Massive menu that it was a bit hard to go through and decide what I even wanted!…read more Came on a weeknight evening and surprisingly only had 3 other tables in the restaurant. There was only one server at the time when I went in. Food was good and portions were huge, great for sharing. I got: Chicken biryani (serves 2) 4/5 - This was in massive portions with a mountain of rice and full chicken legs hidden throughout. It was topped with an egg sliced in half, some sauced chicken breast pieces and raw onion. I thought that there wasn't enough raw onion for the ratio of the rice. Also came with a yogurt sauce to help with the spice. Overall, very flavourful, delicious and great for sharing. Butter chicken with garlic naan 5/5 - Thought this was delicious, creamy, tomatoey, and had the perfect amount of spice. Garlic naan was already crispy and paired well with the butter chicken. I devoured this one and wanted more. Overall, a solid place for dinner or lunch. Portions are huge, especially if it's the biryani. Be prepared to pack your food to go since portions are large.

I took my seat and ordered some food. Here's what we had: - Tandoori - 7/10: The taste was fine, but I deducted 3 points because it seemed like the tandoori was fried. - Mutton Roast - 10/10: The mutton was soft and incredibly flavorful. - Hyderabadi Chicken - 10/10: Spicy and flavorful, it was delicious. The spice level is intense, but enjoyable. - Amravati Chicken - 10/10: My first time trying this dish, and it was great. It was slightly sweeter than the Hyderabadi Chicken. - Malai Kofta - 10/10: Paired with naan, this was my favorite. Highly recommended for vegetarians. To end our delicious dinner, we had: - Mango Blast - 10/10 - Rasmalai - 10/10 I've already pinned this place to come back soon. Shoutout to Savni, our server, who was great!

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, and what I…read morereceived was absolutely disgusting -- the chicken was clearly spoiled, black in color, and completely tasteless. Serving food that has gone bad is not only unprofessional, it's dangerous to customers' health. When I called to complain, they casually offered to "replace" the dish as if that makes it acceptable to serve rotten food in the first place. I asked for a refund because there's no way I'd trust them to send me another item, but they flat out refused and insisted I pick something else off their menu. Why would I want anything else from a restaurant that already proved they don't care about food safety? I will be filing a complaint with the food safety authorities to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else. If you value your health and money, stay far away.

I wasn't…read moreparticularly in the mood for Biryani but when I came across this place it reminded me of my time in Hyderabad. I remember the delicious flavours, spices and of course freshness of the food! One of my most favourite memories, and something that sets apart their Biryani was their use of raisins in the biriyani Let me first say that this place is absolutely delicious! The spices, the flavours, the lack of oil was all on point, and reminded me of my time in Hyderabad...The only thing that was missing was the raisins! I ordered the chicken biriyani lunch combo which came with aloo tiki, AMAZING raitha, a peanuty salan, and rice pudding to finish.. all felt $9.99! That's a price that can't be beat! I wanted to give this place a 4.5/5 bc of the lack of raisins, but I'm left feeling satisfied and generous. I'll definitely be back to try the other biriyani and thali combos!!

Most of the prices are under 15$ and quantity and quality is good. They make food on order which is why we got fresh food even at midnight. It's a great Indian spot and feels familiar. The staff is really friendly and makes you feel welcomed. This is a cozy space. Although we didn't get it that day, my family also loves tawa chicken from here and this is great family place!!

I loved the nice touch adding in cumin seeds and additional flavour to the side rice that comes with the curry. Most restaurants just give you plain rice. I also got a side of garlic naan with was a 5/10 for me and caused me to take off a star in my rating. The garlic tasted like the minced one in the bottle rather than freshly chopped. I also found the naan a bit tough and not pillowy soft. Overall the curry was good and I'm going to give it another shot with a few more dishes before deciding whether to make it by new "go to" for Indian food. Im looking forward to trying the momos next. Not many Indian places have that on their menu. Restaurant was very busy which was a good sign. Service was very friendly and timely despite the busyness. I'll be back!
