"This place was such a surprise! We had seen it on TikTok couple of times and we live in the area and went to check it out the first time and we got to the parking lot which was empty all businesses in the plaza closed down, the restaurant looked like it’s boarded up so we thought they had closed down and left. Few months later again in search of good Indian restaurant in the area we found it on google and it had 4.5 stars recent reviews so we decided to go check it out, got to the plaza and realized it was the same boarded up restaurant. But this time we saw 1 person enter. And I said let’s give it a chance and go in. To our surprise the place is really big, good for celebrations and parties. It was pretty empty so we were still skeptical but we saw people come in for take outs. The food is absolutely outstanding! The fusion chicken was perfectly crispy garlicky and peppery with hot pepper flakes and a really delicious mix of spices probably my new favorite and much tastier than chicken 65. The chicken 65 was ok, nice and crispy but lacked flavor, kinda washed up. The goat keema according to my husband is fantastic and reminds him of his childhood. Indeed it was tasty but a bit too strong and heavy of a lamb flavor for me and quite oily, however my husband rated it 100% and mind you he is a keema fan and expert. The cheese naan was nice but not too fluffed up, the cheese is inside the dough so won’t let it rise up, it was delicious nevertheless but more like a paratha with cheese filling. The star of the show is definitely their biryani line up. The goat dum biryani is out of this world experience where each grain has flavor and aroma and exceptionally fluffy separated not sticky not oily not dry, nice soft moist and flavorful with magical biryani spices. The goat meat was thoroughly and perfectly marinated flavored and super tender and juicy and aromatic! Definitely the best biryani I’ve tried in the US and I’ve tried other states too. The exceptional food was topped with exceptional aromatic masala tea and masala coffee, both extremely flavorful and aromatic with thick consistency and very fresh. This is definitely our new favorite restaurant for Indian food and we are lucky we are so close!!! Can’t believe we left the first time : ."

"This is my GoTo restaurant because I live next to it. I'm ordering food for 3 years and I find tasty Andhra/Telangana and some mixed recipes good in the beginning, but eventually the food quality and attention to detail, respect to the money customers is paying came down drastically.I ordered Konaseema Kodi Pulav yesterday night. This is my experience:This is a new item they added to their menu few months ago. It's like Pulav rice with chicken as a pack. This recipe used to be interesting at the beginning, but recently, the quality and taste is worst. Yesterday I have ordered this and we couldn't eat it at all. The Pulav rice is good as always, but the chicken fry is just a dump of left overs. They don't have common sense and respect for money customer is spending. They just dumped poor quality chicken and tasted disguising.In the chicken I got 9 chicken neck skins, can you believe it? I specifically counted to show their level of disrespect to the food what I paid for. Not even a single good chicken piece to eat, everything is just a dump. I can't even feed to my dog. I thrown everything out. I have added few photos to show the level of poor quality. I won't suggest to order or not to order from here. I leave it your choice.Although we are experiencing poor quality food at this place in recent times, but we don't want to write a review negatively. Now I want to make it clear to the chef and restaurant management that this is not my GoTo restaurant any more.Remember one thing, you are not doing any charity for us. We are paying our hard earned money and we reserve the right to expect good food."
