I really wanted to like this place. I believe it was a viable option at one point. But their flavors simply didn’t have it. They seem to have given up on dining in option at this point but given the abundance of similar food options few miles east, it was difficult to justify going there any more. It would be nice to see them turn it around if they are willing.

First time eating from here. We ordered takeout. We ordered chicken tikka masala, chicken makhani, keema samosa, garlic naan and lamb biryani. Nothing stood out. The adults in our group didn’t like anything. The kids liked it, for what it’s worth. Biryani was mushy. The naan had too much garlic and has a mushy texture. The samosa was flavorless. The food was average at best.

Food was outstanding. Don’t understand the negative reviews, only had vegetarian dishes but they were all stellar. Bhindi Masala was a highlight. Highly recommend over most places near Devon and Western.

I ordered food from this please for lunch at my office, and later tried it because it was the closest Nepalese or Indian option in my home neighborhood, not realizing at first that it was the same place. I had tasty food a couple times, so I kept trying. But eventually it was horrible several times in a row and obviously not worth it. I think maybe Sundays or Tuesdays are worse, not sure.

Cannot speak more highly of this place. The food was outstanding and the service was warm and timely. We had 3 entrees and 2 appetizers, all 5 were sensational. GO.

I order from this place regularly. Chicken Tikka masala and butter chicken is great. The naan is always good. The grilled lamb chops are probably my favorite thing on the menu. Lamb samosas are also great.

The people here are so nice, and We used to love this place for their veggie samosas, and I had eaten their other food last year, but we went back recently after laying low on the restaurants, only to find that the food here is now dry and flavorless. This time, our meal just…hit differently than it used to. Did the chef change? My Tandoori chicken I got in my takeout order was flavorless and mostly dry. Also, the big chunk of onion that was nestled into the box with the chicken wasn’t grilled, cooked or anything…it looked like someone had just taken an onion straight from the produce section, chopped it in half, and popped it into the microwave for a min. No seasonings on the onion or anything. Just doesn’t make much sense to even include it with the chicken. $13 for dry chicken and what tastes like microwaved onion is a bit much, in my opinion.

Natalie Rodriguez
Wanted so badly to love this place but…. they charged me 4$ for Naan when the menu said 1.99. We asked for no spice in one dish and extra spice in another they tasted exactly the same also so did all the dishes. I love Indian food and know what it should taste like. This place is great for people that can’t handle flavor or spice people who don’t actually like Indian food.
