Fresh puri and plenty of sauces, fresh rice and a very nice spread of Indian favorites. I really enjoyed everything they had to offer and especially the vegetarian options such as dhal and paneer. Great service and the only caveat is that any naan is purchased separately as it's not included in the ayce price. You can also just order fresh plates of any combination off their à la carte menu. We opted for the lunch buffet and were very satisfied and both price point and quality were excellent. The restaurant itself is nice with great ambiance and plenty of seating. There's also plenty of beverage options. We've been back twice already and anticipate many more visits.

Favorites included the lamb chops, the boursin potatoes were beyond delicious. And the amul stuffed paratha. Chicken biryani and Chicken tandoori were middle of the road.

There's a lot more on menu I want to try and I will be back! Dress code is a little unknown, some diners were dressed nicer and others were in sweatpants. Not sure what the vibe is for the evening. Service, they were quick to clear (not finished) dishes but left waters unfilled until asked but attentive enough for a small space.

Everything was delicious, but my favorite dish was the Aloo Gobi Masala - potatoes, cauliflower, and a mildly spiced tomato sauce. Service was great and we literally finished every bite. Definitely recommend checking it out!

The spiciness is perfect and doesn't overpower the dish. When I ordered for people who couldn't handle the heat their mild prepared dishes were equally tasty. I have been inside the restaurant and it is a modest space with a few tables and chairs for diners. The restroom is off of the main entrance/vestibule which is a little odd, but they made due with the space they have. The workers are so wonderful and kind. I once parked in the wrong spot behind the building (tow-away zone) and it was raining and they said that after I pay for the order they'll bring it to me in that lot. I told them the color and make of my car and that's what they did. It was really nice of them to do that. The leftovers of the curries go well with chicken thighs or other meats if you don't want to let it go to waste!! One star removed for the garlic naan. It was tough and chewy vs light and fluffy and it was lacking in flavor. Happy eats !

We explained our spice preference, which is a little bit on the spicier side and they delivered perfect spiced dishes. We started with the vegetable samosas, which had a slightly different flavor than what we usually get, a better flavor. So good. We also started with the Baghari shrimp. The sauce was so flavorful that I wanted to drink it like a soup. The chicken vindaloo was flavorful and perfectly spicy. The lamb Rogan Josh was as tasty as can be and also perfectly tasty. The mixed bread basket (naan) was excellent. For dessert, I was skeptical. We ordered one carrot halwah, ( it's carrots). We ordered one to share. It was the the best dessert I have ever had in an Indian restaurant and would be on a great dessert list anywhere. I would eat a vat of it. Waiter said that they eat it for breakfast. Everything was perfect. If you are from the area and believe you should support local, try them out. If you like Indian food you will come back.

My husband and I started with samosas which were the best I've ever had! If you're a fan, please go and try this and let me know if I'm being hyperbolic, but they were insanely good! I had the Aloo Gobi Masala which was out of this world. The flavors were well balanced and tasty. My husband had the veg biryani. The portions were plenty and the ingredients super fresh!

Their Rava Dosa is usually crispy and packed with flavor. The gunpowder one is yummy! The Khadai Paneer Masala is also usually super yummy, and we love the tomato creamy base that is paired with the paneer--a different alternative when we aren't craving Palak Paneer. Of course, have to wash it down with a Mango Lassi. Of note, sometimes the service is a little spotty and it can be a bit difficult to flag a waiter down/have the food come to the table within a reasonable time during some visits, but during other visits, everything will be spot on. Regardless, great for a casual date night or for groups! What we typically order: - Khadai Paneer Masala or Palak Paneer - One of the Rava Dosas (can't go wrong with any) - Samosas - Mango Lassi
