This is quite literally the best Indian food in Iowa. I can not say enough good things about this place. Their portions are great, their service and cooks are so kind and the food is to die for. I love it here.

Great food! Great atmosphere! Seems like they struggle to keep good employees, so lately the service has usually been about training employees (which is fine-they need to learn), but as with any new employee, it’s usually not great service from them as they just have a lot to remember and deal with. Just be patient with your server – as you should always anyways. Food is worth coming back for more!

This has the best chili garlic Naan!! Extra crispy love love it. The Apollo shrimp appetizer had amazing flavor. We ordered the Butter chicken and Lamb Rogan Josh. The Lamb was Exceptional. Service was just as good as the food. The basmati rice was less flavored than I am use to but the sauces from the entrees helped with that. The establishment and bathrooms were very clean. Will be recommending

Totally waste of money and food. This I asked for Goat Biryani and Chicken Tandoori. This was not Biryani at all. There were 2 leg thighs pieces for $16 (very expensive) and there was blood in it. I had to cooked properly in home. I ordered on call and they said it will be ready in 20 mins. when i reached there they said it will not take much time and i paid for it. I had to wait 30 mins after I paid in restaurant. They haven’t took my order that time on call and they started preparing when i paid for my meal. I had to throw 50% of food because it was not eatable. I attached the food pictures.

Always wanted to try this place. Ambience is good and has enough space for small group. I ordered take out which was fairly quick. Chicken biryani is just fine nothing exceptional. One thing though their Goat Chukka is pretty amazing. Juicy, well-cooked and had right blend of spices. Go for medium as it’s already spicy. It’s hard to find decent place which could deliver seasoned goat meat. But this is outlier!

This was our first time having Indian food, it was amazing. Perfect balance of flavors and wonderful spice! Great vegetarian and gluten free options. There is even a kids menu with plain chicken nuggets for my picky, unadventurous eater.
