    Chicken samosa
    Marlyn V.

    We came to dine outdoors here and loved that the tent was so romantic despite the state of the world. They had music going, twinkle lights and Nassau street in the summer is always a nice ambiance to just enjoy a meal. As for the food, we were impressed with how fast the service was considering they had to run in and out of the kitchen upstairs and bring it out. We started with a delicious Samosas appetizer and I could've honestly had another plate of those and called it a night. But we decided to order a Mint special Kebab Platter as well. It came with a ton of chicken and some fancy potatoes too. Although the seasoning on the chicken was great (there were about 3 different types)! I definetely could've used some sauce with it because it was a bit dry. Not inedible dry...I guess I was used to other very saucey Indian dishes and wanted something to pair with a charred meat. Overall I would return, the food was good and the service was fast.

    conveniently located near princeton university! This place is a little older looking inside but overall is nicely decorated and a great place to eat. my friends and i stopped by around 3pm on saturday and it was not crowded at all. the thali is a great deal at only $22.9 for all those little dishes! it had everything i love to get when i order indian food. i would definitely come back and get the same thing! my friend got the biryani which i tried. it was served so nicely in the clay pot with naan over the top! the biryani was not bad, some parts did not have a lot of flavor but my friend noted it may have helped if he mixed the entire bowl up before eating. i got another thali to go for another friend and the portions were even larger in the to go! overall great place with good food and kind staff. i will be back!

    Mughlai Chicken Korma- absolutely delicious!

    Came here around 6:30PM tonight (Saturday) and enjoyed a nice dinner. Would recommend reservation, but also looks like there is outside dining. Our absolute fave was the Chicken Korma. My mango lassi was good too and not too thick like at other places. We also got the mint special (like a mixed grill) and lobster bisque. Lobster bisque was a little too salty for us, but we try to keep to low sodium so might be normal for other people. My only complaint is that it was very warm inside and just one fan circulating. I tend to run cold and was sweating. That was a bit uncomfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and staff was super friendly!

We got chicken, tikka masala, palik paneer, veg biryani, and lamb vindaloo. Spent like $120 and I'm not happy with any of the dishes that I got. Threw away the chicken tikka masala because it was flavorless mostly just a heavy cream flavor. The lamb vindaloo is low on flavor as well. The palik paneer It's just OK. For the prices, I expected much better and do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. What a disappointment. Update ***Got a call from the restaurant and they said because i asked for mild heat they said they purposefully make the food bland. No offer for any kind of refund. What a waste of money.

We would have been grateful enough for a warm restaurant and decent food, but I certainly didn't expect to find my favorite Indian food in New Jersey here (I know that's a big claim; it was just that good). Let's address the elephant in the room here: sometimes Indian food doesn't look camera-ready. For instance, my absolute favorite thing here was the chana palak, an extremely flavor-packed curry with chickpeas and spinach. What shows up (regretfully) as a greenish mud in pictures is actually an absolute flavor bomb in the mouth. Truly, I still have dreams about this dish. If looks matter to you, I also highly recommend the salmon tandoori special. It arrived on a sizzling platter (the kind that makes heads turn and eyes lock as it approaches the lucky table). There was more flavor to be had here, and I adore a dish that's hot enough to carry a blister risk while eating...especially in the middle of an icy snowstorm. Service was incredibly warm, welcoming, and efficient. Our server checked in with us the exact right number of times, and he repeatedly asked about whether we wanted to take leftovers home, the way a friend or kind auntie might after you've dined sumptuously at her table.

They have a long list of unique dosa fillings including paneer, onion, eggs, Indian flavored lays chips, crushed samosas, and even meat fillings such as lamb, chicken, and beef and sweet fillings such as Nutella and strawberry jam. The items are prepared by the efficient staff known as "dosa jockeys" in an open kitchen with limited seating available. The dosas are delicious with golden crispy edges and tender warm filling. The canteen sandwiches are particularly unique and delicious consisting of three slices of bread with one in the middle toasted with melted chili cheese, shallots, and cheddar. It takes 25 minutes to prepare. We washed it down with sweet lime soda, an Indian concoction that is hard to find outside of India consisting of lime soda, cumin powder, rock salt, lime slices, and mint leaves.

In spite of good reviews and a second change in decor, that business was not able to survive very long. As I walked in to pick up my order I had mixed feelings. Sad about the fact that another very good and unique European restaurant was gone, and wondering about the future success of the new business. I noticed that the place had been painted and redecorated once again . This I guess could be called an Indian fusion house, offering many common dishes along with some I had not heard of. They also have Indo Chinese options. My first visit was so good that I thought I would return once more before reviewing. I tried the garlic naan and aloo paratha, both good to very good. The paratha was very thin and had a delicately spiced potato mixture inside, I wished there was more filling but enjoyed as it was. The chicken 65 tasted very good, but had too much sauce as I would have preferred the pieces of meat to be crispy. Chicken Radha was a rustic curry with about half of a bone in chicken. I loved this dish and the portion was 2 meals. Chicken biryani was equally tasty and came with very good raita. Chicken Manchow soup was new to me, think hot and sour soup and then add copious amounts of ginger and garlic. You have to like garlic to appreciate this soup, and I do and did! Service was friendly on both visits and orders were packed up very well, with additional onion, lime and peppers for the biryani and crispy noodles to top the soup with. A good friend went to dine in and had a great meal too, taking advantage of the all you can eat lunch Thali. I'm at about 4.5 stars for now....
