The portions are great, food was authentic and tasty. Service was perfectly attentative without being overbearing. We had the tempura vegetables as an appetizer which was excellent.

I get that I'm older, and probably not the clientele they are looking for, but they have never ever been attentive, even when like yesterday I was the only one sitting at the bar. They genuinely make me feel like they don't want me on there and am more of a nuisance to them. Fooswise, I have can't really say anything great about it. It's pretty basic, you can get better Indian food from so many other places in the metro area. I was hoping that their menu might be more adventurous and interesting but it was pretty run of the mill. It's not bad food by any means, but it's not going to impress you either. As far as their cocktail menu goes, I don't think they have a true cocktail lead, the drinks range from basic and uninspired to kind of gross. Being from Kerala I was interested in the Kerala Mule, and boy did I regret it. Either they don't like South Indians and purposely made it terrible or they need to taste their drinks before putting it on the menu. The more standard drinks were very well made. Aesthetically this is a beautiful spot. They really brought the colors and the design. The DJ stand being an old Indian motorcycle is a great touch. The pool table in the center of the restaurant is lovely as is the colorful umbrellas that adorn the ceiling. Visually an eye catching spectacle that really heightens the experience. At night this turns into more of a club feel, the dark lighting and the DJ can make it a fun night out. Bonus point for having an old Aishwarya Rai movie on the big screen. So while I might not specifically come for the food, I would come and have a more classic cocktail or beer and either start or end my night here, assuming I wasn't ignored the whole time.

OMG when I say this restaurant needs to be closed, I mean it. I didn't even get any pictures…read morebecause I was just so disgusted. My friend convinced me to try this place with her which is why I went (its not close to me at all). The food was surprisingly good considering the fact that previous reviews mentioned mold in their pre-packaged items. The worst thing about this restaurant is the disgusting bathroom. Files were buzzing around my head, piles of tissue and paper towel all over, the toilet was full of piss before I could actually pee & there was barely any soap to wash my hands. I saw one of the employees go to the restroom after me and I know he didnt wash his hands because he was in there for like one minute tops. The fact that I survived after eating there is a miracle because if the bathroom isnt clean then how is the kitchen clean? Needless to say, I will never eat here again. The service was decent but it was still not enough for me to feel comfortable trying this place out another time.

Extra kudos for bringing a free rice pudding to the table for us to try, it was amazing ;) For dine-in, they bring a payment processor to the table for checkout. The naans were fluffy and crispy, not gritty or burnt. Medium spice level on entrees is spicy, but not painful. Perfect. The tandoori chicken was absolutely phenomenal. Can't wait to try more dishes here!!

The older staffer seems more friendly and checked up on us. Ordered 2 dall soup, medium spice: Gobi Manchurian, Chana masala, dal tadka, butter chicken and mango chicken hot spice. 3 Naan and one rice with each main dish. $78.37 Gobi isn't crispy at all, soggy, it's okay. Not spicy. Heavy breading. The cauliflower falls out of some of the breading. The Daal soup is good, although quite watery. The mango and butter chicken sauce flavors are good, the spicy is definitely got a healthy kick. The chicken pieces are big chunks and they are dry and overcooked. The butter naan is good soft and billowy. The Chana and dal tadka tasted okay, although I did find either a white hair or white stringy lint in the Chana. I was told it might be onion or ginger. Some tandoori chicken is smoking and it's making us cough some. It's tickling our noses. We had to pay quickly and get out of there.

Every dish I order is exactly the flavor profile, the spice level, the everything I want it to be. I've eaten a lot of Indian food, but this place never misses. Favorites are the Cholay, Palak Paneer, Butter Chicken, Chicken 65, Pakoras, Chili cheese naan, and the veggie samosas, but I have never had anything less than tasty. Put the green chili chutney on everything. Only complaint is they used to have dessert options of gulab jamun or kheer, and I don't think they offer the kheer since dine-in cratered during Covid. Could be wrong, but it was delicious and I miss it. Love you Phulkari Punjabi!

Highly recommend this place, try a little of everything and you'll be sure to find a favorite.

She asked if garlic bread was wanted yes... Did we want to drink something "Yes" we do grabbed a soda I asked for a cup to share the soda ( should not be drinking soda. She opened a bag with the gloved hands that had taken money from others and handed the cups with fingers inside cups ( that was disgusting) When seated to wait for food ( they do bring it to table), I noted plastic plates and plastic ware were given to customers across the way. Their food was brought to them in take away boxes. I don't like eating in plastics at a restaurant. We had the food topped and brought it home I had the Butter chicken, it had some flavor not enough to order again. The goat dish Curry Goat-- had bones (no flavor) None Perhaps I wanted a Burst of flavor that was to sing about. Perhaps because the goat dish was prepared "mild" heat would have given flavor Other restaurants in the area do serve on real dishes The setting was plain that was ok its in a College area.

It's within walking distance from my parent's home and I figured I'd give a new place a try. I asked for an order of Vegetable Pakoras ($4) and six Lamb Samosas ($15) to go. Although the restaurant was pretty empty, it took about 30 minutes for my appetizers to arrive. I wouldn't have minded the long wait if the food tasted decent. The pakoras were average and the Lamb Samosas were extremely dry. The filling contained ground lamb mixed with minimal onions and spices. I should've chosen a more traditional samosa, like veggie or chicken. I'm just surprised such mediocre appetizers are being served to customers. I rated this place three stars because I didn't try the entrees. I hope the latter taste better, but I'll never know as I don't plan to visit this restaurant again.

They had a Buffett when we got there so we decided that was a good option to try the different foods. Pros: hardly anyone in there at 2:00 pm on this Sunday (04/30/2023) - The taste of the food was flavored well. Enjoyed the flavor. Cons: The food was lukewarm to cold. Had curry chicken that was terribly undercooked. It seemed like a recipe for some food poisoning. Now as of 6:00 pm there is no issues so that is a real plus. I do not like giving low stars but it is almost impossible not to do that in this case. The young lady was nice when we walked in but that was the end of any communication. Won't be back.
