This is a neat family establishment. The mother is the chef and Khadija (forgive me if I botched…read morethe spelling) is the daughter and our server. They were so welcoming. I am still learning about middle eastern cuisine so the chef described some entrees. I told her about a Pakistani dish I really enjoyed and she made me a similar chicken dish that isn't even on the menu! What I love about middle eastern food is that it is so fragrant and a full scale sensory overload. It looks, smells and tastes all at once. Khadija was adorable and very outgoing. I was super impressed by the whole vibe. All of the other patrons were probably far more familiar with the cuisine, but we felt welcome and were so honored that they presented something off the menu for me. I plan to try the regular menu dishes next time. The naan is outstanding, too.

We have been here four separate times now, and it has become our go-to spot for Indian food. We…read morereally love Indian food and have tried other places, but none of them do it like this location. Every time we come, we end up ordering the same thing because it is just that good. We even joked about trying something new, but of course we ordered our usual again but we recently found out they have a buffet on Sundays, which is really nice if you want to try different dishes or expand your palate! The garlic naan is always a favorite, super savory and hard to stop eating. You can also choose the spice level for the masala. We finally tried the spiciest level, and I would say to be careful with that one. We would recommend medium instead. We are Hispanic and even for us the spiciest level was a little intense on our gastrointestinal system, but we still ate everything. If you want authentic Indian food with great spices, this is the place to go. It is usually pretty empty when we visit, which surprises us because the food is so good. We hope this place gets longer waits and we will definitely be eating here many more times.

We were greeted right away and offered our choice of table, we sat by the window. We ordered the saag paneer, rice and garlic naan to share. The food came out quickly, but not too fast. Everything was wonderful. That naan...oh my! They have many varieties and I can't wait to try more. They have a lunch special and happy hour all day until 6pm (1/2 off all drinks). I will be back for a glass of wine and a couple orders of the different naan choices. Our server Jennifer was so friendly.

Came in with a group of friends and…read morewe actually forgoed the RW menu since the entire table would have to do it and not everyone wanted the items off there. We started with drinks, my friends had the mango lassi and chai while I had a Rumana cocktail. Both of the other drinks were so yummy but not exactly what I'd drink with dinner, my Rumana was super tasty and very strong! Our table started out with the hamachi crudo - crudo is one of my absolute favorite dishes so I was very happy to have this as an app, the sauce the fish was in was so good I almost licked the plate clean. For the main dishes, we had kashmiri lamb rogan josh, pork ribs vindaloo, home style butter chicken, chicken dum biryani, and a lot of garlic naan. I can't say enough good stuff about the food here, they really elevate Indian food and it feels very authentic. We ate up everything, I think we had one small take out box and that was it. We couldn't sleep on dessert though, we ordered one of each of their 3 options - piña colada, chai & biskoot, and phirni - I think the overall fave was the chai dessert but the others were close contenders. Overall I'd 100% try this place again and had a great time trying dishes I normally wouldn't since I'm so committed to tikka masala and butter chicken. The vibes are so lovely, this is a beautiful spot for date night, I would definitely make a reservation though.

We were seated right away and our server was good. He was attentive and provided recommendations when requested. We tried the beet and kale appetizer which was yummy. The inside was softer than I expected but the flavors were good. We also tried the cauliflower and this left much to be desired. The flavor was odd with the cauliflower really dry from being roasted in the clay oven. It also had a wired sauce with it for dipping? But not enough? The stars were our main dishes. The matar paneer and the spinach/mushroom kofte were both really good and very flavorful. They were the right level of spice. Garlic naan was perfection..

For $17 I got the vegan combo plate and it came with 2 sides -- I opted for the mesir wat (spicy lentils) and gomen (collard greens). The mesir wat and gomen came beautifully wrapped in an injera, with a salad on the top and two very large rolled up injeras. This combo would be more than enough for two people to share. I ordered right as they opened and my order came fairly quickly (~40 mins), so I was really happy with that as well. The mesir wat was seasoned spectacularly! Just enough heat that pairs with the savory flavor. The gomen also was deliciously garlicky, all coming together so harmoniously with the sourness of the injera. I was worried that ordering it for delivery would affect the experience, but everything came nice and warm and it was so great to have this meal at home. I definitely will need to come in next time, with friends for sure, I could not finish this combo on my own.

During our meal we were each asked if we wanted a dosa and we replied "heck ya!" There were two choices and I got the one with potato inside. Sorry, I wasn't sure what the other choice was. The only thing that wasn't as appetizing was that we had to use paper plates on the buffet. We saw some of the other diners had real plates so I am not sure if they either ordered from the menu (which is an option) or if the restaurant just ran out of clean plates. This is definitely not something that affected my review and desire to return. We will definitely be back!
