We found Moringa via Yelp and could not have been happier with the experience. While the outside is simple the inside of the restaurant is quite nice. The owner was very helpful picking out gluten free options and answering questions. The food was absolutely delicious! She loved her butter chicken and I enjoyed my Palak (Saag) Paneer and naan very much. Moringa is well worth it. They have great food with polite and helpful staff. We will definitely try to stop in again. Yum!!

This is officially our go-to spot when we want a full-on punch of real Indian flavor. As someone…read morefrom South India, it is rare to find food that actually tastes like home--but this place nails it. The kind of food that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod. The space is small and simple--people are here for one reason only: serious, no-nonsense deliciousness. Alex, Siva, and the team are fantastic--super welcoming and always happy to guide you. They even offer two spice styles (American and Indian), each with mild, medium, and spicy. Choose wisely... or bravely. The usual dishes like tikka masala are great, but the real magic is in the South Indian menu. If you are not sure what to order, just ask--they will not steer you wrong. We have also started ordering catering for parties, and let me tell you--nothing validates food like a room full of very judgmental Indian relatives going back for seconds and thirds. At our last event, the quiet "this is really good" nods said everything. We ordered chicken Chettinad, salmon curry, aloo gobi, goat biryani, and garlic naan--every single dish was outstanding. The only tragedy? Not enough leftovers for the next day. And do not skip the filter coffee. One sip, eyes closed, and you are instantly transported home, even if it's for a little while. Moringa team--keep doing exactly what you are doing. Love it!!

We ordered appetizers to get a good range of variety. The service was sooooo slow. And the glasses seemed as if they had been sitting on the table forever. The food was tasty. I had the mustard shrimp and potato paratha. Both were amazing. My one complaint of the shrimp was that some pieces were without tails which gave the appearance that they were left over. It just seemed odd. The temperature of the shrimp were a bit under warmed for my liking but the flavor was amazing. They gave three sauces- that were all bursting with unique flavor. Some were spicy. I did see they were preparing a ton of uber eats deliveries and there appeared to be one person managing all of that. So it makes sense for the slow service. I think I'd prefer to order takeout to dine in. Although the dining room is gorgeous, I wish they had someone to be more attentive to customers and describe menu options with a bit of feeling. Our waiter was a bit distracted so he seemed uninterested in conversation when we had questions.

We walked right in with no problems. All of the food was fantastic. It was our first time so we ordered a bunch of different stuff. We started with the chili paneer and mulligatawny soup. Both were well seasoned and tasty. For dinner we had chicken tikka masala and chicken vindaloo which both came with rice. We also added the garlic naan and chili onion naan which went well with a couple of beers imported from India. Overall the food was very good with the service to match. Will be back here soon, and highly recommend.

All good. The food is prepared to your spice level, so no worries either way. I got mild while others at my table ordered more spicy. The food was phenomenal. Delicious. I had the saag (spinach sauce) and it was so yummy. I tasted the other dishes, and they were likewise just delicious. You really can't go wrong here. Drinks from the bar were balanced and well mixed. Also recommend. If you are even considering trying this restaurant, then GO. It's really great. I'm a fairly experienced consumer of this type of cuisine- and this is a cut above. Go.

The hype is legit. Food, ambiance and service were all exceptional…read more We were warmly greeted upon arrival and sat at a cozy table near the stage where they had fantastic live music. My husband and I both got tikka masala dishes. He got chicken and I got the shrimp. In hindsight I wish I had tried the Saag just so we could have tasted a different sauce. However, the tikka masala was truly the best we've ever had. And we are always chasing excellent food so we've had our share. The dumplings were great but we would likely opt for a different appetizer as they didn't really blow us away. The service though is really what puts this place over the top. We were in a bit of a time crunch so I'm disappointed we couldn't stay longer and try dessert so we will definitely be back when we can make it down to SoNo again.

Wine list was rather pedestrian, but the cocktails were good. I had Taj Mahal beer which was light and tasty. We shared a good number of dishes - samosa was good, Himalayan Mushroom Chile was excellent, lasooni gobi was excellent too. Tandoori shrimp was outstanding. I didn't like Himalayan naan - it was sweet. Garlic naan was good though. Good service, prompt, friendly and attentive. The only thing I didn't like is that when making a payment, 20% tip was minimal, and suggestions went all the way to 35%... this is really annoying... Anyway, recommended.

*Somehow this got posted on the wrong place, please ignore all of this*…read moreThe food here is totally delicious. We've tried about half their menu, and Punjabi Grill is definitely one of my top 5 restaurants in the area. But don't eat in. It's way creepy in there, and their service is just about as slow as possible, even though there are only 2 or 3 tables. But take out or delivery? Yes please! The garlic naan is a bit too much for me, but other than that, everything is amazing.
