"I have to say that I was impressed with the food. Specifically because Lafayette is a small city and not a melting pot like Houston, LA or NYC where you can find so many choices. I mentioned that the chef had to be from India, and my guess was right. When I tasted the food, I knew the ingredients were balanced in a way that whoever is cooking, he is someone experienced and had to be born in the Indian region where he can tell the exact taste and balance the spices that makes it delicious. Our waitress Allie was very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. She is a great listener and willing to learn. Lamb Biryani: The lamb was cooked to perfection. Very tender, great portion with respect to rice. Many places put 3 pieces and fill the whole plate with rice to save on cost and take away from the quality of the dish. My only comment is the riata should not be in a plastic cup. It took away from the presentation of the metal bowl. Butter Chicken: Sauce was equally balanced in respect to flavor. The creamy sauce was not too much buttery to the point where you can taste the butter and not too watery where you don't taste the main ingredients of the sauce. Chicken was soft and also cooked right. Some places you will eat the chicken and it has that little hard bite as if you're biting an undercooked steak fries. Samosas : Absolutely amazing, with the Tamarindo. Nan Garlic Bread: Delicious, dipping it with the butter chicken sauce was amazing. I would add the crispy bread Pappdum as soon as guests sit on the table. Ambience: I would invest a little bit lighting bulbs, decor here and there, some Indian music in the background to give that full experience. Entrance: Can be decorated better with Indian sari, vase, and accents. Overall, loved the place, keep up the quality of the food. Invest little more in the place and start working on some marketing strategies. This place has lots of potential. Highly recommended"

"Service is 6/5. I recommend so much (this is the PERFECT date night spot). SABI OUR SERVICER WAS LITERALLY SO AMAZING!! She was kind, attentive, and she handled my thousands of questions with professionalism. She gave me such clarity on the menu. I ordered the blueberry martini, my boyfriend ordered the Bombay cocktail as well. Both drinks are a 1 and done. Great drink for $15. We ordered the shrimp for appetizer and it was so FRESH and FLAVORFUL please get it. I ordered the Yellow Crab Curry for my entree, but subbed the crab for shrimp. My boyfriend got the lamb shank and we shared the garlic naan. —— as an Indian food lover, the naan was the best I ever had and my boyfriend truly regretted not getting the Yellow Crab curry because it was delicious. His shank was flavorful as well. I asked for my curry to be spicy and they made it with just the amount of spice. My boyfriend and I live in Temple Hills which is 45 50 mins away but we took a chance and tried this place and I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. That’s how good it is. This is my boyfriend’s favorite place now that we went. I love Joyti in Adams Morgan but it’s hard for me to pick a restaurant over the other because Joyti has the Kadai Chicken which I absolutely love but due to parking, Commonwealth Indian is absolutely way more easier to get to with a car.
