My friends come here all the time! They always service everyone well, drinks never going empty. Their fragrant garlic naan, sweet rose lassi, and lamb coconut really hit the spot. Honey sesame naan and rose lassi both unique and delicious. We also had chicken tikka masala and paneer masala just as yummy.

The menu has a wide variety of options and the service is quick. It was also pretty empty inside the restaurant when we went. The Samosa were nice and crispy and Naan was soft, pillowy, and had a nice flavor. The Malai Kofta was good as well, but both that and the Aloo Gobi especially were lacking in spice and flavor. That being said, it was still an enjoyable dining experience.

Excellent lunch here. No buffet, but good place to share a meal with friends. Enjoyed the lunch special vegetable thali which includes main dish, rice, naan, salad and chana masala on the side. Sabi sag malai was a creamy spinach saag full of cauliflower, potato and eggplant. Ragara patties was potato patties in a chickpea tamarind chaat. Lots of interesting uncommon Indian dishes on the menu. Especially expansive vegetarian and vegan options. The menu was huge…see photos! Naan was fluffy and delicious

Loved the food! The service is great! And it’s located on a nice little strip with other places to visit.

Wonderful dining experience here in this college town Indian restaurant with a solid menu, friendly and lively atmosphere, and delicious food. We ordered a dal (lentil) and a cauliflower potato dish called aloo ghobi. The dishes had a clean fresh taste and texture, not heavy creamy like sometimes at other places. Garlic naan was soft, warm, fresh — exactly how I want it. The whole meal was scrumptious. We ordered mild and maybe a little spicy would be good next time. Would return for sure!

Male server July 11th was very pleasant. Visited from vermont with my son. Good food. I usually don’t go for this kind of food. But i can say it was very very good. Alot of choices for the unadventurous . $20-30 per person for cocktail, appetizer and entree

Extremely authentic and tasty! In the very nice little town of Williamstown Massachusetts. Unassuming but definitely worth it! The service could have been a little bit better but covid has probably taken away some of their employees. Well worth it and the chai was as if I had my own chaiwalla fixing it in front of me! This is delicious!

Lovely restaurant. I enjoyed the food. The paneer masala had a nice flavor, tangy tomato and slightly sweet. The onion chutney was very good, not too hot (spicy) as some places make it. I would come back again.

Great Indian food. The person who said that it was overpriced and not authentic either don’t know what they are talking about or has unreasonable expectations. Tikka? Curry isn’t Indian? Of course it’s Indian American, but if your idea of Indian food isn’t this, then go to India for crying out loud. Always one in every group of reviewers. Dissenting makes them feel self important. All you need to do is look at the other reviews.

I ordered the medly which had shrimp in it. They did not take the time to de-tail the shrimp and I cut the inside of my cheek. The waiter apologized but still charged me over $21.00. I will never eat there again. Disgusted!
