Valentine's Day called for takeout, and this meal absolutely delivered. From the moment I stepped…read moreinside, the warm, fragrant blend of spices set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. We ordered samosas, vindaloo, garlic naan, butter masala, and tikka masala -- each dish beautifully prepared and layered with flavor. The samosas were crisp and perfectly spiced, the vindaloo bold and vibrant, and both masala dishes rich, velvety, and deeply satisfying. The garlic naan was the ideal companion, fresh and aromatic. It's genuinely refreshing to have Indian cuisine of this quality in Lexington. For anyone craving something truly flavorful and comforting, this spot is well worth a visit.

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.

Owner was very friendly and food was delicious but way too expensive unfortunately. It took a long…read moretime to receive the food but at least it was fresh. Portions were very small for what we paid. Only one table in restaurant so definitely get it for takeout. Did not look like a restaurant from the outside or the inside. One naan bread for $4 caught me off guard, especially when we were ordering 2. Also in the picture you can see for the butter chicken it was maybe 4-5 pieces in the sauce which wasn't enough for the cost. Still everything was delicious though and I would consider returning if prices were lower.

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.

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 recently ordered takeout from Hyderabad House and was pleased with the experience…read more What I ordered: I got their gobi manchurian to start things off. It came is spice levels: baby mild, mild, medium, spicy, very spicy. I got the mild because I do like my gobi manchurian to have some spice. That said, their mild is more like a heavily medium from what I'm accustomed to. I enjoyed it but just a note--if you like things to have only a slight kick, I'd go for the baby mild. For my main, I got their malai kofta. It closer to a light medium when ordering it mild but again, no problem with that. For the dish itself I found dumplings to be a bit too mushy and the overall flavor was a bit lacking for me. For my bread, I got the garlic naan. It was excellent! Covered in chopped garlic and glistening with butter--it was indulgent and delicious. Everything was perfectly packaged (no leaking!) and came piping hot! And, the servings were robust so I have fully half leftover for another dinner. Get to it!

Besides the live dosa man, service was non existent. Nobody ever cleared the dirty plates from the table and I had to go ask for cups for the water, even though they had places a container of water on the table. The small bowls that are usually made of stainless steel at Indian buffets were Styrofoam here, which I did not like at all. Prices are higher than what they advertised on their Facebook page. They add a surcharge for paying with a credit card. It was $51 and some change for two of us to eat after tax. Not bad for what we got. I've eaten dinner here too, off the menu and enjoyed my dosa and daal tadka.

All was delicious but the curry was very flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. The portions were a little smaller than I expected for the price, but the quality of the food made up for it. The service was good, even though I ordered takeout and didn't dine in. From what I could see, the restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere that would be perfect for a date night, celebration, or just a cozy meal for two. The bar wasn't open during my visit, so I'm not sure if the restaurant is new, recently renovated, or simply not serving drinks yet. The wait time was reasonable considering the order, and everything was prepared well. Just wish my tops were more secured. The oils in the bottom of the bag and in the rice were a big mess. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back the next time I'm in town.
