamun was served warm and the kheer served chilled. I did enjoy trying a number of different types of curries and the flavours were quite delicious. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Service was efficient. Our server stopped by regularly to clear dirty plates and refill water. I would consider coming back to try their lunch buffet to see if it was just a one off day. I do think this restaurant is a great option in the area if they can work out the small details. Overall, it was a 3.5 star experience. I had to knock a star down because of the food temperature.

Our group had craving for dosas and picked this place as we were traveling there over the weekend…read more First they don't have ala carte on weekends so we ended up with having the buffet. The buffet had rice varieties from every southern state - curd rice, plain rice, bisibele baath, soya pulao/biryani, and then baby idlis and baby uthapams. For the curries they had only 1 mix veg, that was sweet and creamy, and chhole. There were couple of chutneys. For dessert they had gulab Jamin and kesari( sheera). Tricky part- food was running out, and getting cold, restocking was slow. You pick the idlis and the sambar is out. You come for the sambar and the uthapams and idlis are cold. The puris and dosas are to be served at the table, and then you brought the sambar and chutney and chhole at the table and the dosas and puris never made it for 15 mins, and all the food in your plate is cold. How much rice can you have? Finally when the dosa was brought in apologetically was burnt bitter. The poor server had to apologize and offer free coffee. Overall this was far from our desire to have simple South Indian dosa meal. I'd stay away from the buffet for sure.

Solid Indian place that took over the former Kent's Kitchen space on Kingsway…read more Parking is available in the plaza lot, as well as the side streets. The is quite modern. It was clearly once a (Chinese) seafood restaurant at one point, as the holes for the seafood tanks are still around. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. Chicken 65 - nice and spicy. It's more of a dry recipe compared to other places. In other words, there isn't much sauce. Served with a basic salad. Goat pepper fry - chunks of goat (bone in) with cilantro, served on a leaf. Pretty tasty. Nice juicy marrow. Cindamani chicken - a bit more sauce than expected. Basically not much different from a chicken curry. In any case, nice and tasty. Friends and I left happy. Would gladly come back. Recommended.
