It wasn't too spicy if you can handle the heat and it had a tangy taste to it too.

Decided to go here to try it out…read more First of all, the inside is a bit too hot and stuffy. Portion size was a lot smaller than I anticipated, based on other Indian places I've been. The "Virginia Iced-Tea" was really good. I don't know what made it Virginian. Maybe the fact that it was cold and had ice did. The Naan was good, albeit crispy. I'm used to more of a softer, chewier naan and so that was surprising. I had to try the butter chicken and it was a little different too. I still like it just fine, though. Rice was absolutely perfect! Some of the stuff on the online menu didn't match the menu in-house. So I would not believe it if you're looking at the one on their website. Shrimp was so spicy! Now, for the really bad parts. At first, I was pleased to get the complimentary water... until I realized that it was room-temp. Everyone else's was so chilled, there was condensation. Everyone else in the place got very large portions, mine were small. Everyone else got checked at least half a dozen times, I was barely acknowledged or straight-up ignored. When there was interaction, me and my party were treated very rudely. My guess is that it was because 1. they were scarred by the other people there that were being very rude and irritating first. And 2. some of the staff are very preferential when it comes to certain demographics and not very partial to others. Love that old double standard, it's even more delectable than anything on the menu! Final word on this place: not the best, not the worst. Service could be a LOT better.

When you enter, you order at the counter. If you are dining in, you choose where you'd like to sit, and your food is brought out on trays. They do use paper plates and plastic utensils, but again, it is fast-casual. They have a vegetarian side of the menu and then a side with meat. The only meat they offer is chicken. We got the Chicken Biryani and the Chicken Curry and garlic naan. We asked for it to be VERY mild. The flavor was all very good but I would not call it mild lol that's probably my only complaint - it was a little too spicy for me. I have been to other Indian places that offer American mild, medium, hot AND indian mild, medium, hot. I think they realize that they are able to tolerate a lot more spice! I would say my meal was probably "Indian" mild. I realize spice is subjective, and I am a wimp! They offer a variety of different drinks in their cooler and they have a filtered water station. They do not offer ice at all. Our food came out very fast but was still PIPING hot and fresh! The customer service was excellent. The gentlemen at the counter was extremely nice! During our meal one of the women from the kitchen came out to use the restroom but stopped to ask us how our meal was and to let them know if we needed anything. Very sweet people! I would absolutely recommend this place for a flavor, service, and If you like spicy!

Even the restaurant has a warm light cozy feel. The waitress we had had such a sweet and wholesome demeanor and was also attentive, she even gave us great recommendations when we couldn't choose a certain appetizer. My partner and I ordered drinks and we couldn't believe how reasonably priced they were, that was definitely a plus! After the drinks the food came out very quick, first were the Lamb Samosas which were very flavorful and the sauce included paired so well together. I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo as my main meal which was so tasty but also spicy!! Please choose your spice level carefully as I got a 3 for mine and was perfectly spicy but if you're not a spicy fan go lower. My partner ordered the Chicken Biriyani and the portion you get for that is HUGE. Expect leftovers. Overall the experience here was a 10/10

Open to explaining things very clearly and kindly, which I appreciate a lot. I like that they have a vegetarian section on their menu, if you're not a meat-eater or for those times when you're not feeling it and you want something a little different. I have tried multiple dishes from here and have been quite pleased each time. I really enjoy the different kinds of naan bread, but I have to go with the plain for my favorite, can't beat a classic. The almond shake is really good, a nice soft flavor that I would classify as "calm", which may be an odd choice of word but fits as it helps soothe the spiciness if you get your entree at a higher heat level. One time, I believe one of the employees (maybe the owner?) actually helped by placing the ice cream I got one time, in a bag with ice set around it so it wouldn't melt on the ride home. He took the time to explain why it was packed that way. Admittedly, I was really surprised as I didn't even ask nor would I have thought of it at the time. It was very thoughtful. My favorite thing to eat here is the butter chicken with the rice. The sauce is SO good! There is a big portion and I'm always full by the conclusion of the meal. The prices can be a bit high, but every once in awhile, it's totally worth it. I just love that sauce to mix in with the rice, or dip the naan into. Really makes the meal feel complete. Everything goes together. Sometimes, it can be a bit tough to decide what to get if I'm wanting to try something new, so I mostly stick to my regular. And if that tells you anything, that I have a regular here, then it's safe to assume that this one gets a seal of approval in my experience.
