Tried Dam Biriyani and found moderate taste with real spicy. Kids failed to take any. Checkout people need more expertise. Online shows 25 percent discount and they denied. I did not argue but it is deceptive. Good interior. Need halal certification. More Muslim will go there if they ensure strict halal.

A decent Indian restaurant in Peoria. We got the order to go and it was ready in half an hour. The interior decor was pleasant and modern. The food as well. The Natu kodi was good and Gobi Manchurian was also good. The mango lassi and paratha were not upto the mark. The chicken curry was very good.

My husband and I have been here twice in just the month of April 2023 alone. I ordered the lamb korma and the Samosa. Everything tasted great. Cons The person at the front desk was rude to us both times, Raising his voice at my husband stating that he must pay cash. Even though it states credit cards accepted.Then proceeded to the back and was talking to another person and said what what sounded like the n-word. (not 100% certain). You will notice how he (the one taking the orders) treats his own people as appose to others ,Hopefully writing this experience will change this workers attitude towards certain customers. The food is 5 stars the person taking the orders.

Nice interior. Butter Chicken and Naan were great. Chicken Dum Biriyani was mediocre. They have a pretty good selection of food listed on the menu (including some Indo Chinese items). We wanted to try the Goat Biriyani but they were out of goat. Service was alright.

When I first parked outside, I had very little expectations of the place. I mean for heavens sake, there wasn’t even a proper sign for the restaurant other than a cloth banner hung outside.

Some of the best food in the Peoria area! Atmosphere was intimate and modern. The portion sizes were bigger than expected and everything had such amazing flavors.

At last, a perfect Indian restaurant for Peoria. Food Quality, Taste, Ambience, Presentation etc everything is great. Quantity of Biriyani could be better.

Very good food. Watch out for the bullet naan as it’s very misleading with the one pepper next it. It should be three. It’s much hotter than the kordai chicken spicy even. Still good though. Would definitely stop back at some time. Issue is that they said the tandoori roti was vegan but brought it out with butter and we also think the other dishes have some milk in them. I wouldn’t eat here if you have have food allergies because they don’t know what’s in what it seems.
