"We have ordered from this place for the past 10 years. They must have changed the chef or management in the last few months. So disappointed. First sign that things weren’t as they used to be is that there was no “Indian food” smell to the food at all!! One of the best thing when you pick up food is how great it smells in your car when you’re driving home in anticipation of a great meal. This time… nothing..And then there is the food itself. The onion chutney, which used to be so awesomely spicy that you could handle just a tiny bit.. no spice at all. No taste.. just blah onions. The chicken tikka masala.. instead of a thick, yummy sauce we got some runny consistency something that had no flavor at all. Trader Joe’s version is 10 times better. Lamb briani had 0 flavor.. it had heat, weirdly enough, but no actual flavor. The meat samosas and garlic naan were not bad. But certainly not worth the $65 we paid for dinner.This place used to be great. So disappointing. Never again."

Being honest the food was below average, I don’t want to pick the place apart. But it needs work .

Delicious Biryani and Palak Paneer. Attentive service. And that warm moist towel to end is always a nice touch.

Chicken soup, lamb rack, lamb masala, chicken masala, mango lassi OMG EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING LAMB WAS A-mazing nice and tender and flavor was unbelievably delicious! I went here with my husband and our 4 kids a month ago and we still talk about taking a trip (we live 1.5-2 hours away) to indulge. Kid-friendliness: They were very accommodating and very patient View menu

I ordered the chicken biryani and was disappointed to find that it lacked flavor. It seemed like they simply mixed plain boiled rice with some curry and passed it off as biryani. The chicken pieces were bland and lacked any seasoning, with only the outer coating being yellow in color. The rice was undercooked. Thankfully, it was served with yogurt (raita) which added some much-needed taste to the dish.
Himani
The food was below average, we ordered Chicken Jafrani, chicken soup and pakoras.The chicken has no taste and curry has no flavors. Chicken pieces were very hard. I hope they focus more on curries and the taste. The chicken soup was poorly made( not authentic chicken soup) and weird smell.I would recommend Naans, they were fresh.Hope the feedback is taken into consideration and we will have great food during Halloween season.

If you are planning to visit, make reservations before coming to this place and be sure of the time they open (confirm the time with them). We went to the half-empty restaurant (without reservation) and they said that they were closed till 3PM, even though their website says they are open from 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM. We went back at 3 PM and they turned us back again, saying they’d open at 4 PM. Bad service overall, which is too bad because the food smelled good. View menu

I ordered a lamb biryani and a lamb kabob. The kabob was fresh, juicy, and delicious. However, the biryani was not what I expected at all. I was surprised to find bell peppers, green peas, and mushrooms in it. I requested it to be extra spicy, but it lacked any spice and flavor. Additionally, the portion size was smaller compared to other places and the box was not filled properly. I was very disappointed with the biryani. If you are looking for authentic biryani, this is not the place to go.

DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY AUTHENTIC INDIAN FOOD Absolutely disgusting food. The only good thing about this so-called Indian restaurant is the American-made Coca-Cola. I 've visited many Indian food joints in the US, and none have messed up raita as badly as this place. The food has no seasoning and is absolutely bland. It was served within 2 minutes of ordering, clearly indicating that almost everything is microwaved. The biryani is nothing but plain rice with meat chunks. Avoid this restaurant at all costs.
