My only criticism is that what I ordered (chicken & olive samosas) are no longer available but weren't crossed out on the menu or anything, so they just brought me the regular chicken samosas (that have green peas in them, which I despise). When brought to their attention, they did explain and attempt to make it right by substituting for something else, but still would have been nice to know up front.

Service started strong--our waiter was attentive and clearly familiar with the drink list. The menu itself is a standout: vivid descriptions and photos make it approachable even for those new to Indian cuisine. Cocktails were a mixed bag. The Rum Kokum was serviceable but not particularly memorable. The Laal Pari, however, shone--bright, aromatic, and dangerously drinkable--though it arrived without the promised rim. Still, the flavor alone makes it worth ordering again. The chicken samosas were underwhelming in both size and filling; the spice was present, but the pastries felt sparse. They arrived with a dark, chilled dipping sauce rather than the mint chutney listed on the menu. The sauce itself was excellent--almost salad-dressing caliber--just not what was described. Timing issues emerged with the entrees. A later-arriving table received their food well before ours, despite repeated follow-ups. The garlic-butter naan arrived thin, dense, and largely flavorless, with almost none of the expected garlic or butter character. A side of tikka masala sauce provided the only real depth. Portions on the mains felt modest. The Roadside Rustic Dhaba Curry, ordered at the highest heat level, delivered tender chicken and solid flavor but virtually no spice--milder than a jalapeño. The chicken tikka masala (medium) was creamy and tomato-forward, tasting exactly as described, yet it lacked the assertive spice punch found at stronger Indian kitchens. Overall- will give they establishments other chance in the future.

You could feel the love in the room. We started with the samosas, which were crispy on the outside, perfectly spiced on the inside--classic and comforting. The butter chicken was a standout: rich, velvety, and full of flavor without being too heavy. The lamb chops were tender and juicy, with seasoning that made every bite count. And the garlic naan? Soft, warm, and just the right amount of char and chew. It didn't stand a chance on the table! The service was just as impressive--attentive without hovering, patient with our questions, and genuinely kind. You could tell they care about the experience, not just the transaction. Everything from the food to the service to the setting hit the mark. If you're in the mood for Indian cuisine done right--with heart, soul, and top-tier flavor--this is your spot.

Took my wife here at around 6 pm. The place was empty besides us. It was decorated nicely with…read moreauthentic pieces and cloth. They start by giving you a jug of water to refill your cups, which I do love, but it made the water taste like iron. Our waiter was great and attended to our table anytime we needed anything. We ended up trying a variety of items (mixed vegetable pakora, coconut chicken curry, garlic naan, tandoori roti, and a mango lassi). As far as the food, I did not really enjoy anything my wife chose. The pakora was not flavorful, and the roti was too dense and bland. However, I thoroughly enjoyed my food. Everything tasted amazing, and the lassi was such a treat. The food also came out very quickly and is a huge portion. Enough for two to three meals. Although I believed the restaurant seemed expensive at first, I truly think it is worth it, as this is the best indian resturant in town.

Upon arrival we were courteously received and invited to choose our own seating. We settled into a…read morecomfortable, well-kept booth. The dining room itself is largely tidy, though the walls show the occasional chip in the paint--an imperfect but far from distracting detail beside an otherwise pleasant table. Water arrived in a crystal carafe, poured into copper chalices: a thoughtful and attractive touch. Menus followed. As first-time visitors we would have welcomed photographic guidance; the absence of images left us momentarily at sea. Once we confessed our unfamiliarity, however, our server proved exemplary--patiently translating the offerings and clarifying the distinctions among dishes. That guidance was invaluable. The drink list itself is less successful. The type is small and faded, rendering it difficult to decipher. It offers the expected spectrum--signature cocktails, standard spirits, a handful of traditional Indian preparations, and the usual non-alcoholic options of Pepsi products and tea. We ordered a yogurt-based Indian beverage that proved, for our palates at least, thoroughly off-putting; we could not finish it. My unsweetened tea fared little better: thin, faintly skunky, and lacking the depth of a proper brew. One could see through the liquid in the glass--hardly the robust, dark infusion one hopes for. The shared starter, Shrimp 65, delivered more consistently. The shrimp were of respectable size and carried a lively, well-integrated spice mixture that flattered rather than obscured their natural flavor. A faint aftertaste of tired oil lingered once the initial spice bloom faded, yet the accompanying green chutney more than compensated. Complex, earthy, and intriguing, it played beautifully against the seasoned shrimp. Presentation was classically restrained: a simple bed of slaw and fresh herbs providing color and contrast without pretension. The Andhra Curry arrived next and proved the evening's most compelling discovery. Ordered on impulse for its promised heat, the dish revealed a far more nuanced character: layered spices that refuse to be isolated, a gentle creeping warmth rather than aggressive fire, and tender, moist chicken that retained its own flavor. Served with well-cooked rice, it is a plate I would order again without hesitation. Chicken Tikka Masala, by contrast, is the safer classic--and executed with quiet confidence. A rich, velvety sauce of genuine complexity cloaked generous pieces of chicken. Ordered mild, it carried little heat yet lost nothing in depth. Paired again with excellent rice, it remains an ideal introduction for the hesitant diner and another dish I would gladly revisit. Among the breads, the butter naan stood out: lightly crusted yet airy within, sturdy enough to scoop curry yet fragrant enough to enjoy alone. The subtle buttery finish elevates it further. The poori (or bhatura) offered a different pleasure--light, puffed, and faintly reminiscent of an unsweetened funnel cake. Its airy structure absorbs sauce beautifully while remaining crisp. The aloo paratha, stuffed with potato, proved denser and more ponderous. The texture is exactly as advertised, yet among the three it felt least complementary to the evening's selections and is the one I would be least inclined to reorder. In sum, the kitchen's strengths--particularly in the curries and the more successful breads--outweigh the occasional missteps in beverage and minor kitchen details. For a first encounter with the cuisine, the experience was both instructive and, in its best moments, genuinely rewarding.
