Aaron
Really enjoyed our meal here! The mango lassi was delightful and refreshing. We got Aloo Chaat as an appetizer. Really enjoyed the textures and flavors. The paneer naan was warm, fresh, and delicious. I got the rogan Josh extra spicy. It brought the heat! Lamb was super tender. It went over well with the basmati rice. My wife got paneer masala extra spicy as well. She really enjoyed it. The prices are very affordable for the quality you receive. Service was great, and there was a nice ambiance. If ever back in the Culpeper area, I would not hesitate to return for a great meal!

This was the most bland meal I have ever had in my entire life. I’m not talking about the most bland Indian meal, I’m talking about the least flavorful meal of my lifetime. I’m not sure what happened back in that kitchen but everything tasted like maybe they salted it…

Very reasonable prices and the food was not only good but generous. I got more pieces of tandoori chicken than I should have eaten. It was a very satisfying meal. I would come here again. Good service, too. High ceilings, lots of space. If you’re worried about Covid you can sit a mile away from other patrons.

I cannot overstate how wonderful our experience was. You seat yourself when you walk in. We were quickly greeted. The masala tea and Indian chai tea were delicious. Vegetable samosas were hot (temperature not spice) and the spice was a perfect pairing.
