“Worst service experience. We were only 5 people, yet the owner added a $15 gratuity. When asked why, he rudely said, “I’ve been in business a long time, I know gratuity.” I ordered 1 garlic naan, but he brought 2 without asking and later charged us for both. When questioned, he argued instead of resolving it. The restaurant was empty, which explains a lot. The owner was rude the entire time, made angry faces whenever we ordered, and even hung up when we called later. Poor customer service and very unprofessional. I am posting my receipt so others can be aware. Do not go to this place unless you want to be deceived. He clearly saw we were students, yet there was no fairness at all—only greed for money.”
“Raw chicken with visible blood inside. Photos attached. Completely unsafe and honestly disgusting. There’s clearly no hygiene or professionalism here. The food tasted terrible, and it doesn’t seem like there’s a trained chef in the kitchen. The restaurant was empty, and after this experience, it’s obvious why. Do not eat here. Avoid.”
“Crossposting from Yelp: I make a concerted effort to support local businesses, but this place makes it nearly impossible. I have eaten here on a couple occasions, and as another review pointed out, the cleanliness of the kitchen makes it feel unsafe to patronize. Also, as a community member, they are a nightmare. They repeatedly leave boxes and food waste unsecured in the adjacent alley. At one point, they left an entire trash bag of spoiled chicken in the alley in the middle of summer. They don't secure their grease trap, so it gets full of other trash, which makes me wonder if they are even properly disposing of grease. Absolutely terrible business.”
“I ordered butter chicken they gave me tofu, I ordered lamb biriyanni them gave me tofu biriyanni. I did take out so I couldn’t check at the place”
“Very nice friendly staff! The shrimp curry and naan was delicious! I will definitely come back again!”
