Kuldip is always so kind, welcoming, and helpful, and the friendly service makes every visit even better. My go to orders are the Butter Chicken, Samosa Chaat, and Bhindi Masala.

Solid Indian food here. We've been coming here over the years mostly for take out. Since my last…read morereview, they renovated the interior and looks much more warm and inviting. While we were there, it was obvious that a bulk of their business is take out. Plenty of people came in to pick up their orders. One of my biggest gripes of late with their take out has been the portion size. It is noticeably smaller than other places. So when we sat down to eat, I was pleased to know that we could get more rice. We had 3 bowls of rice. But the nicest part was we didn't even have to ask. The guy asked us if we wanted more rice...3 times! I think I may have to eat there more often.

We went with a large group for a very late lunch this past Sunday, which worked out perfectly because we could order a ton of food and try a bit of everything. Despite it being well past lunch hour, at least half of the tables were still filled. Service was a bit slow, though, and we spent a fair amount of time waiting for our server to take our order or for our food to arrive. PACHI MIRCHI GOBI - 13.99 The fried cauliflower was crunchy and loaded with chilis, spices, and aromatics. Sadly, there was also an aggressive amount of cilantro, so I spent more time than I'd like picking the leaves off my food. Still, it was a good appetizer to keep us from getting too cranky while waiting for our entrees. PANEER MAJESTIC - 14.99 The paneer was cut in the shape of Fritos corn chips, which was something I hadn't seen before. It was quite saucy, but the thin, small pieces felt overcooked and had more of a firm tofu-like texture than the soft, mozzarella-like texture I was hoping for. There was also, unfortunately, more cilantro. TANDOORI CHICKEN - 17.99 This came out sizzling in a skillet, and the fragrant smoke immediately made my mouth water. It was already 3 PM and I was hungry, so the timing couldn't have been better. Each piece was incredibly well-seasoned and juicy. My tongue was burning a little by the end, but I didn't care because it tasted so amazing straight off the skillet. I'd highly recommend this. CURRY LEAF CHICKEN - 14.99 I've never had curry leaf chicken before, but I'm officially a fan. The chicken was tender, bathed generously in a curry leaf-based sauce with a complex depth of flavor. I couldn't quite tell you what all the spices were, but I knew I kept reaching back for another piece. CHICKEN DUM BIRYANI - 14.99 A pretty standard Hyderabadi-style biryani, with the chicken tucked underneath the generously spiced rice. Each bite had a nice dry heat, and the chicken was pretty good, but it wasn't particularly memorable compared to some of the other dishes we ordered. MUTTON BIRYANI (GOAT) - 16.99 This is my friend's favorite biryani, and after trying it, I can see why. Similar to the chicken biryani, the mutton was served underneath the rice, but the meat itself was the star. It was incredibly tender and not gamey at all, with rich, fatty flavors that elevated the biryani. If there was one entree I kept reaching for, it was this one. I'd highly recommend it. MANGO LASSI - 6.49 A bit pricy, but smooth, rich, and creamy with a refreshing mango flavor and a tough of yogurty acidity. It was exactly what I needed to cool down from all the spice. Overall, the food was packed with spices and flavor, the prices were reasonable, and we were completely stuffed. The biryani portions were massive -- I couldn't easily turn one serving into three meals. If I lived nearby, I'd definitely be picking up a biryani to-go.

The food was good, but not a place for people who want mild. Butter chicken (mild) still had quite…read morethe kick. We were warned the biryani was not mild. We rolled the dice anyway and let's just say, they weren't wrong. Lol. We had to ask the waiter to upgrade our carafe from room temp water to ice water and Naani (sp?) stopped by our table to check in on our experience. We let him know the "mild" had a bit more of a kick than we expected. He recommended we use yogurt and had some brought to the table. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. Each dish was $16 and I was impressed with the portion size. They don't even charge for extra rice. Next time we'll skip the biryani since it was too spicy and just order the extra rice.

After I ordered I was told it would take ten minutes, a reasonable amount of time. I come back in 15 the food is not ready, I ask about it and get told it will be out shortly. I had to wait another 15 minutes. My order was incorrect I ordered butter chicken (which was pretty good) with rice, and an additional side of garlic naan. My butter chicken only came out with garlic naan. After going back inside and inquiring about it I was told it would take five minutes. Sad to say it took longer.

H1B has a great location with plenty of parking and a good atmosphere…read more It's a simple Indian restaurant with counter ordering and has a nice simple seating area with big windows. Today I stopped by for lunch, just walking by, and ordered their mild G.O.A.T Dum Biryani and Mango Lassi. Kiran the cashier was nice and polite, very knowledgeable and answered all my requests very well. The food came out quickly and hot. I think the mango lassi was a bit small for it's price but tasted homemade. The goat was extremely spicy for me, even after I was asked how spicy I would like it, and I replied very mild, not spicy. It's was difficult to eat it without a lot of extra toppings and sauces to make it more mild, but then my rice turned into soup. I think that if you normally like the spices that made with Indian food you'll agree with the other reviewers here that it's a nice place to eat. For me it too hot and spicy! As a bonus they offered me to try their desert: Mango Rabadi and a small sample of their chicken kabob. The Mango Rabadi was very good, a pleasant sweetened dessert, but the chicken kabob was also super spicy for me but full of flavor! If you like Indian food it sounds like this is the place to go, but for me it's way too spicy! The owner and the cashier were very nice and friendly. I hope they fulfill the area's Indian food option as best they can in the years to come.

The place was clean, I could even see in the kitchen and it looked nice. Service was fine. The menu is filled with the typical Pakistani/Indian delights. We tried their chicken tikka (boneless) kabob. The flavors were really good and the meat was tender. It came out perfect. The naan was incredibly soft and perfect texture and density too. Their veggie biryani was more of a mix of curry into the rice, versus the right way of making it with curry folded into the rice with some other colored rices folded in as well. The flavors were just a messy/overall single flavor, rather than tasting the different flavors. The karahi was really just a stewed chicken curry, versus a freshly made stir fried (in a karahi) style curry with fresh tomatoes and chicken. I could tell by how melty and stewed down the chicken was. Overall, the flavor was ok, but it didn't resemble the karahi I'm familiar with from making it and eating it in Pakistani family kitchens over the years. I still enjoyed the visit and if I came back, I'd stick with kabobs

The bar area is big and spacious, and usually sitting at the bar means better, more attentive service. The place was mildly busy, so I expected things to run smoothly -- but that wasn't the case. Right from the start, the bartender wasn't very attentive. We had to ask multiple times just to place our order. For appetizers, we tried the Goat Buttan and the Wild Boar -- we wanted to explore some of the unique delicacies on the menu. Both dishes were interesting, and the Goat Buttan and Wild Boar were actually pretty solid. Unfortunately, the service continued to be an issue. We had to flag the bartender again just to order our entrées and even for simple water refills. We ordered the Mutton Taas and the Yak Chili. The Yak Chili was very good, but the Mutton Taas was extremely dry -- like eating cardboard -- and lacked flavor. Throughout the night, our bartender was constantly absent. More than once, we had to ask another bartender to get his attention so we could get basic service. After finishing our meal, we ordered a dessert, the Gulab Jamun. The presentation looked nothing like the picture -- more like a sloppy drop of pudding -- and the taste was just as disappointing. And again, we had to flag down another bartender because ours was nowhere to be found. Service overall was lackluster, and the tip options started at 20% with no 18% choice. For the level of service we received, 15% would have been more appropriate. I won't be returning anytime soon unless I'm specifically craving their unique delicacies -- which is once in a blue moon.

We made the mistake of coming here (on a weekday evening) and left wondering, "How is this place still open???". There weren't any other customers, which should have been the first sign to leave. Zero decor, second sign to leave. The menu looked like it was typed up by a high schooler, no description and was partially hand written, final sign to leave. Unfortunately, being that we had high hopes (since their buffet used to be good), we stayed and ordered a chicken vindaloo and mutter paneer with naan. The naan was like rubber, not sure if it was heated in the microwave or old. The chicken vindaloo looked/tasted like regular chicken curry and had bones, which wasn't even mentioned on the menu. I have ordered chicken vindaloo from many other India restaurants and they always had boneless chicken and actually tasted like vindaloo. The server wasn't helpful in any way and didn't seem to know much about the food. We barley touched the food, paid and just left the rest of the food on the table.

It looked like they were in the middle of a renovation and quickly put up some tables so they could feed people. I wasn't even sure how to ask for a table when we walked in, there was no visible staff. Picked this place because it had good ratings on Yelp, so not sure what they normally look like and if this is a representation of what they're really like. You could tell this place was authentic because there were three other tables and they were all Indian. We got: Masala Mirchi Bhajji - battered and fried chili pepper stuffed with onion. Tarka Dal - yellow lentils Chicken Tikka masala - chicken in a thick creamy sauce The flavors are great, we didn't specify our heat level and we got medium and it was really spicy. I love spicy and can handle spicy, but it was almost too much for me. One food downside, they didn't provide much rice with the dish. The menu is exactly what you see on the website, small print, no pictures. So you have to know what you're looking for or ask a lot of questions. Though I found out if you use Yelp to order takeout, each menu item does include a picture. Very reasonably priced, rare these days.
