Dropped in for dinner with my family, kids first time having curry and we definitely enjoyed every bit of it! Great customer service, they were very kind and polite as I tried to explain the options to my kiddos! Food was served with great timing, we got an appetizer and had more than enough time to enjoy them, talk about our day a bit & the dinner plates were on the way over to our table! Thank you for the great experience!

I had the pleasure of enjoying this restaurant for my birthday! The atmosphere was nice and the service was really helpful for those not familiar with Indian cuisine. The mango lassi and mango mule mocktail were lovely beverages for the mango lover in me. The naan basket was a delicious appetizer that paired well with the many curries we had the pleasure of enjoying. For dessert I highly recommend the rice pudding or pistachio kulfi. I even got a complimentary chocolate cake & cheesecake for my birthday. Would highly recommend!

Everything we ordered was phenomenal. Our favorite was the Malai Methi Kofta and I love the description for the Palak Paneer... "it's an emotion". The staff was effusively kind and welcoming. I can't wait to try to the lunch buffet.

I arranged a birthday dinner here for a friend. When I called to ask about a space big enough for our large group as well as a few other details, the owners were incredibly accommodating. We were given a large room toward the back of the restaurant all to ourselves. The service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. The butter chicken, chicken biryani, and naan were great! This was our first visit to this restaurant, but it will not be our last!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is colorful, cozy, and very welcoming. It was my husband and I's first time at this restaurant and we plan on frequenting it because of the awesome food , the polite staff, and the sweet owners. When I asked our waiter if they had egg curry on their menu, he said no but gladly accommodated us which was super sweet and appreciated. Egg curry was one of the first dishes I had when meeting my husband's family for the first time 13 years ago so it holds a soft spot in my heart. I can't wait till the next we stop by to dine in, this restaurant deserves all the love and I plan on recommending them to our friends.

I've been here twice, had takeout once and dined in once. The food was great both times. Service was quick even on New Year's Eve. Spice level is 1-5 and I chose 3. Perfect level for me.

This is the best Indian restaurant I have ever tried! The lamb was so tender and flavorful, with no trace of gaminess. The portions were generous, ideal for sharing between two people. My husband had the butter chicken, while I opted for the lamb masala and Punjabi lamb platter. Our server was attentive and accommodating, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. The ambiance was also pleasant and contemporary. We got a complimentary rice pudding which is awesome!

We ordered samosas, pepper chicken appetizer, fried cauliflower in a tangy sauce, butter chicken and dal (black lentils) and garlic naan. Food was delicious. Food heat 1-5 and we chose a 3 which was perfect. It is a mom and pop/family place. It's the real deal. No shortcuts here. Come with your patience and get ready for tasty food. We are from NY and currently transplanted here. My new go to.
