    Cold samosas and hard rice with old chicken on top.
    Palapala E.

    Cold samosas?? Really? I have never ordered samosas that were not fresh out of the hot oil. When I ordered online I was expecting FRESH FOOD. The Chili Garlic 65 Chicken covering crunchy rice was a complete disappointment. The grilled pita had a weird smell to it. The vegetable samosas were refrigerator cold. I have never had Indian cuisine this bad. The service was slow. I had to ring the bell twice before someone came to the front. The restaurant was clean in the dining area. No tissue in the bathroom, so you may have to go to Starbucks to use the restroom as I did.

    New York Style Chicken & Lamb Mix (Top #1 Seller)

    The food is always amazing here. I've tried the mango lassi, I've tried their Chinese food, but my favorite menu item of all is the combo chicken and lamb rice mix. get the extra white sauce, extra meat, and extra red sauce because you're gonna need it . The service is always very fast, and if there is a wait, I don't mind because there's an area where you can sit and play games inside the building. I love they recently renovated the building and expanded to include that area.

    Very flavorful and great value. Service was friendly and they do have dining in as well.

    Lamb and New York Style Chicken Rice Platter

    I like this very city like urban concept of walk up window for quick pick up for lunch. We grabbed a couple of dishes and they were all flavorful- would highly recommend Jamaican patty (we only got one but menu says two included) chicken and lamb New York style bowl and a butter chicken. The rice is perfection (not too sticky, every grain individual) - token Indian appreciation for this alone. The New York style bowl is flavorful however I wish there was just a little more sauce New York style. It's a perfect pick up for lunch or dinner and if you call ahead you don't really have to park either- they're located right by the rail road tracks so if you're using gps tracks it'll loop you around.

    Always consistently good. Between the rice, the seasoned meat and the sauces on top. It's always delicious. The portions are huge as well.

    Every time I try a new food item here it's so good. Fav place for Indian food. The service has gotten better and better with time. Their new interior restaurant is very casual Ambiance. Small space but great food.

    Butter Lamb and Samosa
    DeMario M.

    This is one of my favorite places to get Indian food. The butter chicken is always on point. Today I had the butter lamb..OMG!!! The samosas are always great too-- dip them in the butter chicken sauce.. thank me later

    Samosas!
    Carolyn E.

    We ordered catering for lunch through ezcater, and it was almost perfect - they just forgot the baklava! A little sad, but the charge was immediately removed, so no harm done. The food was hot, fresh and on time otherwise. We had: veggie samosas, Jamaican beef patties, the NY style chicken and rice platter, butter chicken and veggie curry. The samosas were ok, but needed more seasoning, and I was sad that they didn't come with a tamarind dipping sauce. I will ask next time! The beef patties were slightly spicy and flavorful - perfect. The NY style chicken and rice was very popular - I think I'll get that again. The veggie curry was fine, but not excellent, but the butter chicken was tender and tasty. Overall, a very nice lunch option, especially if you're tired of the traditional sandwich/salad type spread. Will order regularly; generous portions.

    Lamb Pita
    Starvel D.

    I had the lamb pita & it was delicious. The bread is nwarm and soft. The meat is flavorful and tender. The lettuce was fresh. I wish they would've added a little more sauce. Next time, I will definitely get some on the side. I came for dine in because according to Google they offered that, however when I got there they only have takeout. FYI, you order outside then wait so be prepared. There were a few tables outside for dining.

    The thing that strikes me the most about this restaurant is the quality of the ingredients they…read moreused. They used bluefin tuna extensively along with real crab. It's little changes like that that elevate the dish beyond other regular sushi offerings. It was so appreciated! We ordered the spicy tuna roll. It had the excellent tuna and then they put yum sauce on it. That was odd because it masked the beautiful taste of the bluefin tuna, and that made it a miss for me. If you order, do yourself a favor and tell them no sauce. The dragon roll had real snow crab inside and eel and avocado on top. This also had a crunchy topping that I would tell them to hold if I did it again. It didn't really add anything to the dish and it obscurred the taste of the tender eel a bit. Not until I broke open a piece to isolate the snow crab could I truly appreciate the delicate flavor. It got a little lost inside the vibrant roll. The red dragon roll was well balanced and exactly what I was expecting. The bluefin tuna could easily shine on top of this roll. And it did. It was rich and succulent. The tigerlilly roll was lovely and topped with salmon and roe. It says on the menu it was torched. Ours was not. It was perfect the way we got it though, so I wouldn't change anything. I also ordered eel sashimi and the avocado, asparagus and cucumber roll for something refreshing. We all shared the rolls as we had drinks at the bar. Our bartender was attentive, friendly, and brought the sushi along with serving us our drinks. The lychee martini was a hit. What an interesting and slightly tart flavor! It was a light-hearted and fun time and I would go back in a heartbeat .

    tl;dr chicken katsu sando was fantastic, would come back to try the other sandwiches. Classic rolls…read morewere also solid, but given the limited number of classic rolls, would probably not return for sushi alone. Service (4.75/5): Our main server was very friendly and gave us a good overview of the menu as it was our first time. They were great and attentive. We were also served by a second server who dropped off our food and disappeared so quickly that we waited a while before they walked by again. When we finally got the chance to ask for soy sauce and sauce dishes, they grabbed the soy sauce from a nearby table and left before we could even get to asking for the sauce dishes. Nothing terrible, but we did feel a little awkward. Food (4/5): Sushi was both good and not good. Of the 3 rolls we ordered, the salmon avocado and tuna avocado were solid; the proportion of fish to rice was great and the fish quality was above average from your typical sushi restaurant. However, the Tigerlily was quite disappointing, especially at $22 for the roll. The roll was torched a bit too long, cooking the salmon almost all the way, but my main gripe was a mysterious creamy sauce that was drizzled on top. The roll ended up being way too heavy and the sauce overpowered the salmon and the little bit of ikura that was sprinkled on top. On the other hand, the chicken katsu sando was really excellent. Chicken was juicy, breading was light and crispy, and the fries were well-seasoned. My only suggestion for the kitchen is to slice the sandwich vertically instead of horizontally; you can see that the bread on half of the sandwich was mostly crust/air instead of the actual bread part. Ambiance (4/5): It's got an upscale, modern feel to it that would probably make a nice environment for a date night or catching up with friends over happy hour. I was there on a Tuesday evening, so it wasn't crowded. There was music playing but it wasn't too loud, so it was easy to have a conversation.

Almost $190.00 for 2 mocktails, 2 appetizers (as meals) Miso soup, a sushi burrito and 3 rolls one of those was just a tuna roll also - it was exxxxpennnnsive...and just 'okay'. The lettuce wraps were mostly carrots and had little flavor, same with the soup. It all seemed like it just needed 'a little something extra' to make it pop! It was also incredibly dark inside the restaurant as well. It gave a very moody/broody vibe which might be cool for a date-night, but it makes it a tad difficult to read a menu.

The atmosphere is another reason I keep coming back. It's modern, clean, and has that perfect balance of chill and lively. Great for a casual dinner, date night, or meeting up with friends. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently on point. There's just something about Inyo that keeps it at the top of my list.

And whoever mops the floors must have an irrational childhood fear of cleaning corners. Although the floors themselves are clean, each corner has a disgusting black buildup of filth. Likewise, the sinks in the bathroom. They have not been cleaned well in a very long time. Food: the beef roll pie is delicious. The marinated beef is OK but should be served cold, not room temperature. The steamed dumplings were OK too. However, the noodle dishes were oily, bland, flavorless, and just seasoned with a sweet brown sauce. Further, there is almost no meat to be found in the noodle dishes. What I had looked to be scraps. I paid three dollars extra to have the wide hand cut noodle. It was basically served raw to me. Service: this place has no concept of service. Food comes out haphazardly. First I got my entrée, then my daughter got her entree, then we got two appetizers. Sometime later, my son got his entrée, and the steamed dumplings came. Never once was an empty dish taken away, and never once was a water glass refilled. Service here is absolutely awful. Other than the beef roll pie, there isn't a single redeeming quality about this place. The food is awful, the service is terrible, all surfaces are sticky and dirty. Avoid this place at all cost.
