    Butter Chicken* Extra Rice*
    Sophia C.

    All the food here was incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. I would definitely order the butter chicken to go the next time I'm craving Indian food. The inside of the restaurant was very pretty and clean. It looks like a great place to watch sports. I will say the menu being on an electronic tablet was weird and I wasn't a fan. Also, the service felt a bit lackluster, which was disappointing since my mom and I don't get to go out to lunch together very often. I'd like to give it another try at dinner sometime to see if the service is better, but if not, I'll probably stick to takeout.

    Chicken Lettuce Wrap* chicken tiki Tikka Masala Combination*

    Absolutely delicious. My favorite place for Indian food. I got the chicken lettuce wraps to start and then the chicken tiki masala

    Veg Samosa*
    Amie S.

    Came here Sunday for lunch and it was delicious. The vegetable samosa had big portions. I would recommend the butter chicken, which has amazing flavor. The Baigan Bharta is a tasty vegan eggplant dish. I didn't enjoy the curry chicken as much, due to how the flavoring wasn't as savory as I expected, it was kind of bland especially compared to the butter chicken. The garlic naan wasn't as doughy/flavorful as some other places that I've tried. Overall I was happy with our experience here and would recommend!

    Fish Curry*

    Went here on a Saturday night. Their reservation system was down, but we got seated at a decent time despite having one. There's booths on both sides of the restaurant. Club music was playing for background noise, but it wasn't loud. Decent amount of parking in front of restaurant. The food was decent. The Jax tandoori came out colder than expected. The fish curry was house fish which was tilapia. It felt like the fish just sat in the sauce in terms of flavor. Had a level 2 spice, and for someone who doesn't deal with spice well it wasn't that bad. Pretty good Indian restaurant for the area.

    Another great dinner. We always order a wide range of dishes and enjoy them family style. Great to try a new favorite. The restaurant was open and airy. Service was good. Never felt rushed. Unlike many other restaurants, the sound level was low so we could be social, talk and enjoy ourselves.

    Great authentic Indian food. We went with some friends to give this restaurant a try. What a good meal we had! We started out with a few appetizers, CHICKEN 65 Spice sauteed chicken pieces in a delicious sauce. Also ordered CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAP Spiced ground chicken in a light seasoned sauce. Lokendra was our server and was attentive to our needs and answered all of our questions. The restaurant was about half full and the setting was great easy to have a conversation during dinner. We ordered HARIYALI CHICKEN Boneless grilled chicken white meat, marinated, sauteed with mint and GRILLED SHRIMP House masala marinated Jumbo shrimp with mix grilled vegetables. The portions were large and delicious. We finished the night with the pastry balls in a coconut sauce....so good!! Also had a spice margarita which was great except too much ice two sips and it was gone.

    Butter Chicken, chicken tikka masala, Garlic Naan

    Food was pretty good. Big portions. Service was a little slow for an empty night but they were friendly. Nice restaurant - good outdoor area. 2 masalas, garlic naan and chicken 65 was enough for 5 hungry teens!

    We had a late lunch at Jax Spice. This was our first time eating there. We found the menu to have a large variety of dishes we had never seen or eaten before. Jax spice, we learned, serves Northern India/Himalayan/Nepalese cuisine. We ordered Kachumber Salad (fresh cucumber salad), Grill Paneer Tikka (grilled cottage cheese), Kadhai (chicken with curry), Lamb Rogan Josh, Garlic Naan (flat bread ) and washed it down with an Indian beer, Kingfisher. It was all very tasty and large portions. Any of the main dishes (Lamb Rogan Josh and Kadhai) could be shared. The restaurant had a full bar, was spacious, well organized and very clean. Service was excellent. We definitely will be back.

    Sashaki (I think the name). It tasted similar to a blueberry raspberry vodka martini.

    When you first walk in you immediately smell the food. And it's not a bad smell it smells good. You feel like the food is definitely being cooked and not super prepped in advance. Being my first time here it definitely made me excited. The veg pakora was something I tried for the first time I've had this and it was surprisingly crispy with a soft center. The sauces served with it were a great compliment. My main dish the Dhansak Chicken was something else I was new to try. It was definitely rewarding with flavor and spices. I ordered it with mild plus and I will say I should have done the medium. But I'm always in easy with spice. And the naan paired perfectly with it. I will say the rice was dryer than my preference but I also don't typically eat basmati rice often. So it could be exactly as it was supposed to be. That being said the portions were a lot bigger than I was expecting. I definitely felt like I got my money worth of food and I'm very satisfied. My server was good, just the right amount of attentive without being overbearing. Especially since it was a bit busy when we arrived. Considering it was my first time here I needed more time to decide on things. But she suggested naan and I realized I had completely forgot to order any and glad she mentioned it. Overall definitely can recommend to try out this spot. I for one can't wait to go back and try some more new things.

    Food is soooo good and portions seem really big. I love the way that the servers walk you through the extensive menu. Every time I have visited, I'm always given great recommendations from the staff. The butter chicken is my favorite and I love the garlic naan bread. The restaurant is very clean, open, airy and upscale, while still also being kid-friendly. Definitely recommend.

Our drinks took around 10 minutes to arrive even though there were only two other tables besides our party of eight. Some of the plates were dirty or cracked, and the silverware was placed on the table in a way that felt careless and unprofessional. They advertised guava drinks, but after about 15 minutes our server came back and said he couldn't get it out of the can and asked if I wanted something else instead. Meanwhile, we watched tables that arrived after us receive their food while we were still waiting for ours. We were also told they had no regular napkins available and were only given small cocktail napkins. Overall, it felt like the restaurant was unprepared for guests that night. The server did seem like he was trying, which I appreciated, but overall the service felt disorganized and slow, and our table did not feel like a priority. My family has always liked this place a lot, but after this experience, I'm not sure how often we'll be coming back.

Pros: -consistently get food I expect -naan and other breads are done well -gobi Manchurian is fantastic -meat typically not overcooked, which I find is a common issue with any stewed dish Cons: -expensive (though to be fair, who isn't overpriced these days?) -some bland dishes (korma and maybe one other I have tried but can't remember what dish) -charge for chutneys -no cold onion chutney For the last two things, it is commonplace in the northeast for Indian restaurants to include at least 3 chutneys - tamarind, mint and onion.

The food is made to order, and they even bring out a small sample first to make sure the spice level is just right, which felt thoughtful and very personal.

Before sitting down to eat, we walked around and checked out the Southern Lights Candle Shop nearby and picked up a few things. It's a very nice shop and highly recommended if you're in the area. We had the butter chicken, spinach chicken, and lamb with rice and naan (bread), and everything was absolutely delicious. The setting is a super cute outdoor garden with a relaxed, cozy vibe. They have fans for warmer days and heat lamps when it's cooler, making it comfortable year-round. The drink selection is solid as well. I had two Indian Rupee beers the IPA and the lager and both tasted amazing. The lager was my favorite, but I'd definitely recommend trying both.
