We were staying at a nearby hotel and walked over to this restaurant…read more When we first walked in, we thought that it was just a takeout place because it has a counter for food that you can pick up and go, but there is also a dining room where you can sit down to eat. I got chicken tikki masala, and my husband ordered lamb korma - we also got garlic naan The servers were nice. But the rice, garlic naan, and my tiki masala came out first and my husband had to sit there and wait for several minutes until finally his food came out. That was weird... and while his rice sat there getting cold waiting for the korma, I hated to start eating while he sat there and waited for his food. The Big problem was that he did not get LAMB korma, but GOAT korma...and the meat was full of bones! This is something that my husband absolutely hates! The flavors were OK, but we have had better Indian food in many other restaurants in Cleveland.

The dine-in experience was great - I would recommend it The food was so so so good! We also ordered samosas, mango lassi drink, and cheese stuffed garlic naan - which were to die for. The samosas were a tad overcooked, but still delicious. I will say, my boyfriend and I ordered the same spicy level for our dishes (I'm white, he's not) and my food was significantly less spicy than his It was still really good, even though it wasn't as spicy as I wanted it to be. So keep that in mind when ordering! Our waitress was kind and attentive. They played Indian music & music videos on the TV. Everything was clean and it wasn't too loud or quite inside. Overall rating: 4.8/5 stars

The vibe is trendy so the restaurant is extremely dark and loud, but has some nice unique modern decor.

Our favorites were lentil donuts and crispy puris. Everything was unique and creative with fun strong flavors and nice presentation.

During the times I've gone, I've had the beet root raita, clay bread, lentil donuts, Turkish eggs, chicken tikka, lamb kibba, roasted eggplant, and ghee shrimp. Our favorites were the lamb kibba, chicken tikka, and roasted eggplant. The lentil donuts definitely had a unique flavor profile, hard for me to label if it was more savory from the lentils or sweet from the coconut chutney. Shrimp was okay but definitely preferred the other dishes over it. The ambience of the place was definitely great--indoors is dimly lit, modern, with decor that reminded you of an eclipse. Seating outside was also nice and felt more casual with natural lighting. Both indoors/outdoors seemed like a good place to come with friends, share dishes, and chat. Parking available via free street parking or paid garage parking--I have had to circle around before I found a free spot. Overall good if you're looking with a place with small shareable dishes with a modern ambience.

The biryani chicken usually comes with the chicken bone in, this did not which was surprising. Flavor was pretty bland. Their take on butter chicken was like nothing I've had before where I actually thought I had the wrong order. Not a fan. The mixed pickled veggies were thrown away immediately after trying. The only thing I enjoyed was the garlic naan! Portions were also very large. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be returning here.

I came with a large group- 11 other women from a foodie women's group I am a part of - for a birthday celebration in August 2026. We made reservations in advance and didn't have any trouble finding availability for that day and time. The interior is very large and there is lots of seating. We had a designated server who took our orders and waited on us and he was very friendly! I didn't buy a drink but I tried a friend's mango lassi which was so creamy and rich! I thought about getting myself a masala chai but was too cheap to. I ordered myself a basket of tandoori roti which was glazed with butter ($4) to start off with. Others at my table ordered appetizers as well, including someone who bought a flight of pani puri. This flight made for great pictures! For my main, I got the Pubjabi chicken dish, medium spice, which came with a side of basmati rice ($20). Everyone who tried sone of my dish loved it, as did I! I was very happy with my choice. I also had enough for leftovers, although granted, I was filled up on roti bread. To our surprise, our waiter surprised us all with two servings of their signature Indian dessert, gulab jamon, for a complimentary birthday treat! I love gulab jamon, which are small honey balls of spongey cake, and have had them many times before. The gratuity was included automatically due to the size of our party. My check came out to about $32, which is not bad for how good the food and the service was! I highly recommend dining here for yourself. There's plenty of room for large parties!

This place serves up some tasty fusion vittles. We requested two different lassis - the mango and the sweet. They were both very tasty. We were also given water. For dinner, we requested tandoori chicken pizza, Amritsari fish fry, and hariyali kabob. A little while later, the food arrived. It looked really appetizing. The hariyali kabobs had an incredible flavor and the fruity, spicy sauce was delicious. Loved those. The fish fry was tasty and also came with a yummy sauce. The pizza had a great flavor as well and I really liked it. I would like to try other pizzas and other dishes. We'll definitely be back because this place has a menu worth exploring. Yum!

We enjoyed a Gobi Manchurian appetizer, a spicy deep-fried cauliflower dish. Again, an excellent dish! I ordered the Blu Basil mixed grill with two varieties of chicken, lamb kabob, and shrimp. Absolutely delicious and a massive amount of food. Somehow I managed to finish, probably because it was just so good! My wife enjoyed the shrimp and scallop do piazza dish and the results were similar. Terrific flavor and a very ample portion! If you enjoy Indian food, do not miss this amazing establishment. Well worth the visit!

There were a bunch of regulars sitting at the counter and chatting it up with the servers. We grabbed a table and were greeted right away. The server checked on us often but didn't smother us.

Between us, we had scrambled eggs with cheese, eggs fried over-medium, bacon, French toast, pancakes and potatoes. Everything was decent. I wished that the cheese had been cooked into the scrambled eggs and allowed to melt, but that was okay. Also, the texture of the breakfast potatoes were like mashed potatoes that had been smashed and burned on the flattop grill. We weren't a fan of those. Overall, the place was cute and quaint and the staff was friendly. Everything was priced very reasonably as well. Also, anywhere you can find the locals at is usually a good sign!
