First visit, on a Monday, so pretty quiet dining. Pretty basic setup with menus and drinks,…read morefriendly staff was attentive and welcoming. The Hop Queen ordered the non-veg lunch special, butter chicken, and I ordered the Vindaloo (spicy), as this is my usual litmus test for a new Indian restaurant. Everything was prepared fresh for us, nothing tasted like it had been prepped before we arrived. Lots of fresh spice flavour, and the naan was a bit different (in a good way) from other places - nice texture and crunch with the flavour. Lots of interesting looking items on menu, it was a nice touch that almost all were ID'd with a specific region in India. Would be fun to work through the menu and try different items!

Kids love the butter chicken. We've also catered from them 2-3 times for large parties 100 people and it was all really good. While the restaurant and food are good, their outside, parking smells of gutter. It's quite a stink. They don't have a business next to them. Not sure what that is however seems like a health hazard. The city should definitely check.

The gentleman who helped me said I could call him Kanny he gave me his given name, but I was not sure how to spell it. He even brought my food to my car. He was very nice. Helpful in terms of giving me ideas of dishes that have been very successful. I ended up ordering a sampler. I was able to choose an appetizer. I also chose a curry then there was naan bread or roti. He told me the spice level would be somewhere between mild and medium at the baseline so I left it at that until I try their food . I really didn't want anything more than this samosas for lunch so I saved the bulk of the order for my dinner . My dinner was very flavorful. The Chicken Curry was tasty, the rice perfectly done. Light and not sticky at all! It was spicy. There was lots of bell pepper which provided some texture. I enjoyed it . The Naan didn't taste homemade- I'll have to ask if it was. Not as flavorful but it was good. Overall I enjoyed my meal and want to try more menu items. I'll definitely return!

The food is still fresh, tasty, and prepared to order. Heat levels are always spot on and customized for the person ordering.

It even has table service. I ordered the Tikka Masala with lamb. I was asked my spice level and I chose medium. I probably could have gotten the spicy but I prefer to enjoy the flavor over the spice level. There was lots of lamb, so no skimping. I also had the garlic Naan and rice. As usual, it all worked together perfectly. Thank you Rana for the hospitality and Madi for the suggestion.

I am a sucker for hole in the wall places at gas stations so I saw from Google a place at the Quick Mart at Bagdad and Hero Way that had good reviews for Indian food. So I gave it a try and so glad I did! I got their Classic Chicken Tikka Masala - Spicy and could not be more pleased! Great portion and flavor so spot on and spice level perfect! Good job Quick Mart Leander!!! I will be back.

I sort of suspect the same folks, or relatives/friends own this place, because the food is VERY similar. I have tried many of the vegetarian and non-vegetarian main dishes, appetizers, breads, etc. and it's a bit less expensive, but just as great IMHO. And as I originally wrote when I reviewed the original owner, it's in a a GAS STATION!! You can't go wrong with either place.

The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced without being heavy. The biryani came in giant portions and stood out with a unique flavor profile that set it apart from the usual versions. The samosas were solid and classic, while the pepper chicken brought a nice, satisfying spice. The chicken korma was especially memorable--different from most versions we've tried, in a really good way. The restaurant is quiet and relaxed for dinner, making it a great spot to actually enjoy your meal and company with your loved ones. Portions are large and great for lunch the next day. Located in a busy shopping center with several popular restaurants, this one truly deserves more love. We'll definitely be back.

Please remember they make their dishes per order and this takes time. A good curry or biryani is not made in 15 minutes. We ordered several dishes. To start we had the samosas, pakoras, and my child had the children's chicken lollypop appetizer. For the main dishes we had the hydrabadi chicken biryani, aloo chole, and my child had the keema child's biryani. We also had the mint cilantro chutney and it reminds me of homemade chutney. All were very flavorful and very fresh. My aloo was served with a good portion of rice. All the portions were large. We ate here on Sunday and we still have leftover biryani and I'm finishing my aloo. One thing we noticed that was odd compared to where I usually visit was the server. They were kind of awkward at first and had the "melinneal stare." BUT consider that people can be neurodivergent! The service was great and prompt. It was a bit warm, but the server heard our comments and went and moved a big fan they had out to combat how warm it was. I highly recommend trying them out! To the chefs - please please please put the tomato dahl you have on your online ordering! I'd come here weekly to taste your version.

The ambiance was wonderful, with plenty of outdoor seating, fairy lights, and a large bounce house for kids to enjoy while you eat. I ordered the Guntur Masthan Goat Fry Pulao and asked for the food to be extra spicy -- they did not disappoint! Usually when I request extra spicy food from Indian restaurants they take into account the fact I am American and water down the spice (which drives me crazy). This truck made it perfectly spicy, flavorful, and delicious! The goat was tender and the staff were friendly; I highly recommend this place and will be returning to try another dish.
