    Paneer Tikka Masala
    Audrey E.

    My first experience with this restaurant was 6 years ago when two friends visited from Santa Fe and Boston and were craving Indian so they found this place online and we ordered takeout - we all loved everything! My husband and I recently came here to dine in for the first time and we were very impressed! Everything tasted delicious with the bonus of being "express". Our server was very attentive and everything was brought out promptly. The place is really nice and clean too with lots of seating and I enjoyed watching the Indian music videos that were displayed. We ordered the samosas, Paneer Tikka Masala, Chicken 65, Garlic Naan, and Bathura - we would order all again. Funny thing is while there I called my dad (who also likes Indian food) if he would like me to get him anything and I found out he had just been there two days earlier -he always gets the goat curry :) We will definitely be back!

    As others here have noted, I'd too call this restaurant a "hidden gem" in a small nondescript strip mall in Westlake...you'd totally drive by this place without giving it a thought, but don't!!! You'd surely be missing out on this delicious spot for Indian food. Had a lunch here recently with a good friend, and we decided to grab a bunch of dishes and share them. We ordered an appetizer, two main dishes and naan. The meal started with an order of samosas stuffed with potatoes and peas. They came with the traditional green chutney and brown tamarind sauces. These pillows of deliciousness were lightly fried and of course paired well with both sauces (I usually combine them for a tangy, sweet bite). Next up came the two main dishes along with a basket a fried garlic naan. Honestly, this may have been some of the best naan I've ever had...warm, slightly chewy but a cracker like bottom crust drizzled with oil, herbs and of course garlic. Perfect for dipping in the sauces of the mains! For the two plates, we chose their special boneless chicken biryani (of course!) and goat vindaloo. The biryani was chock full of seasoned and grilled chicken chunks mixed with their delicious rice combination. It had a slight kick which was amped up by the mustard-like sauce they provided. Heat too much for you?...try a little cooling herbed yogurt sauce to give the bite more balance. I'm not a huge fan of goat, but when it's done right the flavors can be wonderful...the vindaloo dish was one of those times. The thick, rich brown gravy contained seasoned (bone in) goat cooked in a spicy sauce with potatoes and other herbs. The garlic nann made for the perfect vehicle to sop up the addictive gravy and the goat meat was as tender as you can get. There was so much food in these dishes that we just couldn't get through it all...so leftover lunch portions were taken home to be enjoyed the next day (which my wife did with glee!). I'm anxious for our next return trip, to sample other delights from this wonderful restaurant.

    Gongura goat biryani is my wifes go to. Better than the lamb.

    I think this place is really good. I have only order via doordash and sad that i cannot try everything on their menu as delivery services do not get the full menu. My wifes go to is the Gogura Goat biryani. She usually likes lamb but lamb isnt as good here. I got the special boneless chicken and the chicken 65 and i think they are the same chicken. I would rather grt the boneless chicken order as it has ricr and other things along with it.

    The new color is a bit dour from the warmth of the original one. The background music was also very lacking as it was just instrumental without the excitement of actual singers. The food however, was amazing. I was told that it was a new chef, but using the same recipes. I tried their new Thali lunch special. For those not familiar with Indian food, its a nice way to sample a variety of dishes and flavors. I also ordered my favorite from here; butter chicken. The Thali was good. With a nice variety in the textures and flavors, though next time I will go slightly less spicy. But it was a true buffet of taste. The butter chicken was great! While I liked it before, the new one was creamier and richer than before. It blended nicely with the rice and made it an absolutely enjoyable lunch. For those that love naan as I do, the new naan is great. Its toasted perfectly and has a good chew. I look forward to sampling the other varieties. And finally; the best part of my lunch, the Mango Lassi. A staple for anyone that loves Indian food, this was by far one of the best I've ever had. Oh and the price is decent. 2 entrees 2 lassi And an extra naan for just over $30. Excellent value!

    Chicken Dum Biryani

    Another fantastic Indian restaurant...YESSS!!! I LOVE Indian food and this spot is one of my need favorites. They offer both Northern and Southern Indian dishes, which I adore for the variety. If you'd like more detailS on the differences between the two, here's a great article: https://food52.com/blog/12848-the-differences-between-northern-southern-indian-food They also offer a buffet on Wednesdays where they serve vegetarian selections with unlimited made-to-order dosas and naans. Be sure to try the different varieties to see what you like most. Personally, I prefer the traditional meals vs buffet style, but trying both was nice, again for the variety. I also love having leftovers to warm up for lunch the next day. Mmmmm... The prices are pretty fair for today's going rate and the service is tops. Be sure to check them out for some delicious Indian cuisine.

    Chicken Dum Biryani, Egg (Anda) Curry
    Adityanarayan S.

    As an Indian who has had a lot of biryanis in his life, I give this place all the 5 stars that it truly deserves. This place is not your regular Indian place where you get just average Naan bread and butter chicken. This place has taste and you can tell the food is made with some effort put into thinking how it tastes. I ordered the Egg curry and Chicken Biryani. The curry was nicely made (as it is cooked back in India). The curry was mildly hot and spiced perfectly, just how you'd like it to be. The chicken biryani was made just like a biryani is made. The chicken was fresh and a delight to bite into. The rice was cooked in all the quintessential spices and was impeccable. I will come to this place again and will only enjoy every time I try something new (or the same). Do give this place a shot and taste how authentic Indian food tastes like!

    Thin garlic naan
    MaryKate M.

    Just really really good, fresh Indian food. Just know, medium is way more spicy than you might think. Lol. Loved the appetizer and the boneless chicken biryani was so tender and juicy - watch for whole cloves! The garlic naan was thin and tasty - almost like a cracker. I had the delightful waitress surprise me with a dessert. Omg. It was like a crispy bread pudding in a sweet sauce. I don't know, but I'll be back again!

    See all
