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.

There was one customer waiting, and not another person. I waited about ten minutes. My son loves chicken Tikka masala, so we ordered him some. It is spicy. I'm into a moderate spice, and this is burning my lips as I type. There was no option when ordering online to determine level of spice so we weren't ready for that. Beyond the spice the chicken was tough, so even if the spice was toned down the chicken wasn't great. The tandoori chicken is nice and flavorful and tender. $17 for three drumsticks and two thighs might be a bit steep. Overall not an overwhelmingly good experience.

The restaurant is clean, well decorated and ready for your visit! The staff are super friendly. I drove home with my order and it was piping hot and spectacular. Chicken tikka is spicy, mildly sweet and so delicious. A great way to conquer allergy season! The paneer butter masala had a lot of paneer.

Papdi chaat was $7.99, cholle tikki and aloo tikki were $8.99 each, dabeli was $5.99, both Curry were $13.99 each. Order got ready in 20 mins after placing order in evening. Everything was good, I wouldn't say exceptional though. Dabeli was missing pomegranate. Paneer handi was little bit on oily side. Best is the malai kofta of all. Curry comes with decent amount of rice. Note that they are closed on Sun between 3-5pm. Usually website order has 5% off on above $10, you can utilize that too.

I tried the Ulavacharu soup--absolutely delicious. It's main ingredient is horse gram, which apparently is in the legume family. It wasn't like any soup I've had before, so description is a bit tough. It was fairly spicy to start with, but less so as I kept eating it. The only things I could identify was ground up horse gram, some sweet onions, and some thinly shaved ginger, but it had a lot of complexity. Highly recommend that and the rose milk (especially if you need some relief from the spiciness when you start out.) I had a little bit of my friend's butter chicken sauce, and that was excellent too. More heavily tomato-based than I'm used to, but a lot of depth of flavor. I'd happily order that in the future. I can't wait to come back and try their buffet when my diet restrictions are over :) Service was great. I asked if a few of the menu items have coconut in them since I'm allergic, and our server double checked with the kitchen for me and was very nice about it. Really pretty dining room as well. The location isn't as central as I'd like, but that does make it easy to find parking in the lot. Definitely recommend!

Meet a few friends and we tried various dishes. The restaurant was clean and quaint inside with several tables and booths. There was one person working the dining area and they got busy by the time we left. As a table shareable items were the creamy Brussels sprout and the Kothey momo (dumplings), main dish I got the Tandoori Salmon and it was delicious. When they were walking out with the sizzling skillet I was thinking who ordered this?! And it was me. lol the Brussels sprouts had a great flavor and I enjoyed this as well as the momos. Overall I enjoyed the food and would recommend if you're in the area. The menu is quite extensive so be prepared to make some tuff choices. The restrooms were a bit odd as they seemed to be not fully built out, almost an after thought? Perhaps.

I started with the Nepali Chiya (chai) it was sweeter, nicely spiced and made in house! I highly recommend it for any chai lovers. For starters we ordered the creamy Brussel sprouts which had a nice tangy taste and were surprisingly great! I've never had creamy Brussels but it's now one of my favorites. We also went with the momo (Nepali Dumplings. We went with the Kothey momos which you can choose from veg or chicken ($9) and they come with 5 served with a dipping sauce. These were another hit! The sauce was served room temp and not spicy at all. Very well balanced. For my main I went with the lamb biriyani! And great selection! The rice could have been a bit more seasoned but overall 9/10. My friend got the salmon and it looked amazing! This place is really cute and spacious! Plenty of seating, quick and friendly service and lots of parking since it's in a shopping center!

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.

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, all of which had generous portions: - Aloo tikki chaat - prepared and served fresh, this street food delicacy was a delight to try and a great start to our meal. - Spinach pakoras were crunchy, hot and tasty. Our party of 4 devoured this appetizer. - Hariyali Chicken Kebab - this was not what I expected. It was served with a gravy like a curry, when I'd expected a dry kebab dish from the grill. It was not my favorite. - Malai Kofta - yum! Not oily, just perfect. - Aloo Naan - very good, though I would've preferred paratha and was surprised that parathas weren't on the menu in a Punjabi restaurant.
