Lamb curry with garlic naan and a mango lassi was my order. Overall excellent Punjabi style Indian food. Located inside an old truck stop this is one of those total hole in the wall types of joints that offer very delicious Indian food. Staff were super friendly, very affordable prices and located right off the 40. read more

This spot is the bomb.com. The best dining in the Gallup area. For all of you Tiki Masala loyalists, I challenge you to break out of your routine and try the chicken soup here. Exceptionally flavorful, and I recommend getting it at least a little bit spicy. Garlic naan was buttery and on point. This mango lassi was a little sweet and liquid for my taste. Next time I'll go for the chai masala. read more

Stopped by here on our road trip and so glad we did! They had amazing Indian food (North Indian/punjabi) style that was delicious. We got the tandoori chicken, kadai chicken and naan and it was spiced perfectly (medium spicy). The portions sizes felt huge for us and it was reasonably priced. Really glad this place exists!! The chai is HUGE so split it with a friend! read more

This is a true hidden gem. Authentic Indian food, flavors are explosive. Not like the typical Indian restaurant we're used to in Albuquerque. If ambience is your thing, this is not the place for you.

I got the chicken tandoori and it was huge! It had like 8 pieces of chicken in it with onions and green peppers. It also came with rice. I ordered a naan and it was good and fresh!

I'm not Indian but love Indian cuisine and we used Yelp to find this place. Having experienced some local Indian restaurants in the past we weren't too timid but this place is attached to a truck stop. The meal and service were exceptional. I had the Lamb Vindaloo with garlic naan and my two dining mates had curry (chicken and goat). We all selected medium spice level and two of us agreed we could've gone a notch spicier. I ordered two naan breads as some places are stingy on bread but here one would've been enough. Everyone passing by with a hunger for something different should stop in and be delighted. read more

Great flavors at a truck stop. The buffet was closed so we ordered when we walked in. If you are driving through Gallup, call 20-30 mins ahead. All the classics. I got a saag and my boyfriend the curry. Both were excellent. You get a pint of curry and a pint of rice per entree. I have yet to find Indian food this food in Phoenix. I was really impressed with the flavor profiles of both of our meals. 10/10 for Indian food but 100/10 for truck stop food. Grateful to have stopped here and likely will again as we travel between Phoenix and Taos frequently. read more

I love Indian food but, living in a small town, it's not something I get to enjoy often. Fortunately, I'm on the road a lot and I've been amazed at how many Indian restaurants there are at truck stops. Of them all, this is my favorite! The absolute best thing is their chai, real chai, not the stuff you get at Starbucks. If you're on I-40 and you're tired of fast food then you definitely must stop here. The aloo ghobi (potatoes and cauliflower) is perfect, the samosas are big and the shell isn't too thick, and the chicken Tikka masala is truly wonderful. But whatever you order, be sure to get some chai! read more

Completely unexpected, but awesome awesome Indian food here. Definitely eat here if you're in the area. Sure, the place is absolutely no ambiance and is inside a truck stop, but do not be fooled by the exterior of this place. This restaurant is run by Punjabis and most of their clientele are Punjabi truck drivers. Yes, there is a whole business of truck drivers that are Punjabi Indians that drive trucks all over the US. The companies operate out of Canada and provide these services in the US. And did you know, that in India, Punjabis are known to run the truck companies there? So, essentially, there is this restaurant business all along large highway routes for Indian truck drivers. And definitely eat where they eat. It's like NYC taxi drivers, go where they eat! The AYCE buffet is what you need to get. It is served every day (except Mondays) from 11am - 5pm. Yes, all you can eat lunch buffet until 5pm! They have plenty of veggie options including channa (chickpeas), some kind of aloo (potato), very fresh naan, tandoori chicken, excellent pakoda (onion fritters), excellent gulab jamun (sweet dessert). If you ask for masala chai, they will give you a large piping hot, oh so good authentic Indian chai. And all this for whopping $12.99! Overall, an excellent place to fill your hungry belly and oh so delicious! Trust me on this one, I know my Indian food (been to India) and this place is legit. read more

Pros: Amazing, cheap, delicious food Cons: currently no sit-down dining, dirty restrooms Stopped here twice on my way through town, it's that good. It seriously rivals the Indian food I've had in big cities, and was quite popular with the locals. It is located at a very unassuming truck stop, and was a bit slow due to limited people working. The bathrooms were also very gross. I recommend calling ahead to place a to-go order, and don't let the exterior dissuade you from having some delicious Indian food from this hole-in-the-wall establishment. (I had the chana masala and garlic naan; probably second best chana masala I've had in my life, the best was in Seattle). read more
