I asked for my order to be not spicy because I have a toddler to feed as well and unfortunately it was still moderately spicy, so my toddler wasnt able to eat the main dishes :/ The chicken tikka masala was okay, pretty tomato forward and felt a lil bland. The chicken was tender though. Same with the saag paneer. they did give me a good portion for both entrees but it was also not as flavorful as some others ive had. dont think I would come back. Would probably try a different spot next time. In the past I have had Northern Indian food that is creamier and the flavor profiles are pretty different. This spot isnt bad though. Samosas were average nothing crazy, the potato filling was bland and outer shell could have been crispier. They also did not give any chutney for the samosas which was a bit disappointing as well.

My server was very attentive bringing me a menu to the table and offering me water to drink. She was very friendly and personable. Only one person came into the restaurant while I dined there.

I tried the Ulavacharu soup--absolutely delicious. It's main ingredient is horse gram, which apparently is in the legume family. It wasn't like any soup I've had before, so description is a bit tough. It was fairly spicy to start with, but less so as I kept eating it. The only things I could identify was ground up horse gram, some sweet onions, and some thinly shaved ginger, but it had a lot of complexity. Highly recommend that and the rose milk (especially if you need some relief from the spiciness when you start out.) I had a little bit of my friend's butter chicken sauce, and that was excellent too. More heavily tomato-based than I'm used to, but a lot of depth of flavor. I'd happily order that in the future. I can't wait to come back and try their buffet when my diet restrictions are over :) Service was great. I asked if a few of the menu items have coconut in them since I'm allergic, and our server double checked with the kitchen for me and was very nice about it. Really pretty dining room as well. The location isn't as central as I'd like, but that does make it easy to find parking in the lot. Definitely recommend!

Meet a few friends and we tried various dishes. The restaurant was clean and quaint inside with several tables and booths. There was one person working the dining area and they got busy by the time we left. As a table shareable items were the creamy Brussels sprout and the Kothey momo (dumplings), main dish I got the Tandoori Salmon and it was delicious. When they were walking out with the sizzling skillet I was thinking who ordered this?! And it was me. lol the Brussels sprouts had a great flavor and I enjoyed this as well as the momos. Overall I enjoyed the food and would recommend if you're in the area. The menu is quite extensive so be prepared to make some tuff choices. The restrooms were a bit odd as they seemed to be not fully built out, almost an after thought? Perhaps.

We also went with the momo (Nepali Dumplings. We went with the Kothey momos which you can choose from veg or chicken ($9) and they come with 5 served with a dipping sauce. These were another hit! The sauce was served room temp and not spicy at all. Very well balanced. For my main I went with the lamb biriyani! And great selection! The rice could have been a bit more seasoned but overall 9/10.

The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced without being heavy. The biryani came in giant portions and stood out with a unique flavor profile that set it apart from the usual versions.

The chicken korma was especially memorable--different from most versions we've tried, in a really good way. The restaurant is quiet and relaxed for dinner, making it a great spot to actually enjoy your meal and company with your loved ones. Portions are large and great for lunch the next day. Located in a busy shopping center with several popular restaurants, this one truly deserves more love. We'll definitely be back.

The chicken biryani came with two pieces of chicken on a bone and the flavor was good. I will need to come back to try more items. This place was definitely busy with to go orders.

Not oily, just perfect. - Aloo Naan - very good, though I would've preferred paratha and was surprised that parathas weren't on the menu in a Punjabi restaurant.
