It's been a while I had good Indian food in this area and it seems like a great place. We ordered kadhai paneer and lamb chops and both turned out great. Point to note for ourselves is to order spice level as hot for myself and medium for my white American bf whose spice tolerance isn't as high like myself but more than a mild for sure. Service was great. It is a family run business so the owner himself comes out to take feedback and talk to the guests that shows us the dedication in running this place.. we have to come back again for this as I want to try their biryanis. We will be back soon.

Every dish I order is exactly the flavor profile, the spice level, the everything I want it to be. I've eaten a lot of Indian food, but this place never misses. Favorites are the Cholay, Palak Paneer, Butter Chicken, Chicken 65, Pakoras, Chili cheese naan, and the veggie samosas, but I have never had anything less than tasty. Put the green chili chutney on everything. Only complaint is they used to have dessert options of gulab jamun or kheer, and I don't think they offer the kheer since dine-in cratered during Covid. Could be wrong, but it was delicious and I miss it. Love you Phulkari Punjabi!

The truth is, I don't want to share. I will hoard my precious bowls of butter chicken and forget all decorum. There is something beguiling about this sauce... and yes, I realize I'm talking about food. But you have to try this dish to understand my devotion. It is about more than the flavor which is incredibly layered, but it's so silky and rich that I could probably drink it by the cupful. Yes, I'm talking about food, don't look at me! Let me just eat in peace, with a giant spoon and a bib. I will even use a veil to hide my shame. The service is always friendly and lovely, and I think they might be a little worried when the tall white lady comes in all wild eyed and hungry. The ambiance is fine, as far as I know, my singular mission is to obtain the butter chicken, I am not sure if they have tables and chairs. The menu looks incredible, with recipes that are probably just as delicious as the butter chicken. But here is my problem... if I try another dish that is just as good as the BC, then what do I do?! I will be back here with another confession even more delicious.

The older staffer seems more friendly and checked up on us. Ordered 2 dall soup, medium spice: Gobi Manchurian, Chana masala, dal tadka, butter chicken and mango chicken hot spice. 3 Naan and one rice with each main dish. $78.37 Gobi isn't crispy at all, soggy, it's okay. Not spicy. Heavy breading. The cauliflower falls out of some of the breading. The Daal soup is good, although quite watery. The mango and butter chicken sauce flavors are good, the spicy is definitely got a healthy kick. The chicken pieces are big chunks and they are dry and overcooked. The butter naan is good soft and billowy. The Chana and dal tadka tasted okay, although I did find either a white hair or white stringy lint in the Chana. I was told it might be onion or ginger. Some tandoori chicken is smoking and it's making us cough some. It's tickling our noses. We had to pay quickly and get out of there.

The naans were fluffy and crispy, not gritty or burnt. Medium spice level on entrees is spicy, but not painful. Perfect. The tandoori chicken was absolutely phenomenal.

Paper towel dispenser is not working either. Ordered two lentil soup (medium and spicy), Chana masala, butter chicken, veggie korma and Dharka Tal, all medium and a garlic chicken. $72.54 They charged us for Kirkland brand Alkaline water. The lentil soup is spicy, even for medium. It's tasty. I like the cilantro. Butter chicken, Chana masala and the Dharka Tal were good. The veggie korma was okay, some green beans that didn't work for this dish for me. The man behind the counter asked my husband if everything was okay after we got our soup. He asked my husband again how everything is after we got all of our main entrees. I forget that my opinion doesn't tend to matter at Indian restaurants at all. This is the second time in a month at an Indian restaurant that staff only asked my husband. The younger staffer asked us both how the spice level was and if we wanted any dessert. He looked us both in the eye too. He took our order and brought out our food to us. It's a shame that the more mature guy has no clue that I am the one that tends to pay the dinner bills out.

Not a great experience for our first time at this restaurant. Went during Labor Day weekend when…read moreit was fairly empty. We ordered dinner portions of Pink Garlic Chicken along with Aloo Gobi. Pink Garlic Chicken - While the chicken tasted alright, more on the sweet side, it was served on an appetizer size plate, same size they use to serve their 2 samosa appetizer. We clarified with the waiter if the plate we received was the appetizer portion, which is also on the menu. He clarified it was the dinner portion he put in for our order. We finished it in less than three bites. Quite an expensive dish for $13.99 based on what you receive. Aloo gobi - we ordered the dinner portion and it was also initially served in a small appetizer size bowl with 90% potato and literally one spoonful of cauliflower. Our server was kind enough to take it back to the kitchen and it came back out in a larger serving dish with a normal amount to cauliflower. The taste of this dish was also ok, also on the sweeter side. We left hungry and ended up at another nearby restaurant to complete our dinner for the evening. I recommend asking what size portion you're receiving before finalizing your order to make sure you get enough food especially for the prices they charge.

Keep seeing lots of folks picking up orders and double parking their cars in the driveway to come in and pick up their carry out orders. Ordered starter Gobi Manchurian, veggie samosa, 2 dal soup, Chana masala, Tarka daal, mushroom bhaji and tandoori chicken. $94.24 They gave us the crunchy thin Papadum. Be careful while eating that the seasoning on top doesn't flip up into your eyes, it did that to my husband. He flicked off the seasoning so it wouldn't do it again. The Papadum is good. There was a random empty water bottle at the table. Table top is peeling, needs a refinish. I would put the fly strip in a more discrete spot and not hang it in the vestibule behind the counter. The samosas are good, dough is nice and light, like a wonton and it's packed with potatoes, peas and corn, which is a bit odd. It's better with some chutney. The Gobi Manchurian tastes good, just not crispy at all. The lentil soup is scalding, it's good. I like the roasted garlic in the soup and added some lemon to it as well. The Chana masala is okay, they put potatoes in it as filler instead of more chick peas. Other than the potatoes, it's good. The butter chicken is rather sweet, it's still pretty good. I am glad the chicken chunks aren't too big in this dish. Not a fan when it seems like the pieces are half a breast of chicken. Mushrooms aren't too bad. Not special. The lentils are good. Their garlic naan tastes sweet, almost, it's decent. The tandoori chicken is good.

The cheese naan was weird tasting. Not sure what cheese it was, but it just tasted off. I had a couple bites and that was that. The rice was hard/almost stale tasting. Clearly undercooked which is a bit perplexing to me considering how much rice they presumably make on a daily basis. Had two bites before stopping. The lamb was inedible. It was the least tender meat I've ever had from a restaurant. There were about a dozen chunks/pieces. I took a bite or tried to take a bite out of each one. I couldn't take a bite out of a single one. Absolutely disgusting. Very disappointing considering it was close to $20 and the food wasn't cooked. BIG YIKES.

My friend convinced me to try this place with her which is why I went (its not close to me at all). The food was surprisingly good considering the fact that previous reviews mentioned mold in their pre-packaged items. The worst thing about this restaurant is the disgusting bathroom. Files were buzzing around my head, piles of tissue and paper towel all over, the toilet was full of piss before I could actually pee & there was barely any soap to wash my hands. I saw one of the employees go to the restroom after me and I know he didnt wash his hands because he was in there for like one minute tops. The fact that I survived after eating there is a miracle because if the bathroom isnt clean then how is the kitchen clean? Needless to say, I will never eat here again. The service was decent but it was still not enough for me to feel comfortable trying this place out another time.
