Alex Blossom
This is the most authentic indian food i’ve ever had outside of India. I would definitely recommend this place. The chicken tikka masala and naan are so authentic and tasty perfect combination of flavors 10/10. The samosas and aloo tikki were so good as well. I will definitely return here and order again.

I am Indian, this is NOT indian food. Aloo Tikki too oily and no flavor. Naan is too thick and is doughy. Chxn tikka masala sauce was too tomato-y, and chicken was rubbery. No flavor or creaminess normal to the sauce. Please don’t go. I also agree with the person who said it was too salty, about the only spice used in the meal.

Ordered a Fish Biryani. It’s not Biryani it’s kind of fried rice, No taste. It’s only looks colorful and the price online menu is $13.99 and they charged me $17.99 plus tax. It’s not worth buying this kind of food.

If you enjoy little to no flavor food… this is the perfect place for you. I ordered the half chicken tandoori meal, and it was like eating 30 biscuits with no beverage. Dryer than sandpaper. To everyone saying this place is 10/10… I pray one day you experience food with REAL seasoning at some point in your lives…This food is terrible. This 1 star is for your exceptional ability to fool the public and stay in business for this long. Please warn people, that a beverage… and a prayer is needed before consumption.
