Indian food is my favorite by far. Mostly I have dined at Northern Indian restaurants. Also,…read morePakistani, Iraqi, and Afghani. This is my first experience with Southern Indian cuisine. I will have to google the names of the dishes to better understand and describe the dishes. Safe to say the flavors were amazing. I ordered the Vegetable Special Meal as did my wife. I am staying in the area this week and will definitely be back multiple times to further explore this dining gem. The service was excellent. Quick service, and checked backed often as they all appeared to truly ensure an amazing dining experience. The atmosphere was pleasant as well with Indian themed appearance.

A secret too good to share. If you're looking for another ordinary restaurant to eat the same…read moreIndian food and don't like to try new things, stop reading. IF you have HIGH standards and care about QUALITY ingredients (and I mean, no junkie ingredients) read on, my friend. This review is for people who can appreciate food made from scratch, with love, with clean purified water, WITHOUT inflammatory oils, and with integrity. That being said, why should I list off what I ate? Anything you order here is delicious. Get curious, try something new, or look for something familiar. It's all tasty and special. The employees care so much about their food, they are more than happy to accommodate you. And they will strive to please you and make your experience special. We started out with fried veggie pakoras, tried some veg and non veg options (a delicious mutton curry) , were given a sample of a chef's favorite and ended with a hot masala chai. Don't forget to grab some homemade ghee, crispy snacks (remember, they made it with better oils!) and stock up on your favorite yogurts treats from the treat fridge. A truly special place. Support this family business. They are doing everything RIGHT!

Returned here today after a few months, and the Ghee Roast Mutton Biryani continues to be the star…read moreof the show! A must order if/when you dine here! Couldn't wait to get home and dig in. It was absolutely delicious! Just the right amount of flavor and spice level was a perfect medium. The mutton was perfectly cooked and so tender. Generous portion as well. Probably have enough for the next three meals. The restaurant is now under new management, but the food is still amazing! We were welcomed and greeted by Narsimma with a smile. We told him we had been here before, and he mentioned he recently took over. He assisted us with our order and kindly requested us to have a seat and wait until our order was ready. Everything is made fresh-to-order, so we waited about 25-30 minutes. Usually, we opt for dine-in, but took it to enjoy at home on this visit. Mom and I had a Mango Lassi each (creamy and not too sweet) and were wowed by the array of hot items (Bondas, Idlis, Medu Vadas) along with a delectable trio of ginger, peanut, and tomato chutneys which we tried and enjoyed while we waited for our order. Will definitely return for the Ghee Roast Mutton Biryani again next time.

They have a wide variety of foods! We tried the onion somosas and paneer/jalepeno, cheese somosas. Both were perfect with some hot chai! We ordered the masala dosa as well. The dosa was a little bit on the oily side but still has great flavors. I wish the peanut chutney was a little spicier. We ended with goat curry with puris... OMG this was amazing! Never had flavors like this. I'll come back for more!! Getting ready to try their laddoos and jalebi with rabri. Stay tuned for more!

Amazing food, good ambiance and service…read more The menu looks great with such interesting dishes. We tried the jackfruit cutlet, chestnut chilli appetizer which was the best and gobi chilli which was also really good. For the main course we tried the cashew jackfruit curry which is a must try if you're here, it was really delicious. Their tandoori roti is surprisingly good, I say this cos it's really hard to find good ones in the US. Jackfruit biryani was nice too! We tried the falooda but it was underwhelmin. Definitely coming back for more! Highly recommend this place!

From the outside, the restaurant feels like a fresh and promising new concept. On our first visit,…read morewe genuinely enjoyed the conventional idli and vadas we ordered -- they were well prepared and satisfying. However, as they say, "second time's a charm." Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience. The dosas we both ordered were undercooked and half done, which was disappointing. When we politely pointed this out, it seemed that both the kitchen staff and the server took the feedback personally rather than professionally. Constructive feedback is meant to improve the experience, not offend. As guests, we should feel comfortable sharing honest opinions about the food served to us -- pun intended, please don't "dare" misunderstand that. We hope this is taken in the right spirit and helps improve consistency and service going forward.
