One of most satisfying and most engaging meal we have ever had. The very very nice hosts made the otherwise perfect meal a memorable one.

My favorite Indian spot in the 518. The owner is one of the nicest business owners I’ve ever met. The food is authentic and has consistently been incredible every time for the past decade I’ve been going. It’s also nice that they are, as far as I know, the only Indian restaurant offering vegan-friendly naan as long as you order it unbuttered. I was sad when they were forced to leave their Clinton Ave location, but their new spot in the old church is spacious and cozy, albeit hidden from the outside.

The appetizers were “ok”, although a bit pricy. The main course was nothing special (took shrimp biriani & aloo chana) , and didn’t feel the authentic Indian taste at all! The “aloo chana” had maybe 3-4 pieces of potatoes. Staff is good , the place is overall clean.

There is a lot of room for improvement. The room was cold, so it is wise to bring your jackets, service started by giving my partner and I one glass and pitcher of water and nothing else. The second glass came when the meal arrived. The food was decent, but over priced. We went up to the servers to get our check which took sometime to get. Perhaps this is a good pickup spot, but I would not recommend for a pleasant dining experience, I don’t believe you get the value that you pay for.

The host was the best part of this restaurant. He was extremely nice and I felt like having food at a relatives place.

While the location and presentation was decent however the food quality leaves a lot to desire. The authenticity is questionable.

NEGATIVES: Surprisingly TERRIBLE. All four dishes (Lamb Kadai, Aloo Gobi, Baingan Bartha, Shrimp Vindaloo) were room temperature and practically tasteless. Not sure anyone went to the trouble of chopping up the cauliflower or potatoes as the pieces were massive which would’ve been so wonderful if they’d had much taste. Vegetable Samosa was passable, too bad it was lukewarm. Naan and Garlic Naan were each 6 inches wide at most, rubbery, and seemed closely related to Pillsbury dough pastry, dull and boring. The worst Indian food I’ve had the misfortune to order.

I went here when we were on our way to Niagara falls. I didn’t expect much but to my surprise food was really amazing. I would say one should try all the vegeterian menu in here and we loved everything we ordered.
