One of the best if not THE best Indian restaurants I’ve ever visited. Loved the ambiance, the lighting was appealing, music was pleasant, food was amazing, reasonably priced and service was excellent. Being of Indian descent, I often times find myself feeling unwell after dining at an Indian restaurant because the food is not very authentic, but this is the first place where I ate more than I even should have and left feeling great. Highly recommend for first timers, or anyone that loves Indian food. My family and I tried several different dishes and they were all perfect. 5/5 stars – highly recommend. We had some left overs we planned to save for tomorrow and couldn’t help but finish them already – that should tell you all you need to know 🙂

We’ve been dining here the past couple of years periodically. The food is authentic and really delicious. I haven’t had a thing I have not liked. The service is fantastic and the atmosphere makes you feel like your dining in India. It’s very dark inside which adds to it. The best Indian food around the area, just stop in already,

One of the dirtiest kitchens I’ve ever seen with truly disturbing sanitation practices. I’ll be blunt: I am writing this out of a public safety concern for anyone considering dining here. Just like nutrition information should be clearly labeled for consumers, people have a right to know where the food they eat is being stored and prepared prior to serving.

Service was okay but food was horrible. The naan was very thick and raw. The butter chicken had no flavor. Very overcharged as well for the quality. UPDATE: The food made my whole family sick.

1. Baingan Bhartha – didn’t taste anything like it should. No smokiness, nothing. Sweet tomato puree base is not something that you use for this. Please STOP DOING THIS!!!

We ordered for pick up and it took 25 mins for it to be done. We ordered – medium butter chicken and a mild chicken tikka masala for my fiancé and I. It totaled up to be around $50 which isn’t bad since you def get your moneys worth from the portions. Each order also came with 2 pieces of naan, which was tasty with our food. The flavor was amazing and the medium spice had a nice kick to it. Will absolutely re-order from this place again.
