The food was decent, definitely a different set up than usual. The mango lassi, though, tasted like it had a dash of pineapple juice in it. A little bit acidic. The service was…..questionable but friendly. Overall, it wasn’t downright terrible but my first impressions of this place are not good.

The place was nice, only one person serving the food. It’s not authentic Indian food but definitely good for folks who like less spicy Indian. Tried fun biriyani and it was more or like the regular pulao with chicken. Breads are good. Naan and parathas are ok.

Good food. Appreciated the fact that no artificial food coloring was used to cook. Speaks well of the chef and his confidence in his cooking. Doesn’t need artistry to make it look good but focusses making it taste good. Well done!

Really delicious Indian food in a town with not a ton of great dining options. Overall one of the better restaurants in Novato, really enjoy having this spot nearby.

Has this place changed ownership? Our lunch was served on a metal tray like you see in prison movies and the food unlike prior experiences over the years was mediocre at best. The servings small and the dessert of rice pudding inedible.

I ordered vegetable biryani. Its like partially cooked and contained oil residue. I couldn’t eat much as the oil is in visible portion at the end of the box.

What I like about this place is the quality of the ingredients. The salad is super fresh. Even the fresh melon offered was sweet and just ripe. All the main dishes were excellent too. Curried cauliflower, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and today a spicy fish curry! They don’t use any frozen veggies in the curries, etc., either. It’s $12.97 including tax for all you can eat at lunch. Pleasant atmosphere. Good find!

Ordered the Chicken Dum Biryani to go (I work down the street) from the online menu said it was $10.50, I show up and they charge me 15.14. No plate, No fork, no napkin. Barley any chicken.. about 3 bite size pieces. I basically paid 15.14 for a bowl of rice.
