    Finally a good Indian restaurant in the hood! The space is lively with nice decor and nice music playing in the background. The service was prompt, quick and they are attentive. Coming to food - we ordered Baingan chutneywala and paneer kalonji. The chaat did hit the spot - packed with tangy flavor and eggplant was nice and crunchy! The presentation was lovely too. Paneer kalonji was delicious as well. Their menu does have nice fusion items on top of the traditional dishes. I am planning to come again with friends so we get to try other items in the menu. I hope they maintain good quality and taste. We really needed a good Indian restaurant in Edgewater.

    Love this great Indian food!! I love how they give you a complimentary sample of the soup of the day and the food is fresh and flavorful! The service is amazing and the best part is that it's BYOB!! There is a parking lot a few min walk away or you can find street parking. Love the decor and food here

    Got dinner from here Sunday night as takeout. Took around 20 minutes for the food to be ready, which was not bad at all. The waiter was really nice and helpful with assisting us in selecting our dishes. We had the chicken tikka masala, goat kalimirch, naan sampler, and chowk ki tikka. Hands-down, the standout was the goat dish and the chowk ki tikka appetizer. The appetizer was truly a step above all the other food we tried. It was completely out of this world with flavor. It was a mix of potato and goat cheese, but mixed with spices, fresh fruits, like pomegranate, and lots of different textures I would go back and get two of these!! The goat dish entrée was also really good. The meat itself was soft and tender. The chicken tikka masala was great as well just did not live up to the other dishes that we tried. We got a side of the naan sampler which is a classic when getting Indian takeout- fluffy, warm, and perfect for dipping. The inside of the restaurant had super cute decor - I can see this being a great option for a casual date or group/family outing.

    Excellent service. Excellent food. I was especially looking forward to trying the delhi ki kachore which I saw a photo of. It was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

    Had a wonderful dining experience here! The servers were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the soft background music created a relaxing atmosphere. The food presentation was flawless--truly 10/10. Every dish, from the appetizers to the entrée, and even the kheer for dessert, was absolutely delicious. They were also very accommodating with dietary preferences and spice levels, which made the experience even better. Will definitely be coming back!

    Paan Ice Cream

    This place hits all the right notes to make your culinary experience memorable. We visited this place during the memorial day weekend. The pleasant and top notch service that accompanies the wonderful food hits it out of the park. Flavorful, amazing balance of fresh spices and the balance of palates, is a sure sign of wonderful, passionate and skilled chef and his staff. Though the place is not that big, its ambience is welcoming and tastefully done. The dessert paan ice cream along with the gulag jamun and ras mali were superb, true icing on the cake for our lunch. A true 5 star !

    Goat Curry, Chicken Saag, Kafta, samosa. It was all pretty good. I would say it's average Indian food. Perfectly acceptable.

Very spacious restaurant with lots of seatings. We were seated immediately on a Friday night. We all ordered the combo/mix-and-match and the portions were huge!! Loved the seaweed oyster soup and grilled mackerel. Others ordered the LA galbi which was probably one of the best we've had. So flavorful. Seafood pancake was also good. Prices were very reasonable. Staff were very friendly. Service was attentive and fast. Our Korean friend said their kimchi was one of the best she has had. No wonder the restaurant actually sells it in a jar. Only complaint is it's tiny parking in the front but street parking is also available. This restaurant definitely has become one of our favorites.

    Decent food, reasonable prices, and good service overall…read more Gamjatang (4/5): Good portion size. The broth was decent but not great; it leans more on the herbal side and isn't as spicy as other places. Oyster, Seaweed & Beef Soup (3/5): Packed with seaweed, but only came with about 5 oysters and very little beef. The broth had a strong, decent seafood flavor. Fried Spanish Squid (3/5): This wasn't on the menu, but I was excited they could make it since I'd seen photos from 7 months ago. However, it was baby squid rather than the body of the squid. It also felt a bit overcooked, lacking that fresh, chewy texture

I wish she had told us this sooner, as we had to place a new order for my in-laws while we were almost done with our own food. strange that they were out of snow crab legs and dungeness crab so early in the evening and with so few customers. also the restaurant is freezing cold, dingy, and dark, which adds to the over all unpleasant dining experience. definitely skip this place!

Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

Side dishes (fresh kimchi, radish, fish cake, and egg) were AMAZING. Had so many refills. Come here!! FOOD: Premium Soy Marinated Crab (9/10) - Insanely sweet and crab sizes are very generous. Mix the rice in the head, you won't be disappointed Soy Marinated Blue Crab (8/10) - Also really good, but crabs are a bit smaller. Still tastes great with the rice Bibingnaeng (8/10) - Really solid cold noodles with beef, pear, and cucumbers? Great way to finish off the meal.

First time for me, and hopefully not the last. Unfortunately, I live in DC but this will definitely be on the list of favorite restaurants to return to. FOOD: Holy Shabu-moly! The fish cake, veggie, noodle, dumpling, sauce selection was too much. Seriously, I mean that literally. Patrons are paralyzed by the paradox of choice. Fewer options would help me focus on the essentials and allow me more time eating than deciding. Lol. Honestly I wish I would have just focused on ordering the meats. SERVICE: We had a young waiter who was very attentive, professional, accommodating, and understanding. Also, an older gentleman who I can only imagine was a manager, stopped by to fill our water glasses and ensure we were happy with everything. FACILITY: Not exactly what I would call spacious, especially if this restaurant was packed, but it was very comfortable, especially since we had a large wheelchair. The bathrooms were immaculate. VERDICT: Can't wait to come back. Highly recommended.

    THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Great variety of hot pot foods to select from! + Excellent food quality - ALLLL of the meats (e.g., pork belly, pork shoulder, rib eye, prime fatty beef, etc.) and seafood (e.g., clams, shrimp, octopus, etc.) that we ordered were verrrrrry fresh and delicious. + All of the non-meat/seafood items to choose from (e.g., green veggies, fish balls, dumplings, corn, etc.) were also very good. + Everything that you can select from the self-serve refrigerated area to cook was well-organized, maintained and replenished when low. + The number of sauces to choose from will make your head spin ... which is a good thing! + They have 2 self-serve ice cream machines. One that serves vanilla and green tea ice cream and the other that serves vanilla and mango sorbet. And alll of the ice cream and sorbet were SUPER refreshing. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Friendly and cordial waiters. + Waiters consistently visited us to see how we were doing and to check on if we needed more meat or seafood. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior with lots of tables. + Private parking lot in the front and to the side. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- + Even on a Monday late morning to early afternoon, there were 4-5 tables occupied, including us. Considering how good the food is here, I can totally see this spot getting very busy on weekends. + As of April 2026, the all you can eat pricing is very reasonable with it ranging from $18.95 - $35.95, depending on the time of day (lunch or dinner), day of the week (weekday or weekend/holiday) and whether you want to include meats and seafood (which I TOTALLY recommend).
