It's been a while I had good Indian food in this area and it seems like a great place. We ordered kadhai paneer and lamb chops and both turned out great. Point to note for ourselves is to order spice level as hot for myself and medium for my white American bf whose spice tolerance isn't as high like myself but more than a mild for sure. Service was great. It is a family run business so the owner himself comes out to take feedback and talk to the guests that shows us the dedication in running this place.. we have to come back again for this as I want to try their biryanis. We will be back soon.

Every dish I order is exactly the flavor profile, the spice level, the everything I want it to be. I've eaten a lot of Indian food, but this place never misses. Favorites are the Cholay, Palak Paneer, Butter Chicken, Chicken 65, Pakoras, Chili cheese naan, and the veggie samosas, but I have never had anything less than tasty. Put the green chili chutney on everything. Only complaint is they used to have dessert options of gulab jamun or kheer, and I don't think they offer the kheer since dine-in cratered during Covid. Could be wrong, but it was delicious and I miss it. Love you Phulkari Punjabi!

With all the sugar consumed that day, savory food was an urgent need for us. The spicier, the better. Overall, we found the experience to be disappointing. Our naan was barely toasted through, which mattered since we had ordered cheese naan. The rest of food (biryani and gobi manchurian) tasted bland. I'm a big fan of spicy food, but none of the dishes had the usual notes of toasted spices I associate with Indian food. Everything seemed to taste spicy for the sake of heat.

The naans were fluffy and crispy, not gritty or burnt. Medium spice level on entrees is spicy, but not painful. Perfect. The tandoori chicken was absolutely phenomenal.

The older staffer seems more friendly and checked up on us. Ordered 2 dall soup, medium spice: Gobi Manchurian, Chana masala, dal tadka, butter chicken and mango chicken hot spice. 3 Naan and one rice with each main dish. $78.37 Gobi isn't crispy at all, soggy, it's okay. Not spicy. Heavy breading. The cauliflower falls out of some of the breading. The Daal soup is good, although quite watery. The mango and butter chicken sauce flavors are good, the spicy is definitely got a healthy kick. The chicken pieces are big chunks and they are dry and overcooked. The butter naan is good soft and billowy. The Chana and dal tadka tasted okay, although I did find either a white hair or white stringy lint in the Chana. I was told it might be onion or ginger. Some tandoori chicken is smoking and it's making us cough some. It's tickling our noses. We had to pay quickly and get out of there.

My wife and I have been meaning to try Pink Garlic for a year or two now and finally decided to try…read moreit yesterday. We both wish we had tried sooner. We agreed that this was the best Indian we've had in the area, by a mile. We ordered the meat samosas, paneer saag, chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken biryani, garlic naan, garlic cheese naan, and mango lassi. For two, it was an obscene amount of food, but holy cow was it worth it (it all came out to ~$65). The samosas were crispy, hot, and delicious with excellent seasoning. When we added the mint chutney, it took it to a whole other level. The saag paneer was creamy and flavorful. The chicken tikka masala was spicy, creamy, and delicious, easily the best I've ever had. When the spice started to get to our heads, the mango lassi cooled things off, it was super refreshing. Naan was top tier. We made fried rice and added a fried egg to the biryani this morning and it made an awesome breakfast. 10/10, we will be back as our regular Indian spot!

Not a great experience for our first time at this restaurant. Went during Labor Day weekend when…read moreit was fairly empty. We ordered dinner portions of Pink Garlic Chicken along with Aloo Gobi. Pink Garlic Chicken - While the chicken tasted alright, more on the sweet side, it was served on an appetizer size plate, same size they use to serve their 2 samosa appetizer. We clarified with the waiter if the plate we received was the appetizer portion, which is also on the menu. He clarified it was the dinner portion he put in for our order. We finished it in less than three bites. Quite an expensive dish for $13.99 based on what you receive. Aloo gobi - we ordered the dinner portion and it was also initially served in a small appetizer size bowl with 90% potato and literally one spoonful of cauliflower. Our server was kind enough to take it back to the kitchen and it came back out in a larger serving dish with a normal amount to cauliflower. The taste of this dish was also ok, also on the sweeter side. We left hungry and ended up at another nearby restaurant to complete our dinner for the evening. I recommend asking what size portion you're receiving before finalizing your order to make sure you get enough food especially for the prices they charge.

Keep seeing lots of folks picking up orders and double parking their cars in the driveway to come in and pick up their carry out orders. Ordered starter Gobi Manchurian, veggie samosa, 2 dal soup, Chana masala, Tarka daal, mushroom bhaji and tandoori chicken. $94.24 They gave us the crunchy thin Papadum. Be careful while eating that the seasoning on top doesn't flip up into your eyes, it did that to my husband. He flicked off the seasoning so it wouldn't do it again. The Papadum is good. There was a random empty water bottle at the table. Table top is peeling, needs a refinish. I would put the fly strip in a more discrete spot and not hang it in the vestibule behind the counter. The samosas are good, dough is nice and light, like a wonton and it's packed with potatoes, peas and corn, which is a bit odd. It's better with some chutney. The Gobi Manchurian tastes good, just not crispy at all. The lentil soup is scalding, it's good. I like the roasted garlic in the soup and added some lemon to it as well. The Chana masala is okay, they put potatoes in it as filler instead of more chick peas. Other than the potatoes, it's good. The butter chicken is rather sweet, it's still pretty good. I am glad the chicken chunks aren't too big in this dish. Not a fan when it seems like the pieces are half a breast of chicken. Mushrooms aren't too bad. Not special. The lentils are good. Their garlic naan tastes sweet, almost, it's decent. The tandoori chicken is good.

My friend convinced me to try this place with her which is why I went (its not close to me at all). The food was surprisingly good considering the fact that previous reviews mentioned mold in their pre-packaged items. The worst thing about this restaurant is the disgusting bathroom. Files were buzzing around my head, piles of tissue and paper towel all over, the toilet was full of piss before I could actually pee & there was barely any soap to wash my hands. I saw one of the employees go to the restroom after me and I know he didnt wash his hands because he was in there for like one minute tops. The fact that I survived after eating there is a miracle because if the bathroom isnt clean then how is the kitchen clean? Needless to say, I will never eat here again. The service was decent but it was still not enough for me to feel comfortable trying this place out another time.

We ordered the Channa masala, bhindi masala, dal makhani and muglai chicken. No rice and bread. Almost 5 weeks would no rice or bread. The guy that took our food order couldn't believe we didn't want any bread or rice with our food and was nice enough to offer us some free whole wheat roti, we took a pass. We were given porcelain plates with a plastic to go ware, that's fine. The other guests aren't wearing masks walking around the place and the one waiter has his mask under nose and at times by his mouth even. He just needs to tighten them around his nose is all, it's cloth after all. He even serves the food to the tables without his mask on. Ugh. There was a small, short dark black hair in our first Channa masala, yuck. They said they would make us a new one. I had to point out the hair to the maskless waiter. The dal makhani is bland, it's not bad, asked for some hot sauce. None of the dishes are spicy at all. The muglai chicken is good. The bhindi masala is also good, not spicy though. We did get some warm hot sauce to add to all of the 4 dishes, much better flavor for all of her dishes afterwards. The second Channa masala was hair less. It tasted okay, added some spicy sauce to give it more kick. They charged us for the Sam's club bottle waters. Our service from our main waiter was so-so, not warm, didn't wear a mask, except to pull up his mask partly up his nose when he saw we had our masks on still. Food overall was average. The muglai chicken was the best of the 4 dishes for sure.
