“We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Cilantro Naan, and Cumin Rice this time, and everything was absolutely delicious”
The food was pretty awful because of how mild the spices were.
“I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write a review on this place.”
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write a review on this place. It’s become our go-to date night spot. I’ve tried a lot of local Indian restaurants over the years and this place is special. The food is delicious, portions are extremely generous (2-3 meals from an entrée and we like to eat), and it has a homey feel. You can go casual or dress up and you won’t feel out of place. The food always looks as great as it tastes. I feel like you can taste the love and effort put into each dish. My husband’s go-to is the shrimp vindaloo and it’s complex and balanced to round out the heat. Yesterday we ordered the Malai Chicken Tikka (pictured) and I thought about it all night and when I woke up this morning-it’s that good. Butter chicken, tandoori chicken, goan shrimp, really any dish we’ve had there has been amazing. We haven’t tried the lamb but it looks amazing. The garlic naan! Oooohh my gosh it’s good-we always order 2 and get extra to bring home. They are HUGE but so delicious we never want to share. Their lunch specials are also phenomenal and so reasonable! The soup was delicious and I wish I had asked what it was called. Portions are still incredibly generous and we couldn’t even come close to finishing our meals.

Where do I begin? This was my Mother’s and I first time dining at the exquisite restaurant and we felt welcomed from the moment that we walked in. Our waiter Gerardo was so friendly and just a joy to be around. He made wonderful recommendations on our food selections and checked on us frequently. We also enjoyed speaking with Dipti who gave us a brief history lesson of India regarding the languages and the cuisines. Now for the food… The presentation alone was a 10/10! The flavor was just the icing on the cake. I am so happy to have found this restaurant and am looking forward to returning.

“Excellent choice.”
Excellent choice. The menu offered great options and nice clean environment. Food was simply excellent. Love the option of sundried tomato cheese naan! We tried Paneer Pakora and the mix of spices and the mango chutney was so delicious!

“This place is a hidden gem.”
This place is a hidden gem. The atmosphere and setting is modern and gives a great vibe. We ordered the vegetable kohlapuri, kadai paneer and naan. The food was great, every item was lip smackingly delicious. Overall I would give this place a double thumbs up!

“The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great.”
The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. Each dish had so much flavor. It made me understand why people pray before eating and I’m not even religious

“Ordered takeout and every dish was great.”
Ordered takeout and every dish was great! No frills, just good flavors. We ordered biriyani with plain Raita, an extra order of okra Raita, and palak paneer which comes with rice. The portion sizes are excellent and you can easily share or get multiple servings out of an order.

“This place has a beautiful atmosphere and soothing background music accompanied with the great smell of all the spices.”
This place has a beautiful atmosphere and soothing background music accompanied with the great smell of all the spices. The server Sreekanth was the kindest soul. He described all the dishes to us and helped us maneuver our food restrictions. We ordered some appetizers that in my opinion were definitely main dishes on their own. I highly recommend the Malai chicken tikka along with some plain Naan. The sauce that comes with the chicken was phenomenal. We also got chicken biryani along with some sheesh kebab as well. We then ended off with some desert. The overall experience was amazing and I will definitely be visiting this place again.

“The absolute best Indian food outside Chicago.”
The absolute best Indian food outside Chicago! They serve large portions at affordable prices, which is a must-have. This restaurant boasts an extensive menu that caters to every palate. The culinary team is highly skilled and most confident in their abilities. The ambiance is intimate yet inviting, and the service is impeccable. The artwork and decor are visually appealing, adding to the overall dining experience. There was an unpleasant odor in the back hallway, however the restrooms were spotless. Sreekanth, with his friendly and knowledgeable demeanor, took the time to explain the entire menu, ensuring we made the right choices. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were reluctant to stop eating. The entrées were incredible, and the bread was fantastic. However, the rice was nothing special it had perfect texture, but a very starchy and over salted taste. They definitely need to improve their management of incoming customers and food deliveries. Since there’s no front host/hostess desk, everyone tends to gather in the middle of the restaurant. Without a doubt, we are coming back here to try the entire menu.

“I’m still sitting in the restaurant parking lot as I type this.”
I’m still sitting in the restaurant parking lot as I type this. This is some of the best food I’ve had and the portions are plentiful. The waiters are on top of it & favors will have you returning ASAP. So good, 10/10 recommend. We had the vegetable samosas, tikka masala chicken, chicken vindaloo, cumin rice & garlic cilantro naan. It’s al la carte. 1 dish can be plenty for 2 but who doesn’t want to experience multiple flavors 🤤?
