We ordered the Fish Masala and Mango Chicken, which were quite good! They are gentle on the spicy level, we ordered hot but it was not very spicy. This can be a good or bad thing. The garlic Naan was fantastic as well. However the onion kulcha had quite dense bread and the onion is diced and not very prominent. I would stick with the garlic naan.

I have been in this place since its beginnings. We went often for buffet lunch and the food was good. Now there is no buffet since the Pandemic, understandable. I was there, about 08/04/2023, with a party of four, the food was horrible. We ordered Chicken Biryani, a mush of rice, undefined vegetables and bits of little pieces of chicken. In general, this was not the Biryani I have had at Indian restaurants.

The food at this place is amazing! We got the vegetarian appetizer platter and the chicken 65. It was all perfectly cooked and the flavors are exceptional! We got the dinner for two combination platter with buttered chicken curry, buttered lamb curry, and chicken curry. It came with nan bread and rice and a dessert. For dessert we got the fried sweet cottage cheese balls. It was worth every penny. I totally recommend trying this place. The service was fantastic and the food extraordinary!

I ordered butter chicken, assorted plate of fish, chicken, lamb, and veggie curry. Food was disappointing. The assorted plate was $12 and has so little food, like 3 pieces small pieces of each and tasted absolutely mid. Butter chicken and curry was ok but for the price it was not worth it for me.

We ordered food for delivery when we moved my daughter to town. The delivery took longer than expected, but the food was great and they included some ice cream as a thank you for our patience. Really enjoyed the food after a long day of driving. Thank you!

Bit wary of this place as very good and some very bad reviews but decided we would try the rude service . No one was rude , all very welcoming. Water brought out in a jug immediately with menus . Food was delicious butter chicken , tikka masala , chicken vindaloo. Naan extra but basmati rice part of the dishes as were the poppadoms . The only thing too thin was the raita we ordered as a side dish. Otherwise excellent food and lovely outdoor place to eat if you want
