This place has amazing food, incredible service and is very clean and nicely decorated. The stuffed Naan bread is so delicious. We got the Naan Thali which comes with three different kinds of your choice. We really enjoyed theirs curries with a unique Pakistani flair brought to there flavors. There is a Pakistani flair to their food because the owners have Pakistani roots. We talked with the owners, and they are incredibly nice and very funny. It was an A+ experience for us. Please support this family’s business because they have great food and have pride in their restaurant.

I went here on a date with the Mrs. and we went just at the beginning of dinner. It wasn’t very busy but it was a beautiful dining set up and smelled amazing. My girl and I were seated promptly and served water. We had a chat with the owner and he was very charismatic! Not to mention the food was absolutely mind blowing! The tofu madras and chicken vindaloo was what we got and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We also got the mango lassi to drink and if you like yogurt drinks, IT WAS AMAZING! It was so good that we had to take a bottle home!! Anyways, 5 stars all around!! We will be back!

So glad we went there for a family dinner. Our son was super impressed too; he’s a major foodie! The food was perfectly spiced and delicious! The service and ambiance was a big thumbs up. And it was nice to had the chance to speak with the owner / chef. He’s friendly & funny. I would definitely recommend this place! We look forward to coming back again! 🙂

This was a surprisingly awesome place. The food portion size seemed to fit the price value. The owner was super friendly and welcoming. He offered some suggestions and provided a list of vegan and non vegan options. Definitely a must when you visit Boise ID.

After eating at many of Boise’s other Indian restaurants, we gave this one a try. Food was good, service OK, but after getting the bill we feel we were fleeced! Our fault for not looking at the prices of the individual dishes – but we assumed they were at least comparable. Turns out they are DOUBLE the prices of the 2 other main competitors, probably because of the location. And the food was certainly not twice as good…Needless to say that will be our last visit.

I have been here 10-15 times in the past year, my absolute favorite restaurant in Boise. I brought a friend here from out of town for a dining experience, and the Chef came out to speak with us and told her, “I don’t serve anyone anything I wouldn’t feed to my own children.” The care that goes into each meal, the commitment to quality, is unmatched. There are a few reviews about the wait time, but this is not fast food, so don’t expect it to be!! If they ever compromised on quality to meet people’s hustle-and-bustle expectations, I would be so sad (besides, the atmosphere is so relaxing, quiet, and ideal for a date). The level of quality and consistency they deliver takes time and I am blown away every single time. Mine and my husband’s favorite menu items are Butter Chicken, Korma Lamb, Mango Lassi, Garlic Naan with mint chutney, and the chai tea, which is a TRUE chai made in the restaurant. Don’t let the negative reviews scare you away, you are missing out on a great family run restaurant run by the kindest and hardest working people. You all deserve 10 stars.

I opened my chicken tiki masala and took a bite only to pull out this hairball from my mouth. Then I looked and found a few more hairs that are definitely not mine.

We really had a great experience tonight. Ordered butter chicken and chicken tiki masala. We also had wine and Naan bread of course. Everything was delicious. Very flavorful. Ordered medium heat and it was plenty spicy. Loved it. Naan was some of the best. I recommend the garlic. The wine pours were very generous and the service was excellent. They were obviously hustling to keep up but the communication was good and they were very friendly. Our server and the second server both made sure we had everything and were happy throughout the meal. Well decorated and nice place. Really enjoyed it.

If you’re anywhere near a hurry, do not enter. I had a show but was in the restaurant 1h 20 minutes beforehand, which I thought ample. I started sweating a little when it took almost 20 minutes before I got a beer delivered then spent almost an hour waiting for the food, which never arrived, instead was told it would take longer. I had to leave and offered to pay for the beer, which they were nice enough to comp. Strange since there weren’t that many diners. I wish I’d had the opportunity to sample the fare, but slow service kills it for me.
