    a table full of food
    Jasmine G.

    The food was amazing. There's not one thing I ordered that I didn't love! Be open to trying new food and you'll enjoy! Butter chicken was moist and flavorful, the broth was yum even to spread it over rice. Mango lassi was delish. Twas a milkshake and smoothie combination, and it's healthy too. Make sure to brining cash for small orders of food. There's also a grocery store connected! Feels very home like inside.

We all work for a…read morehigh tech $26 billion global manufacturing company in Buffalo Grove, so, what a blessing that this restaurant is only 20 minutes from our plant! My Indian coworker (who's originally from New Delhi), chose this place for our team dinner (her husband had dined at this restaurant's Chicago location with his company colleagues recently, and gave them a glowing review)! Anyway, we LOVED the awesome food, service and ambience here and will DEFINITELY be back! For appetizers, we had the Spring Rolls, Gobi 65 (a spicy curry cauliflower dish, which my boss surprisingly really liked--given that she said cauliflower wasn't really a favorite vegetable of hers), and the Keema Samosas (triangular pastries stuffed with ground-cooked lamb)! For entrees, I had the Lamb Dahiwala and Jheera Rice; my boss had the Chicken Mint Masala; and our Indian colleague had the Dal Makhani (a popular dark lentils dish, which she generously shared with my boss and me)! For drinks, I had a Mango Lassi; my boss had a huge bottle of Taj Mahal Beer (which she really liked)!!! All the food was so fresh, flavorful, perfectly cooked, plus served quickly and efficiently! Our server was very pleasant, knowledgeable, efficient and attentive to all our needs!! We ended up being one of the very last parties to leave the restaurant that night! Anyway, we definitely plan on coming back here soon!!!

Growing up, there weren't any Indian places to get food from, so when I saw an Indian restaurant, I was excited! I have been living in Orlando for the last 20 years and I eat Indian food at least once a week. I am also spoiled to have an Indian grocery store nearby and I purchase a large box of frozen samosas so I can throw them in the air fryer whenever I have a craving in front of the TV at night. I was getting ready to leave downtown and head back toward my niece's house and wanted a small snack to hold me over for the hour drive. I decided to try this restaurant for a unique combination of Indian and Pakistani food. I ordered one of my favorite dishes, Samosa chaat. I was very specific and asked for it to be vegan. In the meantime, I needed to use the restroom. As I made my way towards the back of the restaurant, my shoes began to stick to the floor. This was quite a bit of a turn off but I dismissed it as perhaps a mess that wasn't able to be thoroughly cleaned yet. When I went into the ladies room, there was no toilet paper. I had to go back out into the restaurant and ask for toilet paper which seemed to be a small ordeal for them. Needless to say, the toilet paper situation was resolved and I discovered a sticky floor in the bathroom as well. I started second guessing my choice of a place to eat. Again, I dismissed it And went to sit down at my table where the floor was sticky yet again. I should've left at this point. I looked around the restaurant and I noticed that there were three other tables of people eating the food and chose to stay because of that fact. When I received the Samosa chaat it was smothered in both tamarind and cilantro chutney (most cilantro chutneys are made using yogurt and I requested a vegan entree...unsure if this chutney had yogurt.) The samosas were made out of wonton wrappers and deep fried. The potato used inside was completely flavorless with some being so overcooked it was like mashed potatoes and some being so undercooked, they were as hard as rocks. There was no spice. My nose should've been running while I was trying to eat this. The channa masala on the dish was tasty but cold. The red onions had the most flavor of all of the ingredients on the plate. But I couldn't get passed the potatoes and left 85% of the dish uneaten. (I failed to get a photo ) I am thoroughly disappointed and bummed out that I couldn't find good Indian food in my hometown after all these years. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the large Indian population in Orlando. I shared my critique with the gentleman who took my money and I was told that they would try to do better next time. Well, there will not be a next time.

The chef's menu is unique, creative, and offers items for everyone's palette! Tables are all marble and spaced nicely from one another. Serving dishes and platings are classic Punjabi style giving the meal a heightened experience. Servers are friendly, knowledgeable about the food and give you time and space for you to enjoy your meal. Appetizer: Singh's Wings - Mukhni sauced. Tender, flavorful, medium spiced and very enjoyable. 5 Entrees: Saag Chicken-Balanced flavor, not spicy, generous amount of chicken. 3.5 Singh's Biryani- chicken, shrimp and potato served in a stone warm pot. Plentiful amount and a nice flavor profile. 4 Tandoori Seekh Kabob - made with lamb meat, spicy and sizzling on a bed of onions. Really portioned nicely and delicious with paratha's! 5 Desert: Moong Dahl Halwa - A definite must try! Very smooth and nice buttery flavor. 5 Chai masala after dinner was nice but had way too much masala for us. My husband is from Punjab and we understand the authentic taste of these items. I think you can ask to adjust the masala according to your taste. 2
