From the moment we walked in, the rich aromas set the tone for what turned out to be a delicious dining experience. We started with the vegetable samosas and were exceptional. They were crisp, well-spiced, and paired perfectly with a tamarind sauce that was bursting with flavor. The garlic naan was crispy, and fresh out of the oven, and easily some of the best I've ever had. For our mains, I had the Paneer Butter Masala, and my husband ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala. Both dishes were incredibly fresh and full of rich, balanced spices. The paneer was tender and the sauce was creamy with just the right hint of sweetness. My husband's dish had that classic smoky depth you hope for with tikka masala, and he loved every bite. The only drawback was the water situation--served from a plastic bottle with no ice, which felt out of place for a sit-down dinner experience. It didn't match the vibe. That said, the food more than made up for it. We'll definitely be back soon.

I love the amazing flavor of every dish. It's great to be able to eat authentic foods from time to…read moretime. The atmosphere is very laid back and great for family or friends. Most dishes have a certain spice level (1-6). I usually get a 5 or 6 and they truly have kick. Tandoori is my favorite type of dish style as it presents with a roasted flavor without the sauce.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 7 Finding good Indian cuisine in Lexington was never even a thought. When I drove by this interesting looking restaurant, I had to check it out. What I found is a surprisingly authentic experience. My favorite dish so far has been the Fish Rogan Josh, which they apparently use talapia. The portion looks normal, but there is a lot of fish in the bowl. Saag Paneer and Mulligatawny Soup are pretty good too. On the downside, the Garlic Naan lacked flavor and slightly stiff. Don't bother with the Hot & Sour Soup. I would definitely come and try more of the menu if I lived nearby. Not sure if there are better Indian cuisine in this neck of the woods, but I wouldn't need it with Persis Biryani Indian Grill nearby.

Absolutely amazing food! With dishes I have not seen anywhere else. I will definitely be returning!…read moreThe goat shorma soup was delicious and the goat was bone in and the tenderest I have ever had. The Mutton Ra Ta Pulav was also delicious, and surprisingly it was boneless. This definitely a dish I would try again and I really enjoyed the sauce on the side it was served with. The street noodles were also really tasty, and the slightly sweet spicy sauce they served on the side was definitely a plus. It also tasted homemade, it didn't taste like any other similar jarred sweet chili sauce I've ever had. I was really impressed with the beer, and it says that it's specifically brewed to pair with spicy food. I got all Of my dishes 4/5 on the spice level. I also want to note that the majority of customers were Indian which tells you alot about how good the food is. I was actually shocked to learn that this restaurant is actually a small chain out of Texas, because it tastes like it's family owned!

We ordered a chicken biryani at 2/5 that was a perfect spicy but my lamb tikka masala was very mild (ordered a 4/5). My only other complaint is the chicken which seemed to be chicken breast instead of thighs. While it was still good, using thighs would have been much more tender. Overall great place, average dish is $15-17 and enough for 1 adult. I'll be back to try some more dishes!

The menu has been streamlined, parking is plentiful, and the exterior has been freshly painted white, giving the place a clean, updated look before you even walk in. Inside, the space has been beautifully remodeled. It's bright, white, modern, and spotless, with tasteful accents that make it feel welcoming without being overdone. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout the visit. I missed their weekend buffet (which I'd love to try next time), but ordered the tandoori chicken with a side of garlic naan. The tandoori chicken was outstanding--deep, authentic flavor with just the right amount of spice. Enough heat to lightly tingle your lips, but not overpowering or lingering. Easily one of the most flavorful tandoori chickens I've ever had. The garlic naan was absolute perfection. If I lived closer, this would be a regular stop, especially to catch the buffet on a weekend. Highly recommended--definitely worth checking out.

I ordered tandoori chicken and it was enough to feed a family - six pieces! It tasted ok. The third dish was chicken tikka masala, which came in a reddish, tomatoey sauce and was too sweet for my liking. No alcohol is currently served, but they are awaiting a liquor license so that may change.

The bread was soft inside, crunchy crust - delicious! Chicken kabob was also tasty (4/5). Rice was delicious! What we didn't like: Falafel was too garlicky for my taste. The worst was tabouli salad. It was soggy and full with tomatoes. Usually the main ingredient is parsley and thats what we hoped for. But parley was barely there.. big disappointment (1/5). Gyro was very oily but it was okay. Overall we would like to try more dishes. Customer service was also good, food arrived fast and they have plenty of parking up front.

Located right on main near campus, I notice it all the time and finally had the time to try it. Upon entrance, I noticed the restaurant was pretty small so do not expect to bring huge groups.

The lady running the place was also incredibly kind as well and very accommodating . All in all, this place was a blast to try and I definitely recommend to anyone looking for some Indian food.

"We need to move to SC and within walking distance of this place" were the first words…read moreI spoke to my wife after having come down from NJ on a solo trip to see my mom. I landed at the Columbia airport and hopped in the rental to go check this place out before I made my way to my mom's place about 45 min away. I didnt know this was still a carryout or delivery spot until I got there- they have some patio seating but the chairs inside are all stacked to the side. The gentleman at the counter was super polite and mentioned he would he happy to help if I had any questions. Today's menu included bbq popcorn chkn, so I got the plate with that and 4 sides- collard greens, double mac and kidney beans. I was told there were large orders ahead of me and there would be a 30 min wait. Not an issue if you read below- and now I was extra curious! I sat in the car and was texted barely 20 min later that my order was ready. Here we go... I made it about 10 min into my drive before I found a place to just pull over and eat because the aroma of the (what felt like) 5 lb plate was taking over the car! My mouth waters as I write this a day later. This was proper vegan soul food, heck this was proper soul food. Collards were tangy, sweet. salty and melted when you got a forkful. Mac was creamy (i dont care if they were shells, they are just a vessel for flavor), and the kidney beans were spiced just right and the perfect compliment. Chkn was still crispy and tossed just enough in sauce not drowning in it. I got through half the plate (and I have an appetite) before I was plain stuffed. Good thing too because I remembered I was sharing this with my mom when I got home. Euphoria quickly turned into gluttony-remorse but not a bad remorse at all. This food was bangin, slapped, all that, fire, toothsome, bussin' - I would have slapped my momma but I have too much respect (and fear). On a related note, am I the only one that is classically conditioned to salivate when I hold a warm, heavy styrofoam container without even knowing whats inside? You know, when you first hear that styro-squeak as you open the lid, get that first whiff of deliciousness and your eyes first go to the condensation on the inside of the lid as you slowly pan hollywood style to the food in the plate, complete with theatrical glorious music playing? No? Guess its just me. Back to it. If there was even room in the container- all it needed was a slice or two of plain white bread, nothing fancy, sunbeam style is perfect. Summary: RUN here. Don't sweat the prices, portions are huge. Always support local-esp when the product is straight sorcery. Warning: If you are prone to back problems, you may want help lifting the plates. To the owners if you are reading: Please open up in NJ and Thank you!
