The food was excellent and the ambiance was fantastic. You can't beat the good service either. We got the butter chicken and garlic naan, which were perfect and flavorful.

This place is so cool. I came here with friends and we sat in the area with the cushions and pillows. We had a blast. And we loved all the food we ate. I honestly was having too much fun to pay attention to what was what but I didn't dislike anything I tried. I also would love to come back and try some more things! This was a great experience and me and my friends all loved it. To Try: Drink: Nagpur Lassi Loved: - Appetizer: Papad - Naan: Garlic Liked: - Daryaganj- Makhani - Drink: Mango Lassi - Indori - Kofta Lamb - Jalandari Kadai Chicken

They have an incredible Ramadan menu right now. I had the goat pakwaan for $35. This dish is off the charts delicious! And is so much food.

I'm 54 years old and I've eaten Indian food all over the world. This is the best Indian food I've ever had.

I cannot remember what this was, but it was a little spicy, but good.

The only thing I need warn about this place is to make sure you have time to wait. We came right when they opened for lunch and probably waited 20-25 minutes for all our food. HOWEVER, that being said... it's worth the wait!! Everything was amazing and the dining area is very nice, great atmosphere for this restaurant. I ordered paneer indori, which was so good. That gravy would be great to take home and put on some biscuits too! I also had the curry roll which was probably my favorite. It had a lot of flavor and fulfilling I cannot remember what my husband ordered specifically, but he had to get chicken as they were out of goat when we went. They also toned down the spice a bit for him and it was perfect. My son ordered tacos and they were delicious for being "just tacos." We also shared the butter bread and cheese bread. The cheese was by far better! I wish we had time to have desserts, next time. I'd recommend this place to anyone!

I hate to be the one, but... This restaurant has a gorgeous interior, interesting menu (and the food is delicious!) but the service is abysmal!! We got there at noon on Sunday, directly after church. There was one 8 top when we walked in, and that was all the entire time we were there. We started with Channai 65, delicious cauliflower. At least 4 things my husband wanted to order were not available, and the lowest spice level the curry is available in is hot. This must be nuclear, because the medium is HOT. So we ordered the Aloo Gobi for me, and my husband settled in the tandoori chicken Bindi and an order of butter naan. Mine arrived and was really good. I had a bite thinking my husband's was coming out directly after. He told me to eat , and I did, until I had eaten what I could. Still no Bindi. The server never stopped back, or we would have asked for his dish. Finally we got her and asked her about the Bindi. She said she was waiting for us to eat the Aloo Gobi, assuming we were sharing everything. What we shared instead was an extreme dislike for an otherwise promising restaurant.

All I can say is if you like Indian food, GO!! Make a reservation and get ready for excellent service, delicious food with your desired level of spice! Indian spices are such an explosion of spices in your mouth and I find them quite tasty. If something is too spicy order the Riata side and it will mellow the spice. I can't wait to return and try something else! Update: went back the next day bc I introduced my son to it with my leftovers and let me tell you that it heated up perfectly and he loved every bit. I ordered a few other items; the soup, cauliflower dish and chicken manti and it was all super tasty!! We loved every bit of what I brought home. I will definitely frequent this restaurant when I'm in Memphis!! Btw the cocktails looked amazing!! ALSO! I was in a rush to pick up my to go order and left my wallet and didn't realize it until I was 1.5 hours away and called them. I called and they had it in safe keeping and was returned to my husband untouched.

Goat with rice. The sauces were not necessary.

Loved everything about Gus's! I avoid meat mostly, but I was…read morenot about to miss trying famous fried chicken! The restaurant is tucked away on a small, empty street. There is plenty of parking in a lot across the street. We went inside and found it to be pretty busy, but we got a table for 4 quickly. The place was clean and homey-feeling and I loved the fact that they used disposable plates, utensils and napkins! It is probably way easier on the crew to clean up, and it adds to the relaxed atmosphere. I had the corn nuggets to start, yum! We finished them easily, they were so good. Then the entree of my chicken tenders, beans, and Mac and cheese came out, along with my sweet tea. The sweet tea was perfect, I drank a whole one during my meal and they gave me another to go in the souvenir Gus's cup. The food was just great, chicken was juicy and perfectly crunchy on the outside. Beans and Mac and cheese, delicious! I ate all of it even though I was stuffed. I even went so far as to order a piece of pecan pie for dessert, but unfortunately our server came back out to tell us they were out of it! Guess it wasn't meant to be (this time)! Our server was really friendly during our whole meal, chatted with us a little and made sure we had a great experience! Bottom line.... Go to Gus's!

Gus's Fried Chicken was a solid 3 star experience overall. The chicken itself was crispy,…read moreflavorful, and definitely the highlight of the meal. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, making it a comfortable spot to grab a bite. I wasn't really a fan of the mac and cheese, as it leaned way too heavily on the processed cheese flavor and ended up overly cheesy in a not-so-great way. The texture and taste reminded me more of melted processed cheese than a rich, homemade mac and cheese. However, the service was delightful and easily made up for some of the disappointment with the sides. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the visit. While not everything hit the mark for me, the great service and tasty fried chicken make Gus's worth trying if you're in the mood for comfort food.

My sis and I are fans of falafel. The plate came with a bit of hummus but we ordered more separately and are so glad we did! The hummus tasted so good we couldn't stop eating it! They put a little sumac in it and the tweak in the taste really grabbed all of us. Mom liked the falafel so much she wanted to understand what all was in it! We decided to try the fish fahsah and wow were we glad we did! We all agreed this is a must have on the menu for us, though we also want to try the lam version. It had such an incredible combination of flavors! We always like the kabobs and went for the chicken again. The plate includes chicken, rice, pickled vegetables and yogurt. We ordered to go, service as always was great.

Lots of options for parking and you can do a little shopping if you need any of the other shops in the complex! Service is great, the staff was very friendly. I was offered complimentary hot tea upon arrival and even got complimentary lamb broth soup and a small (but delicious!) salad with cucumber, lettuce, tomato with my entree. My first time there I ordered the half grilled chicken plate and hummus. The hummus arrived first and was beautifully plated and came with a huge piece of homemade and FRESH bread. Hummus was delicious and the bread was warm and cozy. The half chicken plate came out and let me tell you, I ate that food for the next three days. It was just little ol' me with a giant half chicken, probably a pint of rice, and a salad of veggies. It was soooooooo good. I love taking a bite of hummus with some rice and some chicken. It makes my heart happy. The next time I went I ordered the chicken kabob plate to try to scale it down. The kabob plate didn't come with the soup and salad, but that was okay because it was still a ton of food! Ten pieces of grilled chicken, a huge serving of rice, and some veggies on the side. I can't wait to eat it for the next few days. This place is easy, right off Perkins exit of the 40, lots of parking, and you can sit by yourself and have a nice long lunch. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing place on the inside, but when the food tastes like it does it doesn't even matter. Bonus it's right next to a cozy Yemeni coffee shop and a Mediterranean grocery store.
