The restaurant is in the back of the building and has a few tables. I'm not sure if it's a sit-down and order type of place, but I ordered at the counter and also picked up my food at said counter. I had stopped for gas and saw the Indian place was just opening for the day. I wanted to try something from this place, even though I already had lunch plans. So I ordered a little snack of Papdi Chaat (as people affectionately call it the Indian nachos). It was refreshing and flavorful. Pretty hearty for a small treat. I am looking forward to going back and trying more dishes.

Hidden Gem for Gujarati Street Food!…read more Situated inside a grocery store, it may look random, but it serves great homestyle food. It was recommended by a friend--otherwise, we'd have never crossed paths. A must-try for Gujarati street food! We ordered the Gujarati thali and loved it. The chapatis were incredibly soft, and the bhindi and gawar fali were absolutely delicious. I just wish there was a bit more kadhi or gravy to go with the rice--to help balance out the carb load (I know, it's a lot to ask!). We also tried the dhokla, which was excellent--light, fluffy, and flavorful. Will definitely order that again. Ended up getting khichdi and eggplant curry to go, and I'm really looking forward to trying those. Next on the list: some of their fried savory snacks! Bonus: They also serve Indian-Chinese and Punjabi food if you're in the mood for something different. A warm, comforting meal that truly feels like home-cooked food--definitely worth a visit! Note: I would've loved to see the kitchen open--it's always comforting in small places like this.

Their manchow chicken soup also was great. One of us had a khasta kachori to start with and was yumm as well.

I recently came as part of a larger group to celebrate a birthday. Right off the bat, I must say…read morethat the food was delicious - we had a family style set up where apps were shared, followed by a larger selection of entrees and sides and then desserts (including a cake that was brought). I can't remember everything we had because there was so much food, but every single dish was flavorful and satisfying! One of the appetizers stuck out to me which was the chicken tikka naan pizza, which I really enjoyed. I also liked the cauliflower dish, though I wish it had a little more of a kick to it. We had plenty of chicken items for the entrees and I tried a little bit of everything. The chicken tikka and chickpea dishes were my favorite, along with the chicken biryani. I appreciated the subtle spice in some of the dishes. The desserts were also good, but the gulab jamun was a bit too sweet for my liking - I am the type that prefers for subtle sweetness. Since we were a larger party, we were served the mango lassis in these plastic pitchers (which we actually didn't mind), but then they were switched out into just a few small bottles so we couldn't really share them anymore? They were better off in the pitchers if I'm being honest. I am removing one star because the service could have been better. It seemed like the staff members were not communicating amongst one another, as one staff member would say something that contradicted the other, on multiple occasions (including during the planning process). They did not pack our left overs for us (they said they didn't do that) so we asked for several containers to pack everything we had left; had we known this, we would have packed the many appetizers we had leftover or asked them to keep it to the side. Finally, there was a staff member that seemed visibly irritated with our party when she passed by because her tone was a bit unpleasant, even though she wasn't helping our table but was working the other tables (might've just been because we were a larger party and they were somewhat busy). Overall, the food was delicious and the set up is aesthetically pleasing. I was also impressed that there was a full bar available. Parking lot is spacious but be careful leaving the lot, because people were zooming into the shopping center on our way out to avoid the incoming traffic.

I honestly will never be coming back to this place again after this experience. I placed an online…read moreorder for a regular Goat Biryani, mild spice level, which is literally the same order I get almost every single time because I cannot handle spicy food at all. When I picked up the order and started eating it, it was extremely spicy to the point where I could visibly see all the spice in it. It was completely inedible for me. I called the restaurant politely just to let them know there may have been a mistake because I know for a fact I ordered mild. I even double checked while placing the order because this is something I always order the same way. Instead of trying to help, the guy on the phone kept insisting that I ordered spicy. That made absolutely no sense because why would I intentionally order food I literally cannot eat? I have no tolerance for spice at all. What made it worse was how dismissive and rude the conversation became. He kept saying things like "I heard you correctly" and blamed it on two orders coming in at the same time. Instead of taking accountability for a simple mistake, he kept trying to argue with me and basically imply I was lying about my own order. I even went back to the restaurant to explain the situation in person, and he still kept insisting that I had ordered the biryani spicy. At that point I was so frustrated that I just threw the food away in the trash right in front of them and left because there was clearly no effort being made to resolve the issue. The frustrating part is this is not even the first issue I've had here. Another time they completely gave me the wrong order but I didn't make a big deal about it because mistakes happen. This time was different because of how poorly the situation was handled and how defensive the employee became instead of trying to resolve it professionally. I've been ordering from here for a while, but after this experience and the customer service I received, I definitely will not be returning.
