"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"

"we have told the server (one of the owners is that we were vegan and he took away our menus and said that we don't need them and then tell us that he would serve us the most amazing vegan meals of our life. I was very excited to let someone else make the decisions and he brought us two mysterious dishes where we had to guess what the main ingredient was. we were wrong, but spent the meal completely melted in the solution of the secret that added to the culinary experience. I will not say what the mysterious ingredients were, so they can have their own experience, but eating was absolutely amazing and so tasteful and creatiw. the dishes were a combination of Indian and Italian or Indian and Mexican, who really go well together. we went back in the next night for two different mysteries dishes and then ordered three more meal times to go for the next day when we drove to the house down the Californian coast. it is a family-run device that adds to the warmth and friendliness of the place. we huged when we left last time. it really made a difference that the owner was also the server because he knew everything about her eating and what vegan is and was so excited to prepare us something new and interesting (instead of saying something like oh, so that she eat fish? or I need to check if they can do this without eating. we loved it there and look forward to the next time we are in the opposite! 2022, a few years later, returned and equally happy. they made us enchiladas with a maulp and what tasted like a mango sauce, and hung through disc wipers with grilled vegetables. delicious! updated by previous review on 2022-02-01"
