"This food reminded me of McDonald's take on Indian cuisine. I ordered a lamb vindaloo with the chef's special on the side, along with a lamb curry and aloo mutter gobi. What I got was essentially the same dish: one was a bit spicier (4 out of 5) while the other was completely tasteless (0 out of 5). Both dishes were nearly identical despite being different orders, and both contained only a few pieces of lamb, with most of the content being potatoes. Although I understand it was a lunch special, I found the overall quality to be very disappointing. The spicy dish with chilies was quite good, but the other one, which should have been distinct, was awful. We spent $40 on this meal, and since I rarely order takeout due to my tight budget, this was undoubtedly my worst experience in a long time. If you're seeking authentic Indian food for delivery, I recommend going with Seva instead. This was not satisfactory, and I won't be ordering from this place again."

The chicken biryani at this restaurant was very disappointing. It didn't resemble authentic biryani at all. The chicken was overcooked and unappetizing, while the rice was undercooked. I would suggest steering clear of this dish altogether.

I had an amazing experience at the restaurant! The staff was welcoming, and we were seated promptly. The Chicken Tikka Masala was absolutely delicious and served quickly, along with some flavorful garlic naan. I will definitely be coming back! View menu

The service was outstanding, but the food was disappointing. Everything was excessively sweet. I suspect the chef may be Thai, as the Indian curries had a strong resemblance to Thai dishes. Why come here and pretend to enjoy Indian cuisine? I can't recommend this restaurant.

This could very well be the best Indian restaurant I've ever visited. I really appreciate the cleanliness, the use of fresh ingredients, and the high quality of the food. Unlike many Indian restaurants, the dishes here are not overly salty, spicy, or heavy. It's a cozy family-run establishment, and the attention to detail is evident in both the dishes they serve and the upkeep of the space.
