Was a bit of a disappointment. I ordered somecurries, somosas, and naan. The curries were basically soup with meat in it. Very watery and lacked flavor. It seemed like the sauces had the consistency of soup, rather than a gravy. The somosas were good but not great, and garlic naan was very good with a strong garlic taste. However, the curries DID NOT COME WITH RICE. Who sells curries without including rice? As the majority of the cost was the curries which were very disappointing and rice was not included, I found the results very disappointing..

I don’t know why this place has only 3.9 stars. It’s just DELICIOUS!!! First time here and definetly want to go back. I am not from India and not familiar with the food exactly, but it was very tasty. Only thing is that they said some of the dishes were spicy, which were not, specially when I expect that India food is more spicy than Mexican. More sauce than chicken though, in one of the dishes.

What the * happened with this place. Till just couple of years ago this place was good and now its soo bad that if allowed I would sue it legally for serving such horrible inedible Indian food. I suppose extreme greed took over, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Well now I know why Charminar is pricier but always busy Chicken tikka masala was not good. Saag paneer was not good. Aloo paratha was not good. Aloo gobi was not good. Naan was not great. Samosa was okay!

The food (Saag Paneer & Lentils) was not very good other than the Naan. This and the great/friendly service is why I the rating is three stars, otherwise it would be two stars. Maybe meat items are better…

The most flavourless chicken biryani ever. I am sure even for somebody who doesn’t know cooking will cook a better biryani than this. Literally gonna sleep empty stomach tonight cuz that was my dinner.

The quality of this place has really gone downhill. The chicken tikka masala and chicken makhani were both SUPER watered down. Hardly any flavor. The rice pudding was crunchy and watery as well.
