    a stack of flatbreads
    Andrea S.

    Ticked away in a corner of a strip mall, it is hard to find if you don't already know it's presence. Very spicy, so if you are not into spicy food definitely go with mild. Service was fast. Dining room is clean.

    Food is too salty and too spicy! Price does not match with their own website. Buffet does not have many meat options. Mainly veggie dishes

The beauty of phenomenal Indian restaurants is that you can order anything on the menu and know it will taste great. This visit I had the combo of chicken tikka, chicken vindaloo, daal tadaka, and of course this new shahi paneer that was a total game changer. All dishes were excellent. On the side I had the garlic and cheese naan with basmati rice. This place appears unassuming from outside but on the inside it has an upscale feel with cloth table tops and cloth napkins, glassware, and attentive dressed up staff that frequent your table often. I will be back. Perhaps even again this weekend!

This time around, the experience was a little better. I ordered the curry chicken with a side of garlic naan, while my wife chose the aloo baingan. The food took about 25 minutes to come out, which felt a bit long for lunch but wasn't unreasonable. One thing I did notice was that a table that was seated after us (they arrived about 10 minutes after we were seated) received their food before we did, including another table that had a larger party. It wasn't a major issue, but it did stand out and is something the kitchen could and should improve on. They should really work to a FIFO (First in First Out) schedule. That said, the food itself was very enjoyable. My curry chicken, ordered at a medium spice level, was cooked and seasoned perfectly to my taste. The garlic naan was especially good--fresh, flavorful, and a great complement to my meal. Overall, this visit improved my impression compared to the first time around.

    A friend recommended this place as the "best Indian in STL" and they were sooo right! My partner…read moreand I stopped in for dinner on a weekday, and while the outside might look unassuming, the food was packed with flavor! They were decently busy for dinner with takeout orders and had plenty of inside seating. Our wait staff was very friendly and attentive to every table, taking great care of us. The inside was very classic and spacious, with plenty of room between tables. My partner and I started with the Aloo Pakora, garlic cheese naan, and the onion kulcha. This was a great way to start our experience as the waiter explained each dish to us, as well as the different sauces we could enjoy with it! For our entree, we got a generous portion of lamb biryani and chicken tikka masala. They confirmed what spice level we would like (1-5, with 1 being not hot and 5 being spicy). We got the 3 and thought it was the perfect spice level for us, as people that frequently enjoy spicy foods. To end, we got a ras malai for dessert, which is a cold dessert with milk and pistachios. It was the perfect way to cool down our tongues after the meal. We had plenty of food leftover to have for a 2nd dinner the next day as well, which is a plus!

    We have gone to this restaurant many times - we liked it enough to recommend it to several other…read morepeople. However, today we got scammed there and were charged completely made up prices. We ordered the Chicken 65 APPETIZER, not the full meal. On the menu, the chicken 65 appetizer says $9.00, and the full meal says $14. When we finished eating and asked for the check the receipt listed the full meal price. We politely mentioned that we got charged for the entree instead of the appetizer - instead of correcting it, she told us the menu price was wrong and the appetizer is $14 now. We didn't believe the appetizer almost doubled in price from the menu, coincidentally to the exact same price as the entrees, so we asked what the "new" price of the entree is and they said $19 (more expensive than anything else on the entire menu). Nowhere on the Doordash app, Google menu, or PHYSICAL menu does it say the appetizer is $14.00 or that the full order is $19.00. If they just made a mistake on the check, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all - we weren't bothered and thought it would be a simple correction. But lying to us about fake prices instead of just offering to fix it was really disappointing. There was no one else to raise the issue with because our server was the only employee present. I would love to know how to contact a manager.

    What a find this was!…read more See pictures for the interior feel of the place. That's the only down side. Small place, feels more like a place to order take out. Not really conducive to eat in, it's not a totally comfortable vibe. But we did! As well as a few other people that came at the same time. The service was great! Server guy, I'm not sure what to call him, was extremely attentive, personable and did pretty much all the running around while we were there. He handled all the tables, handled the people picking up food for take out, and did it all smoothly. The food really was amazing. Again, see the pictures I posted. We over ordered, on purpose, to try a little of a lot of things. The corn soup was different, but good. Seems to be a mix of a few cans of cream corn, broth, and a few chicken bits (if you ordered chicken). We found it pleasant. The fried spinach was amazing. The yellow curry was amazing. The Mongolian beef was amazing. Thank you for the rice, there was quite a bit of it and the fried shrimp (I forget the official name...fried shrimp?) off the appetizer menu) was AMAZING. We will definitely go back. Even if it's just take out. I must say....we took the left overs home and they made the trip just fine and were still good as left overs. Highly recommend. Let me know what you think, leave a compliment give me a "helpful" so I know you liked it!

Every single dish we tasted was phenomenal perfectly cooked, it was authentic Indian flavors, and it was beautifully presented. There is honestly not one thing I could or would change about my experience. Actually, there is one thing that I would change how the garlic naan is presented on the menu it does show garlic/ chili naan and it seems like it's one item, but in reality it's two different options Just listed on the same line. So we ended up with two orders of naan bread but they both were delicious so it was okay. While the restaurant is located in a shopping plaza, the interior is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully decorated. The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive, prompt, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. The entire time I was dining, I kept thinking about all the friends and family I want to bring back so they can experience this culinary gem for themselves. I can't wait to go back.
