“ Great tasty Indian food, Been here many times and the food is consistently great, The workers are all friendly, They play nice music from Indian which adds a wonderful ambiance. ”
“ Food is amazing! Even though it may take a little while to come out, it's worth the wait. Chicken Korma is to die for! ”
“ Food and service was incredible! We (2 people) ordered the Calamari app, Saag Mushroom Hydrabadi Chicken with an order of rice and 2 orders of Garlic Naan. Not only was it delicious but we also have enough for a late night snack as well! Definitely will be back to try more items! ”
“ Well. We just love this place. Although by square footage the space is rather small, it creates a larger and open appearance by large glass window area in front. It just feels warm and good to settle down here after a busy day. The staff (Monika, Happy (for real!!!, I want to have this name), and Shamsher) are friendly beyond belief and make you feel right at home. We are not an expert of Indian music, but it feels a bit more experimental (rap, anyone?) than many other Indian restaurants and after a glass of wine you just starting to bob your head to the rhythm. There is an open kitchen and food comes direct from stove on our plates. The menu includes mostly Indian staples that are fresh and delicious. In all the hustle-bustle of the modern restaurant business, this place has a lot how a great night at a neighborhood restaurant used to be. Go there, but please don't ruin it for us. Cheers ”
