We saw the good reviews for this place that was within walking distance of our hotel (not an easy…read morewalk due to lack of sidewalks). We love Indian food and had not had it in awhile. No one was in the restaurant when we arrived for dinner so the service was prompt and friendly. We ordered a big bottle of Flying Horse beer. They served complimentary papadam with a selection of sauce and "sort of" a green salad which was unusual for most Indian restaurants we've been to. For our mains we ordered the chicken vindaloo and Channa masala. Both were very tasty and the right spiciness as ordered. We also got some naan and raita. Thumbs up for the food. The restaurant got a bit busier, maybe a quarter filled, and that is when the service slipped. We asked for the check at least three times before it was brought out. We waited15 minutes... Minus one star.

But this restaurant is amazing. The food was phenomenal. We love Indian food but this was on another level. We tried 4 different kinds of naan, all pillowy and fresh and so good with all the different sauces. Garlic was our fave. The rice is perfect, the chicken melts in your mouth, and for the most adventurous among us the goat was loved. Do yourself a favor if you're in the Youngstown area stop here, if you're just driving though stop here. Ignore everything around it. Super friendly service and crazy good fresh authentic food!

The first few times I ignored it, but after it happened again, I called the restaurant and informed them about the issue, hoping they would improve their food hygiene. Unfortunately, it has happened again. Finding hair in food once can be a mistake, but four times shows a serious lack of quality control and cleanliness. This is unacceptable, especially when customers are paying for their meals. I hope the management takes food safety and hygiene more seriously so that other customers do not have the same experience. I will not be ordering from here again.

I'm no expert in food of these regions. Much less food from Nepal. All I know is that I enjoyed the food. I was full and I wanted to keep eating :-) You should try them. They are worth a visit.

My MIL who can't take spice didn't like that the spice levels are a bit inconsistent. One order that was mild was spicier than one that was hot. Descriptions of dishes could be better but that's not atypical of Indian cuisine. Tandoori was a bit saucier/wet for one mixed grill (medium spice) dish. The other mixed grill (mild) didn't look to have this issue. Everything was delicious though, and I would definitely return.

I jumped up to get the hot liquid away from my skin and I think I startled the waitress, I didn't mean to upset her. But i did. I'm so so sorry about that.

Both reservations and walk-ins are available. My husband and I arrived at opening time for lunch, and many tables were available. One table was dirty, so we sat at a different one. Throughout our meal, two employees kindly served us. The menu listed many meat, seafood, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, and the spiciness levels were customizable. I saw chaat, tadoori, biryani, dosa, and more. Prices were reasonable. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Mixed Vegetable Curry - 4.5 stars - I requested a spiciness level of medium, and the cook prepared it accordingly. The ingredients appeared to include green beans, peas, carrots, cauliflower, potato, onion, tomato, clove, cinnamon, ginger, and garlic. The serving size was generous, so I could have had leftovers for a latter meal. Chicken Saag - 4.5 stars - My husband usually orders Saag Paneer, but he chose chicken this time. Other ingredients included spinach, fenugreek, ginger, and garlic. He chose a spiciness level of mild, and the cook prepared it as such. He said that it was "tasty" and "very good" and that he would happily eat at this restaurant again in the future. The side of basmati rice was cooked pefectly. Garlic Naan - 5 stars - My husband described this garlic naan as "Oh, wow! Very flavorful! Crunchy but not overdone."

We enjoyed a Gobi Manchurian appetizer, a spicy deep-fried cauliflower dish. Again, an excellent dish! I ordered the Blu Basil mixed grill with two varieties of chicken, lamb kabob, and shrimp. Absolutely delicious and a massive amount of food. Somehow I managed to finish, probably because it was just so good! My wife enjoyed the shrimp and scallop do piazza dish and the results were similar. Terrific flavor and a very ample portion! If you enjoy Indian food, do not miss this amazing establishment. Well worth the visit!
