I still love their tikka masala paneer (or chicken). I have not dined in yet, but I sat waiting for to go when they opened. Atmosphere focused on India. The "TV" just plays Indian dance, not the worst. If you look at my account, I do not care for TV in restaurants because they distract from the food and interior, plus from talking with my party. Staff treated me well while I waited fory order.

So today, my friends and I checked out Parotta Palace in Welden Springs. It just opened a few…read moremonths ago, so I definitely wanted to give it a try. We ordered one of their Biryani dishes, chicken tikka masala, gobi Manchurian, and Chicken 65, and of course, we had to try their parottas since that's what this place is known for. The service was a bit confusing, and there were some kinks they need to work out. A server came up to us multiple times with different dishes that didn't belong to our table. And when we said we ordered something else, she seemed confused and had to go back to see if our food was even entered into the system. The way you check out was a bit different than what I'm used to, so make sure you check your bank account after you eat there. It just seemed a bit weird that they don't let you tip on the machine you paid on. You can tip in cash. If you want to tip with your card, they have to go back to the register to print out a separate receipt from a different machine. Food was all great and delicious! However, Naan is like the highlight of any Indian food, atleast for me, but they dont have it at this restaurant. They have Parottas which was good, but it juat doesnt satisfy my carbs intake as much as Naan. Definitely give it a try though especially if you never tried Parottas. They kind of remind me of warm croissants.

The Lamb…read moreMughlai was the standout -- super tender pieces of lamb in a rich, mildly spiced sauce that felt comforting without being heavy. Easily one of the best lamb dishes I've had in the area. The Chicken Tikka Masala was another hit: creamy, balanced, and perfect for scooping up with their naan. Speaking of which -- don't skip the butter naan and garlic naan. Both came out warm, soft, and perfectly blistered. Great texture, great flavor. We also tried the onion samosas, which were crispy and packed with flavor without being greasy -- a great start to the meal. To finish things off, we had the kulfi, and it was absolutely delicious. My daughter ate it before I could get a picture, but I think that says enough. Service was friendly, the space felt clean and welcoming, and everything tasted freshly made. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to.

The vegetable pakora was not quite as good as I recall, but the tamarind sauce served with it was quite good. The Gobi Manchurian was flavorful an satisfying. The paneer tiki masala was priced well and rather good, and the basmati rice was cooked perfectly and even reheated well. I hope next time I can dine in.

I don't know what are the sauces provided with the samosas, but it happened to be the highlight for my meal. It did take a while for my order to arrive, but it came in hot and fresh. They provided a lot of butter chicken curry, even if it's half of it, so there's more leftovers for me in a day or two. I might come by here for the samosas and maybe some new food to try! If anyone knows the 2 sauces, please let me know!! (I love the red sauce compared to the green one)

We were seated pretty quickly but it took a while for our orders to be taken. It wasn't really crowded. The guy seated a table behind us had a lot of questions and a big order. They bring the food out as it's ready so we weren't waiting for all of the food to be done. Drinks were served in cans but there was also bottled water on the table. Not sure if this is how it's always done or if there was an issue. Having never had butter chicken before, I didn't have a reference point. It was delicious. The garlic naan is amazing. I ordered some to go. It started my love affair. My husband liked his fried rice but it had eggs in it. He doesn't eat eggs. (Yeah I still love him though). He grew tired of picking it out so he didn't finish it. I don't remember what our daughter got but it's the brown dish in the picture. Overall we had a good time with good food out of our comfort zone. I will be looking for garlic naan and butter chicken everywhere.

Mid-2026 and this has stayed my only spot in or around STL for Indian food. Everything I've tried…read morehas been delicious, and I've tried many things I've never had before because of my faith in their kitchen. I will say I want to update my review in regards to service. It can be lackluster sometimes! For me it's been like 2/3rds of my visits (and I come here a lot) have fine-to-good service and then 1/3rd it's quite slow and inattentive. Some of my good visits have been while they've been busy--so I'm not sure what causes the difference in service outside of obviously who's on staff that day and how they're feeling about being at work lol. But yeah overall service is fine imo after ~35 visits

But, if you venture into little spicier side try their goat/lamb curries. You have to order at counter and food will be delivered to table. Please check the photos for what's new in menu. Tip: Very close to B&B theatres if you want to combine your movie and dining out together.

I've always enjoyed the Ani's lunch combo, but I decided to try their dinner options this time. I…read moreordered the papidi chaat as an appetizer. It's a combination of chickpeas, papidi (fried crackers), and mint chutney that tastes refreshing. The chicken 65 didn't taste that fresh and perhaps was leftover from lunch... and unlike the lunch combo, you don't get rice or naan when you order the dinner entree, and this completely changed how it tasted (the rice/naan is essential in my opinion). So make sure to also buy rice or naan if you get the chicken 65; otherwise, it'll taste way too salty. The raita isn't as good as it used to be - it's much thicker now with consistency of actual yogurt and has less of that mint/cucumber flavor. The mango lassi is still excellent and cools down the spice from the other dishes. Overall, I still prefer the taste and value of the lunch combo over what I ordered for dinner this time.

My wife and I have been on an Indian food kick lately, so we turned to Yelp to find an authentic…read morespot near our house. While browsing reviews, we came across a hidden gem in St. Ann called Maaji's Street Kitchen that had surprisingly high ratings. I couldn't believe how well-reviewed it was, so we decided to check it out for ourselves. We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Monday and were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in. We made our way to the counter to place our order, and the staff member was very helpful once we mentioned it was our first time. He walked us through the menu and even pointed out different dishes and combo options on their digital signage display menu, which made ordering much easier. We placed our order to go and waited inside. It's a small space, but it's decorated with unique art and has a really unique vibe. There was a hypnotic Indian song playing in the background, which added to the atmosphere. We sat at a table that had a game on it--I believe it was called Carrom, a tabletop game where you flick checker-sized discs into corner pockets, similar to a mini pool table. A woman who I assume was the owner or manager came out from the back and greeted us. While we waited, she showed us how to play the game. As we were playing, she came back and even offered us samples of the food we had ordered. I was honestly impressed by the level of hospitality--it's not something you experience very often. The sample alone was some of the best Indian food I've had. The spices were perfectly balanced for my taste, and it made me even more excited to get home and dig into our full meal. My wife ordered the Mixed Vegetable Curry Bowl, and I went with Combination #2 (Shredded Chicken Curry, Steamed Rice, and Parantha), along with a side salad. Overall, the experience was fantastic. I can't remember the last time we were treated this well at a restaurant, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more dishes.
