The chef made me fresh naan to go with it, still hot enough to burn my fingers as I stuffed my face in the car. My only sadness was that I like my food a bit spicy, so I'm glad I didn't finish it in the car. When I got home I found the red pepper sauce in the bottom of the bag. It brought the perfect heat without overpowering the flavors. Next time I'll pay for extra sauce because this stuff is all-purpose spicy. Complaint: Ate twice as much as I should have because I couldn't stop. We'll be trying everything on the menu!

The chutney tho? ehhhh. The green one was nice and spicy! But the other one honestly...tasted like floor cleaner. Maybe that's just me though so I'm going to give them a pass for that. The flavor of the Chicken Korma was delicious, but I'm not used to chicken coming in such large and slimey while also being stringy chunks. It was hard to eat, honestly, have to either tear it apart with your teeth or find a knife. Neither of which you should have to do with this dish. I'd prefer to give 3.5 stars because the guy at the front was also mad awkward when I went to check them out the first time (plus the texture of the chicken being somewhat off putting, the cashews being fully ground instead of pieces or wholes, and the chutney being...odd)...but I rounded up to 4 because the flavors were all there, and the rice was nice.

They have a rice bowl special for 2 for $20 which is a really good deal and the food is delicious. We normally get the butter chicken and this time I tried the paneer masala, which was delicious.

They give you samples! it's amazing, and there is no other food place i've been to that gives you so many samples.

The butter chicken looks and tastes like tomato soup, not butter chicken. The chicken was breast, which usually it's not, and the chunks were massive. The korma has huge chunks of chicken too I mean too big to fit in your mouth big. I don't understand how there are so many positive reviews. So extremely disappointing.

It transports you back to a simpler time and the ambiance adds to a really chill vibe. Food was awesome and to find Kashmiri food anywhere on west coast was my first time in 20 years. This is a part of India with very different cuisine from a quaint place in Himalayas. I'd encourage folks to explore it with an open palette. It's a hidden gem that has to be experienced. And yes, I will not be sharing my kohlrabi with anyone else!
