I love Indian flavors however have a sensitive palette to spicy heat. The Samosas tasted like someone accidentally dumped the spice jar in, it overwhelmed the vegetables. I'm searching for my new local butter chicken restaurant and was happy when I read them serve theirs with shredded chicken because that tends to be more tender. However I received chunks of chicken. It was tender and the flavor was good. Deal breaker for me was the nan. I don't think it's too much to expect hot off the grill naan. This one was microwaved so when I got home it was tough and barely edible. Onward.

All very delicious! Service was friendly and I believe they made a return customer outta me!

Butter chicken uses a cashew based gravy instead of tomato, creamier and richer, noticeably different from every other version in the East Bay.

Garlic cheese naan is not optional. Warm room, good for a weeknight dinner, gets busier on weekends. 5 stars, the kind of Indian food that makes you reconsider everywhere else you've been going

I went with some co workers for lunch and we shared what we individually ordered amongst ourselves because it was our first time getting Nepali food. When we arrived, there was no one at the front. Mind you, we came in 30 mins after opening for lunch. We rang the bell multiple times and then as we were about to go to a different place, thinking there was no one around, the cook came out and took our orders. I could tell he was a but overwhelmed since we were a group of 5, but he was really nice and courteous. He also answered the questions we had concerning the food. It took about 40 - 50 mins for our food to get in. We were the only ones in the restaurant so I'm surprised it took the long. That being said, i realized there was only one cook in the kitchen to it makes sense why it took so long however, I was not mentally prepared to wait that long. Around 12 pm, the hostess came in and was shocked to see us. She apologized for being late and wanted to get our orders but we told her the cook already got them. After waiting for about 50 mins, we finally got our orders. The food was AMAZING. Starting with the chicken sekuwa. It was a complete 10/10. I would definitely come back just for this. It was seasoned to perfection, very tender and juicy. The C Momo was very crispy and covered in a nice sweet chilli sauce. They're like deep fried dumplings. I would give it an 8/10. The lamb curry was very savory and filling. We got that with some rice and roti. It paired very well. I would also rate that an 8/10. The lamb thali was good but I think I was overwhelmed with everything on the plate. It was not bad, the lamb and lentil soup were good but I think I did not know how best to eat it so I could not fully appreciate it. I would give it a 6.5 The thai iced tea was pretty standard one. Very nice and not too sweet. 8/10 for ne The food here was pretty remarkable. I usually don't care about 'bad' service but this one really had a huge impact and stopped me from giving it a higher rating. I would not be too keen on coming back here with how understaffed they are but I do understand. If you're not in a rush, and are ready to grow your fruit of patience, I would definitely say the food is worth the wait and it was really good.

I was trying to describe & suggest dishes but my aunt was mainly concerned about milder spiced dishes !! not being adventurous souls, they ordered the Chicken noodles & chicken biryani !! I ordered a tasty cauliflower dish ... 2 thumbs up ! they said their dishes were tasty, the noodles were mild but the biryani had a little heat, but not bad, very tasty & lots of chicken !! Pretty much selfserve, you order & pay @ the front counter, then pick up your food when it's ready - not the best set-up if you are not ambulatory, but I was there to assist ! We also got chai tea, unsweetened but I asked for sugar - it's in a salt shaker ! There is not much decor or style - it's more like "fast food" & the price & quantity are a good value ! But they actually want to go back to try more dishes ! The owner also owns the H Salt Esq. Fish & Chips place next door so you'll see her going back & forth I like that they offer vegan versions & vegetarian dishes !!! so I have many choices there !!

I was craving Indian food, but not a heavy meal before work. I love Indian street food and found this via yelp. It's a small little place with like 4 table and two Aunties running the place. I ordered idly vada platter and the mysore masala dosa. It came with sambar and coconut chutney. The vada was great, but the idly seemed like it was microwaved which causes it to become rubbery and hard. However the dosa was out of this world. I get it Indian spicy because if they perceived you as Gori they will make their spicy mild. It was enough food to fill me up and I had 1/2 the dosa to take with me. Will be back to try other items on their menu. Definitely will be back or at least order to go before between jobs.

It's small outlet with about three tables (seating about 15-ish?). We walked up to the counter and placed an order for the Chaat (paapdi) and Samosa chaat. The paapdi chaat was pretty decent with the crunchy namkeen discs holding up layers of diced potatoes, masala, yogurt, sweet chutney, and chickpeas. Personally, I preferred the samosa chaat. The samosas stayed crispy inspite of the layers of chutney and warm channa masala heaped on top. All in all both the dishes were pretty nice. The confusing part is the paucity of chaat items on the menu. The establishment literally has "chaat" in it's name but you will find only three items under the "Chaat" subsection of the menu; the menu was dominated by lunch/dinner items. I did spy an "Aloo tikki" dish in the menu, I do wonder if it's served as an appetizer instead of as a "chaat". I wish them well and hope they get better with time, and hopefully with more chaat items on the menu.

We were seated immediately and didn't need to look at the menu too long before we ordered. We decided on pani puri and veggie samosas for apps and tikka masala and butter chicken, rice and garlic naan. I ordered a vegan mango lassi and him a regular mango lassi. The pani puri was ok. I like the crispy, but I wasn't too fond of the filling to be chilled. It also had a slight sweetness to it and it wasn't my favorite. I've had it before, but I don't remember it being chilled on the inside, but what I do like about it what is that? It has a crispy shell when you bite into it. The veggie samosas were my favorites. The butter chicken was kind of bland as well as the tikka masala. It did not stop me from finishing my garlic naan with our dishes but I found myself wishing it was more flavorful. My vegan mango lassi had a taste that I wasn't too fond of and didn't finish it. At the end of the meal, it was more than $100 and that was sticker shock for me. I don't think I'm returning, but the service is friendly.

The spacious and open ambience, along with the decor, established the vibe of the cuisine. The servers were welcoming and provided all the necessary plates and utensils for my little children, and there were at least 3-4 different staff members who checked in to make sure we were taken care of. It was an extensive menu with some interesting offerings. The special fried fish appetizer was a highlight and one I would love to try again. In addition, all of the stews/curries were top notch flavor and enjoyable with the rice. Regrettably, the tandori chicken was fairly dry (almost like the pre-cook was beyond what would stand well with the sizzling plate) and the serving size didn't justify the price. Also, the grilled tiger prawns made me question if we actually were receiving tiger prawns - they were quite small and definitely did not justify the price of the entree. Between the staff, the restaurant vibes, and most of the stew/appetizer offerings, this is a very good place that I wouldn't mind suggesting to someone looking for a nice casual place to enjoy Indian. However, there are definitely some spots (all grilled plates) that would encourage me to try other places instead.
