Very nice ! Good taste. Need to improve the biryani quality. Use basmati..Change the rice type and add some safron flavor. Butter chicken is nice. Naan / bread basket is very good. Mango lassi is super good!

They hosted a huge group of us and were so happy to serve us, even though it was a lot of work. Food slapped, the naan wasn’t my favorite, but other people loved it.

My first time having Indian food and it will not be the last. We ordered the curry lamb and the Tikka masala lamp. The flavor was excellent. I personally recommend the Tikka masala for the flavor although the lamb was more tender on the curry dish. The rice was flavorful. We also had the dahi papri for an appetizer excellent choice with the garlic naan bead. The place is authentic. The only thing I wish would have been different is that they had no music playing. I would have loved some Indian music to bring the complete the experience. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant.

One of the best Nepalese food we’ve had in CT, stopped by on the way back to MA. Vishnu who attended to us during our visit was very friendly and courteous. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

I visit at least twice a month. Love Navrattan Korma. Convenient to my home. Staff friendly ,efficient, and welcoming. Often see South Asian customers from students to families. Not expert in cuisine of India so gave it four stars but could be a five.
