    Combination Plate
    Alex L.

    Such a lovely home style restaurant! The people here are so kind and caring. I got to try the combination plate (a tad oily but still yummy), thali (definitely would recommend, this is pretty much a tasting platter), lamb kebab, and mango lassi. They were all super tasty!! Highly recommend this place, it's such a lovely dinner. Looks like they have good lunch specials too.

    Sunday afternoon 7/2025

    During a 4-day jaunt through Boulder we chose this to be our last meal, a Sunday late lunch based on many 5-star reviews... and we weren't disappointed. The establishment was only 1/4 occupied at this odd hour we chose and the gentleman/owner greeted us with such alacrity. He offered the table of our choosing and then returned minutes later to give us guidance on his menu. I requested something less traditional (i.e., no vindaloo or biryani) and he immediately recommended the Tandoori Momo ($18 + $2 with ground chicken) and the Rogan Josh ($19 + $1 for lamb upgrade). We agreed that the lamb was "good" in that it was mild (not gamey), very lean, and without gristle... but it could have been a bit more tender. Overall, this dish reminded me a bit of the more traditional Indian/rice dishes... and that was still a-ok. The star of the show was, indeed, the Tandoori Momo. I had initially hesitated when the owner made his recommendation because I (errantly) pictured pieces of reddish chicken from the Tandoori oven. I was so wrong. They are actually large reddish "pot-stickers" filled with seasoned ground chicken inside. I had never seen anything like that before. Bonus: they arrive with a big ruckus - 10 of them on a loudly sizzling platter which you can hear from 30 feet away. The couple of sauces and grilled/sliced onions that accompanied them were terrific and all was quite filling. The waitress that took over service for the balance of our meal was polite and attentive. Overall, an excellent last meal... and leaving me craving that vindaloo next time Lol. Note: one little critique is that their bill adds the tax in And Then calculates the proposed tip amount to that enlarged total. Not cool but I've now seen this happen at a couple of other restaurants.

    I placed a to-go order at the bar for fried chicken momos and plain naan. The proprietor greeted me warmly and invited me to sit. There was only one table of customers being served. I wish he had told me my order would take 40 minutes; at the thirty minute mark he mentioned that the momos take a long time to prepare. Before my food was ready, restaurant employees had begun eating their own meals. When the food was ready, my daughter and I ate it in the car. Everything was very hot temperature-wise. The momos were surprisingly spicy but still tasty, and the chutney was a nice balance to those flavors. The naan was delicious. I recommend the food but be forewarned to expect a long wait, even if you are the only customer.

    Had the opportunity to eat here several times while working in the area and really enjoyed it. The food was always fresh, delicious and as ordered. Some of our favorites were: steamed vegetable momos, chili vegetable momos, tandoori vegetable momos, johl vegetable momos and samosa chat. Looking forward to trying some more things off the menu.

    Visited this location the other evening for dinner and overall enjoyed our meal. I'm from out of…read moretown and come from an area with a high Indian population and am absolutely spoiled with delicious authentic Indian food at home and I do have to admit this place isn't nearly as good as my local fare. We ordered the Aloo Gobi, a dish called "mushroom matter", basmati rice, "Indian style tea" which is just chai I don't know why they label it that way and a garlic naan. The aloo gobi was almost all cauliflower and lacked the brightness and salty sweetness I am used to, the mushroom dish also fell a bit flat although I've never seen this dish before so I have nothing to compare it to, the basmati rice was fairly short grained, not very fragrant and unspiced but the thing that got me was the crunchy toasted naan??! I was expecting your normal soft, pillowy, melt in your mouth steamy naan and I got what felt more like a crunchy pizza crust with no toppings, not that it was bad but it was wildly outside of what I was expecting and personally didn't like it, my daughter will eat any bread product and ate it instead. The service was incredibly nice, friendly, accommodating, and helpful, our food came quickly. I do wish they had some way of dealing with delivery drivers since they just loiter in the entry of the restaurant near the kitchen which happened to be right next to our booth and more than one large sweaty delivery driver was essentially leaning against my daughters side of the booth while waiting for pick up, kinda gross. They also need to replace their carpets and bench cushions but otherwise I loved the decor. Overall they need to step up their spice game, this is Indian food bring your A game and all other faults would be forgiven, except that crunchy naan. They also don't have Chana masala??!!? This is my go to and I've never seen this not offered at an Indian restaurant in my area. As a person spoiled by incredible Indian food this sadly doesn't hold up but it's good enough and better than other places we have tried in the area like Kathmandu II.

    This is one of the BEST Indian restaurants in the country. The food was reasonably priced and…read moredelicious. The staff was so nice. Try the butter chicken and the pakoras - amazing! Wish I lived locally so could come back here again and again!
