    I absolutely love Indian food, however it's so hard to find authentic and delicious Indian food! This place delivers both! I went at lunch on a Friday and it was very busy with dine-in and to-go orders. This speaks volumes already when I first walk-in. I ordered a Chana masala combo to eat in and one to go for later and one to take to a friend for lunch. It was divine! The basmati rice was perfect; it was fluffy, fragrant, and delicious! The Chana masala was the best I've ever had in my life! The aromatic spices were spot on and I don't know if others will ever be able to compare. The naan bread was also outstanding! I cannot recommend enough. Definitely worth a to-go order!

    I really wanted some Indian food and didn't want to drive to Irving to get it. Stumbled upon this spot on Google. I believe I got the tikka masala? It was good. I was disappointed they didn't have samosas. Overall, I'd go back and try something else, if I don't feel like going to Irving.

    Great food Chicken 65 and Chicken Tikka Masala Large Basmati Rice so good.

    My newly vegetarian daughter said this is the best tofu she has ever had. She took my naan to scrape up all the sauce. The employees are excellent about observing Covid facemasks and distance. Very happy. Will probably be back tomorrow!

    Food was great. Ordered chicken tikka combo and a mango lassie. Plenty of meat in dish. Good amount of naan. I recommend take out or having it delivered. The inside of restaurant is clean but not conducive to a romantic dinner atmosphere. It is brightly lit and full of catering equipment and just not very aesthetically pleasing. I did like that one wall is painted yellow curry color and other wall is painted red curry color! The wood chairs are uncomfortable if you have back issues like me. The same piano loop of music (one song) played the entire 45 min we were there. They serve food on paper plates with plastic utensils and provide a cold bottle of water. Staff are friendly but we were there 7 -10 min standing up front and I went to their restroom, came back and my husband was still standing up front wondering if they seat us or not. So I asked a family seated next to us what do we do and they told us you just sit down and they'll take your order. Lol Then the lady that took our order literally came back two more times because she got confused with which orders went with which tables and wanted to confirm what we ordered. Then they only brought us out 1 chicken tikka instead of 2 so we had to remind them we ordered two. It was funny. They were nice and the food was flavorful. Some of the butter naan tasted warm and fresh and some tasted just ok. Moderately priced Clean bathrooms Thank you

I got it with a side of rice and cooling raita sauce, with were great complements to the chicken. The service was great, and they were very patient with me given my lack of familiarity with most of the menu items and seemingly unending list of questions. It's a pretty intimate atmosphere as well, it'd be a great spot for date night!

I think it was no less than 80 degrees in there. They had an AC unit which was running but that thing was not going to cool the entire restaurant. There was no way. Service. Wow. Mediocre at best. The food comes out rather quickly and the seating is good. The decor does not fit the establishment's roots. I think they need to go back to the drawing board and make it feel like I am on foreign land when stepping inside and trying out Indian food. I ordered the lamb masala with buttered naan and lollipop chicken. The lamb was cooked beautifully, the curry was also very tasteful. Rice was good as expected. I mostly mixed everything with the rice. Now, for the lollipop chicken. They need to take that thing off the menu or re-create it. There were more crispy parts than chicken itself. Unseasoned as well. I ordered a lime soda and it was decent. I think if you ordered here to go, your experience will be a lot different. Customer service was sub-par. With only 1 waitress, the restaurant was not even busy but yet it took me 8 minutes to cash out. Staff need to be more attentive to their customers. Would I try the food here again? Yes. But only if they fix or get a bigger air conditioning unit.

    This was our first time here and our second time having Nepali food…read more Chai: I usually only drink Chai at home, so having it prepared properly just blew me away. They bring it with a little teapot and some sugar. Chili Chicken Momo: We've never had momo before, so we asked the server what he recommended, which was this one. We got it in medium spice which ended up being perfect, it erred close to an authentic Thai mild. The momo's flavor was fairly balanced, chili wasn't overpowering and had some suble sweetness. They were so soft and juicy despite being fried. Not too saucy either. The bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions on the side werent ignored; its not normal for us to finish side vegtables! When we come back, we plan to order two. The Curries: The chicken (mild) and butter chicken (medium) curries were both good, but the butter chicken really suited our tastes. Genuinely the best butter chicken we've ever had. I was spooning it like it was soup. Both curries' chicken were perfectly cooked, very moist. Appreciated the chicken to curry ratio as well. For the spice level, medium ended up being perfect again. Mild is best for those who don't like spicy food. The chicken curry was still good, the seasoning reminded me of my mother's vietnamese cooking. Garlic Naan: The garlic flavoring is subtle, which was a departure from what we're used to from the Indian restaurants we've been to (ex. So much garlic and butter that the nann can be eaten alone as an appetizer). The subtlety is preferred for us since it doesn't overtake the flavors of the curry. The bread was soft and came in four pieces. We came at a slow time, but the environment wasn't awkward and we had fun playing the little games provided. The server was very welcoming.

The spot is more pick-up or DoorDash versus a traditional sit-in restaurant so the interior seating is spare (4-5 four tops). Greeted by the owner Fatima who asked questions regarding spice levels and offered recommendations as we ordered at the counter. The Mango Lassi was bursting with mango flavor and almost as thick as a milkshake, super refreshing. Samosas were fist-sized and very flavorful, served with catsup, a combo that was surprisingly delicious. The Chicken 65 appetizer was the right level of spicy for a comfortable burn and the chicken was perfectly cooked. My friend's healthy portion of Butter Chicken was extremely tasty with an equally large side of white rice, again perfectly cooked. The chicken biryani can be served bone-in or boneless (my choice) and was everything a diner would want from a biryani. The rice was perfectly cooked, the seasonings ratios were balanced, and the chicken was succulent. The portion was so large I was able to make 3 additional meals from the leftovers. The garlic naan is epic - it's the size of a 12" pizza and served on a pizza pan. Thin and crispy on the edges, more doughy in the center with a load of garlic and cheese on top. Do not skip the garlic naan. Really. We visited with owner Fatima during our meal and it is obvious her food is prepared with much love. The only issue with visiting the spot is that there are only 4 parking spaces which could be a challenge during peak dining hours. Loved that our meal was served in to-go containers with paper plates and plastic cutlery so all we had to do was retrieve lids and a bag to take home our leftovers. Highly recommend trying their food, perhaps ordering through DoorDash would be best due to the parking issue.
