I really wanted to try something mixed, but the worker said it was mostly either or. I really thought there would be more fusion options, but on the menu - the left side was Indian dishes and the right side was Mexican dishes. We did order a chicken tikka taco (sort of Indian/mexican infused) and then decided on butter chicken in medium. For the taco, you can get corn or flour tortilla and we forgot to specify, but thankfully it came out on corn. The butter chicken came with rice and naan (I forgot to ask if I could make it garlic naan) so it comes with regular. For a drink, I got the mango lassi which is like a mango smoothie with yogurt and milk, and he got a mango jarrrito. Our meal came up to about $30, and we decided to dine in. I got my mango lassi very quickly, it was really smooth and creamy texture, very milky mango tasting. I liked it, but my husband didn't care for it. The jarrito has a bottle cap, and on the wall, there is a bottle opener. I didn't even notice it but my husband did, it's unique and convenient. It took about 15ish mins or so to get our food, we like that it's made fresh and was brought to our table. He gave us extra plates as we were sharing our order. The tikka taco was bland, didn't really have much flavor. He gave us two sauces, one green and one red (he said the red is spicy) and even with that it was just ok. It was however very filled. The regular naan was good, especially when I dipped it in the butter chicken sauce. As for the butter chicken, it was decent. We got it in medium spice and it wasn't very spicy to me. The rice paired well with the butter chicken. The food was enough for both of us to share and be full, plus we had leftovers. The inside was quiet, it wasn't busy when we came. They have tables and booths for dining in. They also offer drive thru service. The inside appeared clean. They have 2 restrooms towards the back of the restaurant, one for men and one for women. The women's restroom didn't have any toilet paper.

I will definitely return to try other items on the menu, and would recommend to anyone in the area.

The restaurant is only 2 weeks old, and has already attracted a lot of foodies in the area. Located at the intersection of Stop 11 and Emerson Ave, across from hospitals and close to I-65 makes it easily accessible and popular. There is a huge variety of options on the menu - momos, grilled sandwiches, Kathi rolls/wraps, indo-chinese food and lots of beverage options. The flavors are spot-on and authentic Indian. Another highlight is the pool table and a private room, similar to the Castleton location. The service is good. I took one star off because the restrooms need some attention.

"We don't sell South Indian food." He was super rude, and wrong as hell. All I can assume is a different family bought it but didn't change the name of the store.

A smidge hit. DH liked the kabob and the vegetables it came with had a nice acidic flavor and loved mopping the juice/sauce up with naan. They don't have a fountain for drinks and we didn't get ice for the drinks. Service was a little slow too. It's clean inside.
