I also love supporting spots like this--it's locally owned by a Hamilton County family, which makes it even better Everything is made fresh daily using authentic cooking methods, and you can truly taste it in every bite. I started with the jalapeño paneer appetizer--creamy, spicy, crispy... honestly addictive. We had the lamb vindaloo and the butter chicken--bold, rich, and perfectly balanced. The vindaloo brought the heat in the best way, and the butter chicken was smooth, comforting, and full of flavor. I love that the menu pulls inspiration from all over India, with tons of options (including vegan), and everything comes out hot and fresh. They're open Tuesday-Sunday 10:30 AM-10 PM with a lunch buffet, full menu, and full bar.

If you are reading reviews, ignore older ones as they may apply to an earlier restaurant. I ordered take-out using an online app. Ordering was easy and the food was ready when I arrived. We started with the appetizer platter. Some were better than others, but the point of getting the platter was to see what we liked best. We shared a lamb with chickpea dinner and liked it very much. It came with rice and bread and 3 small portions of toppings. I also ordered the raita and a second kind of bread. One bread would have sufficed. We had a little of everything left over for lunch another day. We'll order from here again.

I had dinner here with a friend on a weekday night and it was pretty quiet, but a few other tables…read morewere filled. The menu had a lot of variety including some dishes I hadn't seen elsewhere. I decided to try something new and ordered the Saag Bhartha which is eggplant in the familiar spinach sauce. The eggplant is cooked down so the dish is creamy and rich; it was very flavorful and a spice level of 3 was perfect for me. It had some heat but didn't result in a burning mouth. The garlic naan was delicious and the basmati rice that came with the entree was perfectly cooked. The serving size was very generous and I enjoyed the leftovers for dinner the next night. I definitely want to try more items on their menu and see some takeout orders in my future. Service was good, and the atmosphere was quiet and perfect for catching up with a friend.

Let's start there - they have mixed plates. That's a win for people like us who are indecisive and also aren't sure what they would like. The inside: The restaurant is set up to be a step up from casual in the decor. I love ornate decor and this place didn't disappoint. The table inlay is gorgeous, the lights are beautiful. It had the potential to transport you to India temporarily. They have a small room where you can presumably dine using a more traditional gadda or bajot - i don't know if it's reserved for occasions. The majority of seating is at a table and chairs, which are beautiful and comfortable. It would seem they still have plenty of space to fill and I hope they do. The entire place was very clean. The service: Fabulous! Everyone was friendly and offered explanations for dishes and recommendations based on what we knew we liked. They hit the mark. Food came out quickly. My only note is that no one cleared the table during our meal. So we had dishes stacked to the side when we were eating dessert. This could be problematic for a party of more than 2. The food: delicious! Forgive me, I cant remember all of the names and missed pictures (ugh) but there will be a next time soon! We tried the vegetable dumplings and noodles to start. Perfect size for two people to share. Both were great. The dumplings had a curry style sauce that I enjoyed. The noodles were just delicious. Our main meal was the sampler. It included 2 pieces each of tikka, tandoori, and 1 other that escapes me. All of it was good. The tikka was hands down our favorite. We ordered a small basmati rice to accompany the meat. Dessert was also a sampler. We were able to choose 5 and they were the perfect size for a couple of bites each. We discovered that we like cardamom! Everything was served with sharing in mind, not individual dishes. We liked this aspect. The service and table setting is unique, traditional, and elegant. Kudos! Suggestions to the owner: A small side of basmati should come with most of the main entrees. Offer a sampler for each type of preparation or possible a mixture of the most popular 3 main entrees. Consider a small buffet offering with a few of the most popular dishes - starters and mains. This allows for exploration from those that are unfamiliar and invites people to try new things. It may be intimidating to order an entire meal when you're unfamiliar with the cuisine.

I ordered to go as I was on my way to an appointment but next time I'm going to sit down and enjoy this beautiful place. The music is pleasant the host was a very nice helpful young man. You can tell they take pride in what and how they serve and in their restaurant and represent their culture. I ordered the lamb biryani. You get your choice of heat, mild medium or hot and they advised the spices are American level :) Good because my little American taste buds can't take too much heat so I ordered American medium and woow it was still just a little hot but very good. The lamb is tender, rice done perfectly, pleanty of onions and spices. It comes with a yogurt sauce to help cool it off a little. The bowl was packed and will take me 2 days to eat it all! I am so happy to have this option in the neighborhood. Please come out and support the business and keep them open.

Better than expected! I had my doubts, as so many Indian restaurants fall short of anything…read moreremotely traditional. But this place surprised me a bit. My daughter and I went during the week at lunchtime. It only had a few other patrons seated. The interior felt a bit "bare", almost cafeteria feeling, but clean with ample room between tables. I ordered from their menu and my daughter couldn't decide (there are a ton of made to order menu items) so she selected the buffet. They also had a good selection of different flavored Naan Flatbreads, I wanted to try a few and ended up ordering 3; plain garlic and a peppered something. I love a good Naan but I always get it with Raita. I go pretty spicy and the Raita is a fantastic palet cooler. The server did not know what I was asking for. I think he went back and asked someone. ‍ The Naan was fire! And the Raita (while a bit runny) was very good as well. My daughter was very happy with her several small choices from the buffet. (She eats like a bird) She was also surprised by the quality of the food as Indian is her favorite. I had the Lamb Tikka Masala. It was a very large portion of both rice, lamb and masala sauce. Would have easily fed 2 people! I ate what I could.....about half. (Daughter got to take a pretty nice doggie bag back to Bloomington!) Spice, heat flavors and textures were very good! I will be back for sure! Lots of offerings and my next trip will include a Vindaloo option. (Or maybe Tandoori?) Much better than expected but not the greatest I've ever had. I still might have given 5 stars if the atmosphere was a bit less barren and the service was a bit slow considering there were only a few other customers in while dined. Worth the trip if you are in the area. Thanks for reading!
