This used to be one of my favorite spot until today. I ordered $50.00 worth of food. In which one of the items, Garhwali Naan had no cheese or spinach inside as described. I called the restaurant and the man argued me down saying that it had cheese in it. So he said to text him the pictures, in which I did and still told me it had cheese. I called the restaurant back and wouldn’t answer the phone. It’s OK though because I WILL NEVER BUY from this restaurant again. And the food was tasteless. Does thus look like cheese to you?

Order a $48.58 meal to go paid for it. I get home they forgot my Cucumber Raita side. $4. They rubbed me for my money. I will never go there again. This place is always empty the lady that works there was a Nasty Disposition that’s why nobody goes there high prices also an they have a nerve to charge you before you get your meal An forget a $4. Item to me that’s stealing.

Ok. I ate here recently. The food has no flavor to me. The lamb biryani was wet and I asked for medium spice and it was just horrible. Left most of it. I highly suggest to not come here. The Indian food here is not satisfying. Also, the customer service is not that great.

Store was clean and customer service was great but do not waste your money. The rice was not good, the naan was stiff and burnt. You have been warned.

Pathetic service. Food uncooked and they won’t accept it. In menu they will show different prices but actual price they charge is different.
