We went for dinner and were expecting just a name change and perhaps a menu refresh but we were pleasantly surprised. We had lamb vindaloo, palak paneer, and Rahra chicken, which we'd not had before. There was more lamb and paneer than I would have expected, and the rahra dish had both chicken thigh pieces and minced chicken in it. They were also good about no cilantro, which I always ask for but have 70-30 odds of it still appearing. We actually had so much with 3 dishes, we had to take it home, which NEVER happens at a normal Indian place. Service was lovely. It was a great experience and I would definitely go back.

Good food and good service. Liked their naan and everything i had. Worth the try. Kudosread more

I was not expecting this restaurant to be as big as it is. The space here is truly massive, and…read morewhile it was mostly empty when we came at around 2:30 - I can picture the hubbub of activity that would be present during peak dinner hours. This does seem to be a highly recommended place to eat Indian food in Surrey. I had the Non-Veg Thali, which isn't on the menu, but the waitress helpfully let us know about. It's very customizable - and I went with garlic naan, rice, two tandoori chicken pieces, lamb vindaloo, and shahi paneer - all in a single plate! Pretty much everything was excellent. I'm not even sure where to start. The garlic naan was fantastic. Soft, buttery, with just a slight hint of garlic and lightly charred on the outside. I could honestly eat this by itself and be satisfied. Garlic naan is a staple of what I order whenever eating Indian food, and this might be the best one I've had. The shahi paneer was also great; tomato-forward, creamy, and the paneer was super soft. The lamb vindaloo was a real standout. It was immensely flavorful - not lacking for spice at all - but you don't just taste capsaicin - you taste all the cumin, cardamom, and garam mixed in with the curry. But the lamb itself is the best part of the curry; it's so tender and juicy. The absolute peak, though, was the tandoori chicken. These were two large dark meat pieces, which were cooked to absolute perfection - retaining so much juice and fat. The skin was a perfect deep orange, seasoned with a ton more spices. It's like eating fried chicken but without the breading, but this was arguably even better. The masala fries were the only thing kind of a miss - as they lacked any masala. The price of the thali was only 23 CAD. That's a pretty insane deal for how much food you get - I was unable to finish everything on my plate despite being very hungry. Honestly two people could share this and be satisfied. When you consider how much sharing and new orders for bread, rice, and curries goes on at your typical Indian restaurant, this is crazy good value. Overall, I would classify this as the best Indian food I've had outside of Asia. 9.5/10

We also enjoyed the salty lassi and chai. My parents especially loved the chai, it had the perfect blend of cardamom and ginger, making it both aromatic and comforting. We will definitely be back!

Thank goodness we were far away so travel time took up most of the time. The food was a hit with the crowd. The food prices are comparable to other restaurants; the dishes are decent with meat contents; the portions are not bad at all.

We didn't realize this, but it was 2pm when we got there. As is the norm, we went immediately to the buffet and loaded up our first round (you know, the "little bit of everything" plate) and then, as we were getting up to go for seconds, we were told that the buffet would be closing soon (15 minute warning) so of course we got our seconds (aka, the "I know what I want" plate). We also took advantage of the warning and grabbed our desserts early from the well-lit dessert bar! Hello gulab jamun! The restaurant was buzzing the entire time we were then, even when it was about to close between services. The staff kept checking in on us, making it feel like a full service restaurant, and not just a buffet. Love this place!

Can I give them 10 stars please?…read more It was wonderful. We got there just at 6pm, literally RIGHT before a dinner rush. The place is small, but big enough so you aren't super crowded. We ordered several dishes, rice, naan, and drinks. At first, the service was kind of slow, but after that it was a deluge. Food was very tasty - I'm excited about it. The portions are bigger than other Indian places and there seems to be more of the protein than other places as well. We got butter chicken (as a tester), lamb rogan josh, eggplant bhartha, tandoori chicken, and palak paneer. It was all so good - when you just scrape the bottom of the bowl for the sauce only, you know it was tasty. The chai was good, but took forever and was a little pricey for what it is. They have a few Indian beers on hand and it's always interesting to try those. Parking is easy and it's and easy place to get to, and close to the border.
