Honestly best biryani I’ve had in the City. I come here often with my husband, and along with the mango Lassi’s we recommend their lamb biryani. Keep in mind this is pakistani style biryani which is spicy unlike the Indian counterpart. So please ignore the other review about the biryani as I’m pretty sure they were expecting Indian style biryani.

Great food! We enjoyed our time. The place would gain on more decoration and welcoming atmosphere. The food is excellent but towards the expensive side for Indian food.

I spent almost 90$ and we are still hungry. Good taste of food, but The orders are small and the chicken was hard. If you’re going to charge so much money for food, at least make sure you feed people so they are satisfied. The mango lassi came in a small dixie styrofoam cup.

I used to love this place because they used to cook the chicken so well. The quality has deteriorated. Now they just add diced chicken in a mass produced gravy! It felt chunky and hard.

Some of the best Indian food we’ve had. Each curry the group got was delicious, from the chicken to lamb to chickpea dishes. Mango Lassi was fantastic with a rich creamy fruit flavor.

In all honesty this is not where you get quality or quantity. The biryani is not ‘Dum Biryani’. I would recommend just learn a bit about biryani before you order.

Delicious Nepalese and Indian cuisine that’s well deserving of its Michelin rating. Our favorite was the creamy coconut chicken madras and the spicy tomato-based pokhareli kukhura.

Delicious and fresh. Flavors burst in your mouth. Balanced and beautifully spiced. Can’t wait to try more dishes. We tried somosas, chicken momo, veggie byriani, chicken tikka masala, Chana masala, peas pulao. Outstanding.
