You'll find it toward the far end of the plaza (near The Bagel Bin and neighboring shops), with free parking just a short walk away. Inside, the space is modest in size but thoughtfully arranged. Seating feels comfortable without being cramped, and the décor leans simple and clean--warm wood tones, minimal accents, and an overall relaxed vibe that lets the food take center stage. The menu features Indo-Nepalese cuisine, and this is where they really shine. Our group sampled a variety of dishes, each customized to our preferred spice levels--and every one of them was spot on. The Nepal dish of Chicken Momo dumplings completely filled the dish and I was too slow in grabbing an immediate pic but it was shared among 4 of us.The sauces were rich, layered, and full of flavor. I also have to say their Garlic naan bread was one of the most delicious I have tasted in the many versions of naan bread I have eaten. Light, chewy but still tender and full of bits of garlic that almost melted in my mouth, truly tasted freshly made. Portions are generous, and I'll admit I didn't mind having leftovers...especially since mine disappeared later that same day without hesitation. Service was warm and attentive, adding to an already enjoyable experience. They also offer a weekend lunch buffet (Friday through Sunday) at a reasonable price, which is definitely on my list for a return visit. Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, this is a spot worth keeping in rotation if you're craving bold, comforting flavors. I will definitely return to try more of their selections.

The decor is so pretty, with a ceiling of fairy lights and leaves. Even their plates are gorgeous! My sister and I ordered their rose pina coladas (one with alcohol and one without). They were both SO sweet and I honestly couldn't tell which one had the alcohol. We also ordered their samosas, which came two in an order. The chutneys that came with the samosas were insanely good, and the samosas themselves weren't too spicy. After the appetizer, we decided to split a small butter chicken entree and garlic naan. The butter chicken was more tangy in flavor than most others I have tried, but not bad at all. The garlic naan was buttery and delicious. Between the two of us, the small entree was enough to feed us that night as well as have leftovers to take home. Although it felt like we ordered very few items (two drinks, one appetizer, one small entree, one side of bread), the total came out to nearly $80 with tip!! I like this place for a more elevated sit down experience, but the price was a bit high to justify coming here more often.

After my AMAZING experience at Kesar last night, I am kicking myself for not trying Indian cuisine sooner! We learned about this restaurant while it was still under construction after visiting their spa neighbor. My husband has always liked Indian food and has begging me to go for a while. We wanted to go somewhere new for dinner and I decided to surprise him and take him here. We arrived when they first opened for dinner at 5pm and we're promptly greeted and sat at a booth. The restaurant is clean, well decorated and I especially liked the water feature when you first walk in. We were provided menus and water in their fancy glasses. We received complimentary puffed pasta (I think that's what it was) with two different dips. As an appetizer we ordered the tandoori sampler, a plain and a garlic naan and the cucumber/onion/tomato salad. The platter and naan with various chutneys were delicious. We will definitely order them again. The salad had fresh veggies but was super plain. While it was good, I probably would just get something different in future. I ordered the chicken jalfrazia (mild) as my entree while my husband ordered the chicken tikka masala (Indian - hot). Both were served with rice. I believe most of the entrees can be ordered from mild to Indian hot with about five total options. Mine was perfect since I don't like spicy too much. As dessert we had the mango mousse (I forgot what it was called on the menu). Every single thing we ordered and ate was delicious and I would get again. The presentation of each plate was very nice and the staff was very helpful with any questions we had. They noted that they will be having another grand opening in the near future when they officially receive their liquor license. They will also have outdoor seating. I have nothing but great things to say about our dinner experience last night and have already recommended them to friends. See you again soon!

Overall (2.25/5) - Rare that I have to give 2 stars but my experience was very below average…read more (Drinks 0.25/1) It started with the drinks. We ordered strawberry and chocolate milkshake along others but these two milkshakes were very watery and more like flavored skim milk than milkshake. My daughter pretty much left it untouched after trying a little bit so I took a sip and I agreed with her decision. (Food 1/3) For starters, we had the Dahi Puri, Aloo Tikki Chaat, Chili Paneer and Veg Hakka Noodles. To start with the good parts, the Chili Paneer was just okay. It was bit sour which alone would be fine but it was overly oily, and that theme continues rest of the meal. The veg Hakka noodles were super oily and bland. After sharing the noodles with the table, we were left with a bowl of oily liquid at the end. But it was still edible. I can't say the same about the potato tikki chaat we had. The tikki seemed raw from inside as I could taste flour along with the potato. It's a shame because the rest of the chaat was actually balanced well between sour and sweet. We ended up finishing just the Chhole and chaat mix and leaving the tikki alone. Rounding out the appetizers was the Dahi puri. I can say that it was not bad as rest of the apps. It had a spicy aftertaste which we didn't mind but the "meetha" part of the dish was lacking in it. For the main course with had the Patiala Paneer with Shahi Paneer and Bhaturas. The patiala paneer was actually alright and we enjoyed the broad flavor profile it carried. Individual marinated spices were coming through nicely onto the paneer and peppers. However, Shahi paneer was more like paneer bhurji. The paneer was all smashed and again filled with extra oil. I was expecting a nice Shahi smooth curry base along with perfectly textured paneer but what we got was more of double fried bhurji curry. Bhatura was decent, no comments there. (Decor 0.75/1) It's a shame that the food didn't match the great decor they had inside. There is plenty of space to even have a private party. They can do with some extra light though in the center, it looked weird to have just some lights. But the walls are nicely decorated with carved wood panels that pay homage to Indian historical sites. (Service 0.25/1) Another thing that was a bit different was that we were guided not to order certain things. But the recommended items instead weren't that great. For example, we initially asked for another app but was told that don't go for that, rather try the aloo tikki chaat which came out raw. Similarly I wanted to try Paneer Karhai but was guided to get the Shahi Paneer dish. If someone recommends me not to get something, I wouldn't order it for sure. Overall this place has lots of potential but it didn't hit the notes for me and my family. If they make some changes, I would like to give them another chance.

1/12/22 We were made…read moreaware of this restaurant by a flyer of their menu that we received in the mail. There was also a coupon for $5 off of $25 or $10 off of $40. My husband placed a carryout order by phone for Chicken Tikka and Chicken Kabob to be picked up at 5:30. He called it in around 4:30. We specifically set the pick up time so that it would be ready when I was done with my nail appointment down the street. When I arrived, they apparently misunderstood and thought he wanted to place the order at 5:30. The staff member who may have been the owner apologized and said that it would take ten minutes. It was more like 20-25 minutes. Based on the orders I heard by phone and in person, all patrons were told their orders would take approximately 30 minutes to prepare. I don't know what the average wait time typically is, but it seems long to me. When I got home, my husband said that his order of Chicken Tikka was actually Chicken Botti. Although the order was wrong, he said it was decent. My Chicken Kabob, however, was horrible. Although I am generally sensitive to spices and seasoning, I have enjoyed Kabobs at other places. My husband generally likes Kabobs, but said it was not good and threw it away. He said Kabobs are typically on skewers and not ground meat. I had to heat up frozen food and wasted $12.99 on something I couldn't even eat. My husband said he would return to try the Chicken Tikka, but he's on his own. I won't be returning.

This new restaurant is in the same location that Paleti's Kitchen occupied. I started working in…read morethis shopping center and last week they changed the sign to Zaiqa Kitchen. Where the former business seems like they just did Indian food (this is based on their website, I never actually got the chance to go there), this new restaurant offers a few Indian dishes, Halal chicken and kebabs as well as American thing like fried chicken sandwiches and chicken wings. To test the waters, so to speak, I called in an order for the chicken botti over rice and was given a 15 minute time frame. When I arrived 15 minutes later, the order had been prepared and was waiting for me. I got the chicken botti with rice and they included a little container of a fantastic minty-herby green sauce for the chicken as well as a little side salad with romaine and chopped tomato, cucumber and red onion! This was a lot of food! Definitely enough for two, or leftovers for the next day. A coworker later went down and returned with samosas and chicken biryani so they possibly offer more selections than what they show on their website? Either way, I definitely will be ordering from here again and I suggest you do too!

The most pillowy naan I've had this side of the Atlantic!…read moreI'm very picky on what I consider to be good if not great Indian food. As I come from the curry capital of the UK. I grew up with every form of Indian cuisine already on my doorstep. From Goan to the less gravy based Pakistani foods. So I wasn't expecting much, when we needed to book somewhere close to the pavilion. However I was wrong. Everything g we ate was excellent. From the paneer sizzler to the wife's shrimp tika masala. The only criticism would be that we would have loved to have been asked if we wanted another wine. But the place was crazy busy due to the concert nearby. They were rushed. So I'll let it pass.

It also was a modern design that made this place feel a bit more upscale than typical Indian restaurants. After looking at menu and buffet, we chose the buffet which was a great choice! They had many delicious options to choose from including butter chicken, spinach paneer, Biryani rice, naan pizza, curry goat, and more. And it was all at a very affordable price. (And midday it wasn't super busy which could make it a nice family friendly option.) Our waiter was also very attentive to our needs and kind. Overall, it was a great time and I would highly recommend.

I checked out Curry & Pie and this place is crazy good…read more The concept alone is different, but they really execute it well. I've had the Chicken Makhni pizza (butter chicken) and the Saag Paneer pizza, and both of them were on point. The flavors translate way better than you'd expect on pizza. It's not just a gimmick, it actually works. The tandoori chicken wings were fire too. Crispy with a nice kick from the spice rub, and that cumin yogurt dipping sauce sets it off. Definitely something I'd order again. I haven't even gotten into the actual curries yet because we usually come here for the pizza, but that's next on the list. I already know I'm coming back to try the lamb vindaloo pizza. They've also got a solid variety beyond just pizza. Different curry dishes, rice plates, naan, and appetizers, so there's plenty to explore depending on what you're in the mood for. Honestly, we haven't had anything here that wasn't really good. That's what stands out the most. Overall, this is a must try if you want something different that actually delivers. Definitely a place I'll keep going back to.

Ordering online makes pickup quick and convenient and I was able to grab my order right away. That said, the customer service could be improved.

Overall, the quality of the food keeps me coming back, and I'll likely continue to visit despite the service needing some improvement.
