Excellent flavors, customizable spice levels. (I enjoy spicy, keep in mind their level 3 is pretty hot.)

Food was good. Even on the medium spice level it was a little too much but I still enjoyed the authentic nature of the dishes.

Best Indian food I’ve had in Philly! Delivery was fast and food was great. They ask you to choose a spice level for each dish and they pay close attention to your selection, so choose wisely! We ordered chicken tikka masala as “mild plus” and butter chicken as “spicy”, and there was as a world of difference between the two! (Both amazing.) They also have chana saag on the menu, which I appreciate as it isn’t available everywhere.

We took out. I don’t claim to be an expert on Indian food, but we were underwhelmed.

Absolutely delicious Indian food. Very friendly and respectful staff. Would highly recommend and will try to stop again next time I’m in Philly. Very large portions too! Chicken Biryani and Mango Lassi were fantastic

Not good at all. Ordered on Uber Eats. The food was so spicy, we couldn’t even eat it — and we like spicy. It tasted like a bad mistake. We ate two bites of two entrees and threw it all away and ordered a pizza. The samosas were fine.

Do not dine in during summer. It was extremely hot and there was no air circulation within the restaurant at all. The service was not the best either as the server was extremely rude. 4.7 starts for this place?! The owner should have better air conditioning installed in the place at least.

Overall I’m not very impressed with the Indian food options in Philly so we were excited to find a place with such high ratings, only to be disappointed yet again. Other than the garlic naan, everything just felt cheap and tasted kinda off.
