Went there for dinner. Got the chicken coconut, butter chickens, and chicken vindaloo with garlic naans. Food had great flavor. Order mine with level 5 spicy, and you can really taste the spiciness. All servers were nice and great.

We went there for a lunch. Placed in a nice neighborhood. Ample parking space in the complex. Very nice ambience in the restaurant. Very clean restrooms and clean place. Loved the service by Casey. She was so warm, smiling and welcoming. We ordered chilly chicken, veg pakora, goat korma, shrimp coconut curry, garlic naan and mango lassi. Veg pakora – It was not fresh made, felt like it was reheated but it was decent tasting. Chilly chicken – It was okay, did not taste good. Tasted bit like pakora. Goat korma – The curry tasted good but the meat was little tough and tasted more like lamb. We asked to re confirm if it is goat and they said it is goat which did not taste so. Shrimp coconut curry was amazing, both the curry and shrimp were awesome. Mango lassi was good as usual. Food taste can be improved overall. Ambience and service was amazing. But not much Indian restaurants in this city and this is decent and will not disappoint you.

It was our first time going there today. My wife and I have been wanting to try Indian food for a while, and tbh it didn’t disappoint. The food was very good for our taste, and the service was ok, could’ve been better. But other than that it was a great experience. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Man oh man oh man! This is some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! While the restaurant is intimate, the table sizes are generous, the wait staff pleasant and attentive, the star is the food! We had 4 in our party and we all got something different and shared tastes. Wow! Each dish was special and tasty! Loads of flavor and as little or as much heat as you want! Gotta find a way to visit Hickory again to eat here!!!

A great experience and a most needed option in Hickory. The food was delicious and came out hot, not microwave hot either… fresh hot.

Great service and amazing, delicious food. The only downside is the menu is not kid friendly to children who aren’t accustomed to the many spices! This restaurant definitely changed my husband’s opinion about Indian food (he’d only previously experience buffet style Indian cuisine).
