Gobi Manchurian dry
Deborah M.

Moved out of the area, but came to get some errands done. Stopped in for a bite tried the vegetable pakora, gobi, lamb vindaloo! All good stuff! Service was fast and friendly. Still a cute small place. Not many places in the area for Indian so for having cornered the market it's good!

It was an okay place. We initially thought they had buffet.. but they didn't. Quite expensive of what we ate. Per head we paid around 30$ !!! Not worth at all.. chicken was not cooked well. Naan was ok. Biriyani was also curry'ish. Not my style.. waiter could smile. He was always serious .. I actually went back again and the food quality was still average . Wanted to give a second chance but no good . Biryani was very average . Chicken curry was ok dokie . Average overall. No parking outside . Need to pay and park.. ambience was normal .

....what I got. Mango Lamb.
Monica D.

Order a couple of meals from DoorDash to be delivered. I got garlic naan, vegetable samosas, Matar paneer and Mango lamb. Everything tasted really good however my issue was the instructions were completely disregarded. Under the description for the lamb, it does not specify whether it is in sauce or not so when I put in the order I specifically said if it is in sauce, please lightly sauce. What we got instead was a POOL of sauce, where you couldn't even see anything! I only ordered from this restaurant first time because all my regular spots were closed on Monday. Not sure I would go back though.

Decent spot to satisfy my craving. My biggest issue was the server couldn't answer questions about the difference between food options on the menu, which makes it challenging if you're working with dietary restrictions. I'm not sure if I'd return but the food was ok. Metered street parking available.

Still hands down my favorite Indian place, make sure you order my naan because there's just so much sauce with the butter chicken. I got the tandoori chicken appetizer and it's really good, and they give you so much!

Lamb samosa.
Debbie S.

Fantastic, homemade, super fresh, delicious Indian food! I'm not sure why there are mixed reviews on this place as I went with my family, all very picky Indian-food-lovers, and we all absolutely loved everything we tried! The chutneys that first come to the table are SO flavorful. We already knew we'd be in for a treat! Tandoori chicken was served sizzling! It was super moist and bursting with flavor. My brother in law loved his chicken curry (he's very picky on this!) and ate every bite! He loved it. Lamb samosas were awesome - they didn't skimp on the tasty meat filling and it was so hot and fresh, with a crispy delicious fried outside. Worth the calories! Cauliflower/Potato and Okra dishes had tons of flavor without being oily, as a lot of Indian food can be. Loved these, as well as the garlic naan was so good, I didn't get a good photo! (It came out as a blur I was so excited to taste it as the smell was incredible.) Others had the tomato soup and mulligatawny soup, which were both raved about. Highly recommend!

Chicken Seekh Kebab

Order via Uber , so the price was $14.95 . For this price, you get pretty a amazing portion. However, it's on the salty side and some pieces are burnt. I like the taste, not sure if it's for everyone.

Veg Pakora
Hemalatha K.

Mediocre Indian Food.. Maybe you have never had Indian food, it may taste good but definitely not for me. Veg Pakoras were decent but stuffing in Samosa barely had flavor, and the Biryani was just passable. I have had few Indian Curries from here before and they tasted better.

Garlic naan bread.
Ivette V.

Let me start off by saying I have never ordered Indian food in my life. (I know, I know, where have I been, right?) anyway, last night was the night. My family had a taste for Indian cuisine and wanted to order so I jumped on the band wagon. I admit while reviewing the menu I thought to myself, what would be the safest bet? I went with the Chicken Korma. I have heard through the grapevine that Indian spicy is VERY SPICY so I went with the "mild" sauce option. The food arrived on time and it was nice and hot. I got a side of rice and a garlic naan bread which I dipped into the chicken korma sauce. One word: YUMMY! Props to the chef! It had so much flavor, all of the spices were having a party with my tastebuds! Btw: It was not spicy at all and very enjoyable. I especially liked the garlic naan bread with the sauce. I will be having my leftovers for lunch today! They also sent us rice pudding. This is not your average rice pudding, it actually reminds me of the Latino style rice pudding which is packed with flavor, just the right amount of sweet cinnamon-y goodness. It also has another spice which I can't quite pinpoint but who doesn't like a little mystery, amiright!?? Haha Next time, I will try the "medium" spice. Wish me luck! If you are in the area and want Indian, order from here!

My review is based off the veggie biriyani I ordered with my Door Dash credits. It was probably one of the best biriyanis I've had in a long time. A large portion, filled with veggies and spices. It smelled as good as it tasted. I'm very eager to try out their menu. One thing that threw me off is when I arrived to pick my order up, the employees weren't too concerned about giving me my order and mostly just talking and laughing with each other. It was a little awkward, but that's not going to stop me from going back.

Taste of India - Chicken tikka masala

My husband and I have been on a hunt for a local, dependable Indian spot, and I think we may have…read morefound our winner. Insofar as the roti resembled the buttery, flaky layers of a white roti, this was a pleasant order. The roti here are made with whole wheat, which made for a grittier texture that felt...healthy, for all the good and bad of that word. But they were sufficiently buttery, which always helps things. And minor quibbles aside, this was still a fantastic vessel to scoop out every last smear of the tikka masala sauce. Clearly, we liked the chicken tikka masala. With a fragrant, velvety sauce and large chunks of tender chicken, after a few bites of this dish, I found myself announcing to the table, "I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't like Indian food." The chana masala - our other entree - was a little more muted and tomato-forward, but still fantastic. It feels strange to leave praise for rice, but judging from the sheen at the bottom of our rice dish, I suspect they melted and mixed some butter to it (which, again, no complaints here). Service was chill on a Sunday afternoon. Beyond taking our order and dropping off our food, we weren't bothered during our meal (which is the just-right level of attention I generally want from a place). The space is a little run-down but homey, and there's only street parking, but I've never had trouble finding spots here.

Service was a bit awkward, not sure why. Food was expensive, Chicken Tikka Masala was tasty, and…read moregood portion size, but expensive at $20 and there was no lunch specials. Naan is extra at $4-5 a piece too. Not coming back.

Second of all, the place is clean and the staffs are nice!! i mean what can you ask for? someone to answer your questions and help you with your decision, and the a clean and open space to enjoy your meal (with or without companies).. Third of all, they have a small parking lot at the back of the building... you do have to read the sign since some parking are for residents, but they do have some parking available if you couldn't find street parking.. MY absolute favorite is their mango lassi! it is sooo rich and thick... i feel like i am drinking mango! will definitely come back for more...

I ordered at the Kiosk and got the butter chicken with Naan only ($13.75). I didn't realize naan only meant no rice and naan only... I didn't read the fine print... it was good and the naan was made to order. I also got the Tandoori Chicken Pizza, which was a solid. If you get it late, it's only $8.95. It's an interesting fusion spot and I would recommend if you want late night meal and in the mood for Indian food. * Street parking * Tandoori Chicken Pizza is $8.95 late at night

First time I ordered from here, the food was amazing. I highly recommend the chicken tikka masala…read morerice platter. I've never had a complaint about it. Its topped with fresh chopped onions, tomato, and cilantro. There's plenty of chicken in it. The platter itself is very small for the price, just a heads up. The aloo parathas are my go to. I've tried the one with the meat and the meat was inconsistently placed throughout the paratha. The aloo paratha is good, but could use more filling. Here's where they lost me: the raita- that yogurt sauce that comes with the paratha- is ALWAYS inconsistent. The first time I ordered the paratha this raita was the best i've ever had. It was raita with added tomato and onions. Blew my mind and I ordered it again. Next time they give me a yogurty mess that I wouldn't call a raita. No added anything. The time after that they forgot to include my raita and when I picked it up later, it was another disappointing variation. I've stopped ordering their parathas because of this since I cant eat dry partha by itself and who knows what kind of raita they'll give me. Overall, I continue to get platters from them because they're within walking distance for me and the CTM rice platter is so good.

The beef looking plate was just as good in its own way. The chicken drumsticks are A FAVORITE!! Wow those are so delicious and crispy. The tea is always a delight to drink with the meals. Can't remember the other two meals, but they were all good. My party split them all four ways to try everything and it was delightful. I don't feel icky after eating so much, and the portions are huge. Waiter was very patient with my grandmother who 1) doesn't speak english 2) is diabetic so we had to find something safe for her to eat. 110% recommend this place to anyone. It's vegetarian/vegan only, but honestly the food was better than meals I've had with meat. Food felt good to eat, i didn't feel sick or overly full and heavy from it all.

The prices are very reasonable and even more so during lunch hours. They also have a great selection of deserts.

This is how you have a sustainable business. Thank you.
