The tandoori chicken was moist and flavorful. My favorite was the mango chicken, a bit sparse on the amount of meat to sauce, but wow! - so unusual and tasty. We also ordered Palak Paneer- excellent with nice sized pieces of paneer. Dal Tadka - mild but flavorful; Chana Masala - perfect balance of spices; and Eggplant Bharta- wonderfully smoky and delicious (a hidden gem!!) All the breads were fresh, tasty and generous. We especially liked the Tandoori Roti. If you have never had Amritsari Kulcha, try it out here! It comes with containers of delicious tamarind and mint chutney. We will definitely return and eat in sometime soon. My husband said the restaurant was very welcoming and looked very nice. Thank you for an exceptional meal!!!! Crystal Lal

I brought my parents here to try Indian food for the first time, and I was nervous for two reasons…read more- (1) my parents are conservative eaters and I was afraid they wouldn't like it, and (2) I myself had never eaten at this restaurant before. Either way, I was nervous they wouldn't have a good meal. But I held my breath and hoped that the reviews I'd read beforehand were accurate. For the most part, they were. The garlic naan was incredible. My parents went silent when they first tried it, then quietly maneuvered the basket toward themselves while leaving rice for the rest of us. The chana masala and chicken tikka masala were also spot on - rich, saucy, and flavorful. Our salmon tandoori announced its own arrival to our table as big chunks of delicate meat on a sizzling platter. The larger pieces weren't completely cooked through, but we just let them sit on the hot flatware for a minute or two more. Spice babies, beware. We requested 'mild' as the spice level for all our orders because medications have changed my mom's sensitivity to spice. Even then, the heat crept invisibly onto her palate. "I don't know where it's coming from," she said, fanning her mouth. Even as a spice lover, I could detect there a thrum of baseline spice in most of our meals. You might want to temper the spice the way we did - by ordering a mango lassi. I've yet to meet a mango lassi I didn't like, Punjab's included. Here, they include a drizzle of something jammy along the sides of the glass. I didn't think it necessary (the lassi by itself is already fantastic!), but great for those who like their drinks sweet and photogenic. Inside, the restaurant space feels like what I'd call 'upscale casual'. It's nice - in fact, it's a lot nicer than a lot of Indian restaurants I've been in. But it's not the kind of 'nice' that makes you feel like you can't grab a meal here in your sweatpants. There's no dedicated parking lot, but there are a good number of spots along the nearby side streets (just pay attention to street signs that designate no parking days and times).

The cherry on top was they made a small turkey and sides for anyone in the restaurant to share so we still got to have some yummy Thanksgiving food on the side of our meal (and I got my stuffing fix which was the only thing I was missing that day!).

For the main course, we had Garlic Naan (soft and garlicky) with Baingan Bharta, which had that perfect smoky, roasted taste. Ended our meal with Gulab Jamun, soft and sweet just right. They also have a banquet hall for small events -- I once saw an Indian celebration happening there, which was a nice touch. Overall, amazing food, great service, and lovely ambiance -- a place worth revisiting!

We had a lime soda, which was housemade but too sweet. I could feel granules of sugar. The aloo chaat was boring and flavorless. Potatoes could be softer. The goat biryani is enoughfor 3 servings and comes out in a huge bowl. The meat was very good and tender but the flavoring/sauce was a bit too spicy and salty. This unfortunately upsetted my stomach.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly woman who took my order, which was a nice start. The service was quick--I only waited a couple of minutes before receiving my food. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. What I received was not what I expected. A proper falafel sandwich is typically served inside a pita, but this one came wrapped like a burrito. For $9.25, I got just four falafel patties--not balls--and they were large, mushy, lacked crispness, and had very little flavor. The quantity was underwhelming and didn't justify the price. Not only was the sandwich disappointing, but I also haven't felt well since eating it. While the rest of the menu seems popular, judging by how busy the place was, the mystery meats in the trays didn't look appealing to me either. I wanted to like this place, but based on this experience, I don't think I'll be returning.
