I think this might be the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. Overall, this place is fantastic. My…read moreactual rating would be 4.5 out of 5, but I couldn't justify taking away a full star, so I'm rounding up to five since Yelp still doesn't allow half stars. I'm not sure how we didn't find out about this place until almost a year after it opened. Apparently, they've been around since July 2025. The interior of the restaurant looks clean and nice. I already want to go back to dine-in sometime and I'm interested in their weekend buffet. We ordered takeout on a Tuesday for dinner and chose Medium spice for everything. I got the Butter Chicken, and I think it was the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. For the price, I was hoping the portion would be just slightly larger, but taste-wise, it was absolutely amazing. We also ordered the Wet Chicken 65 and really enjoyed that as well. The portion size was pretty decent for this. I would order it again, but I'm also very interested in trying the Chicken 555 next time. My wife got the Szechuan Noodles with Chicken and liked them. I tried some and liked them too. The noodles come in a great sized portion. My Butter Chicken came with rice, but I had to order Garlic Naan separately for an extra $4.50. The Garlic Naan was fantastic, but I was disappointed by how little came with the order for almost $5. Next time, I would be tempted to order two, but then the price starts increasing pretty dramatically. Basically, if you're ordering more than one curry style dish, you'll probably need multiple orders of Garlic Naan unless you're fine eating everything with rice or on its own. During the week, it seems like the restaurant doesn't open until 5 pm. I get it... it's probably slow between lunch hour and 5pm. But it was a little frustrating because we like to pick up takeout shortly after work. When I tried placing the order around 4:45, the earliest available pickup time wasn't until 5:30pm. I really wish they allowed customers to schedule online orders for pickup at 5pm or even 5:15. They do not charge a service fee, which is a big deal for restaurants in 2026. There was no credit card fee either. That also contributed to why I rounded the rating up to five stars. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying this place. It will likely become our new regular Indian unless we want to eat earlier and don't want to wait until 5:30. I wish the Garlic Naan portion was larger, and that the Butter Chicken came with a little more food for the price, but the food is still fantastic.

You can get better authentic foods at other joints. Save your money and go somewhere else there's better food than this place!

It's a grocery store with a butcher shop and then the deli counter in the back of the market. There was a line of about 6 people and after we lined up, more people waiting. The person ordering ahead of me was telling me that he was getting the whole fried tilapia and plantains, which was his favorite. Not gonna lie, sure did look good! We ordered the red okra stew, collard greens, and goat soup. They offer regular and large sizes and your choice of fufu or rice. Also ordered the fried plantains and a meat pie. The guy behind the counter was friendly and helpful. He let us know which ones contained peanuts (my son has a peanut allergy) and which ones were considered spicy (goat stew) but since I love spicy foods, I didn't mind. My review of the food: -Red Okra with fish and fufu: delicious, greasy, and flavorful. Be careful because the fish was a big chunk and still had bones. -Collard greens with meat and fufu: I think meat was chicken. Our favorite dish of all of them. Flavorful, greasy, and delicious. -Goat Stew and rice: so full of meat (with bones). The Goat chunks remind me of pork belly (fatty, chewy, flavorful). This stew was spicy. Strong goat flavor. Had habanero peppers. -plantains: they gave us so much! Starchy and sweet. Yummy -meat pie: was just ok. Felt a little dry. Overall good experience. Food was so flavorful and full of spices. A little more greasier than how I normally like to eat but the grease also helped with eating the fufu. Total bill was about $60. Was enough food to feed about 5-6 people. No seating area. Everything is packaged for to-go orders.

The Gobi 65 was extremely spicy, heavily topped with chilli powder. We ended up scratching off the top layer to remove the spices but it didn't help. The chole in chole bhature was also much spicier to the point where it overpowered all the other flavors. The bhature was very doughy inside and tasted like it had been fried in oil that had been reused many times. We also ordered aloo paratha which had very little filling approximately only about 10% with most bites being just plain dough. This was one of the worst Indian dining experiences we've had. We kept hoping at least one of the dishes would be nice, but unfortunately every item we ordered was disappointing. I hope the restaurant can improve the quality of these dishes.

It feels like the focus has shifted much more toward the buffet, and the takeout experience has suffered as a result. The online ordering process was confusing because the only pickup times available were 4 PM or 6 PM. We would've loved to eat at 5 PM, as that's usually when we get takeout orders when we eat out. We chose the 4 PM slot, but when I arrived 5 minutes early...the order was already sitting out waiting. That immediately raised concerns about how long it had been sitting there. When I got home, some of the food was much cooler than expected for freshly prepared takeout, which only added to those concerns. I ended up needing to reheat several items as I was afraid from a food safety perspective. The pickup experience itself was also awkward. I stood waiting at the front for about 30 seconds while employees were nearby, but nobody acknowledged me. Eventually someone yelled "hello" from literally across the restaurant. After I responded and said I was there for a pickup order, there was very little communication. They looked at me confused. The employee then walked away and eventually returned with my order. The interaction felt confusing and unwelcoming. I was also disappointed by the portion sizes, especially considering current menu prices. On top of that, there is an additional service fee for online orders, which makes the value feel even worse. Overall, this visit left us feeling like the restaurant isn't prioritizing its takeout customers the way it used to. Between the confusing pickup process, concerns about how long the food sat before pickup, smaller portions, and added fees, were hesitant to order takeout here again. It's sad, because if you look at my previous reviews of this place, I use to enjoy it.

They do a high volume of take out so those can take precedence over your order at times depending on time of day but the food generally overall is good. Overall, the menu options are good and savory however, the buffet which is a big push here does not offer a lot of variety at times and depending on the time of day, some of the dishes are missing or empty. Also, depending on the dish it can be really salty so be sure to ask for no additional salt to be added if ordering off menu. The Naan is very good as is the Dosa which are HUGE and delish!
