I am unsure how this place is even open. When you walk in, it looks as if it has been out of business for a month. Artwork on the floor, junk everywhere, trashy furniture collecting dust. I was only getting sides because I had leftovers of my entree from another Indian restaurant located out of town… I did not think it was possible for a restaurant to make such a horrible impression on so little. I waited for 45 minutes for sides, which is ridiculous. The rice was more like sticky rice from Chinese cuisine, and the cheese naan was greasy and weirdly moist? Would never order anything from here ever again.

Well the food is just okay. Went with some expectations but was disappointed with the kind of cuisines served and how they tasted. Paneer was more rubbery, hard to eat and probably not fresh. Both the paneer tikkas and kadhai paneer were not good enough. They can probably do much better about what the dishes should be like and what they taste!

Love that this local favorite has moved to Parkade Plaza. Easier parking and access for those not going downtown. Recently I had the Vegetarian Plate and it was awesome! There are always left overs and the naan is baked to perfection. The meal for two I had three weeks earlier was also a great meal that I was still eating four days later and it the spices got even better! I ate inside, but saw many people doing pick up for meals and catering!

Food is great! Delicious! But for some reason they don’t serve rice with their entrees. I guess it’s separate? Ordered from here twice and haven’t gotten rice with either order.

This is the worst Indian food I’ve ever had. Rice was kinda hard, naan was gross looking and my main dish was subpar. For what I paid for this meal… totally not worth it!!!

Very expensive for the food they serve. The restaurant is pretty dirty, cannot imagine what the kitchen is like. Food is tolerable (4/10)

I was already seated, looking at the menu (online), when I decided to read the reviews. I was tempted to go to a different place but I figured it won’t hurt me to try. after all, its only once in a blue moon I go to Columbia.

I have never seen a dirtier restaurant, and I’ve seen a lot of things. Additionally, the quality of the food fallen a long way since opening their original next to Tony’s. Not worth the health hazard, price, or long wait. It’s actually puzzling as to what they’re even doing. Why bother running this operation?

Lydia Ghaster
I’ve ordered from them numerous times over the past couple years and things have always been a little inconsistent with the food quality and taste , however tonight’s meal was by far the worst. The Lamb Tikka Masala was very greasy, overcooked and the seasoning was just different in general. The naan bread was also over cooked and covered in cheap shredded cheese? It’s never been like that in the past. Disappointing overall. Really wish a Columbia had a consistently good Indian option.

Chicken Curry and Lamb Seekh Kabab entree’s were very good. Naan bread was ok.
