5 Stars All-around the board from the food to the service to the vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant. Our waiter Sid was very helpful in the descriptions of each plate and recommended the Lamb Bhuna for me which was filling and had an amazing taste. My wife had the Daba Chicken Curry and she enjoyed it as well !

Great food and great service. This was my first time at an Indian restaurant and I treated myself on Valentine’s Day. The food was delicious and they were so sweet to explain all the different flavors. They answered every question I had about the menu.

We went for lunch. The restaurant was less full than expected. It was more cafeteria-like in atmosphere than expected as well. It took longer than expected for our food to arrive, but it was well presented and tasted fantastic. Sorry, no pics. We both had chicken dishes and were surprised and delighted at the amount of chicken in each. The menu is set out logically and include s notes for both potential allergens and for vegan/vegetarian options. We will return.

I barely write reviews but I had to for this restaurant. I was looking for something to eat and stopped into this gem. I was looking for something light that didn’t require too much chewing. Sid, an amazing employee helped me choose. I ordered the mild butter chicken and mango lassi. It was soooooo good! I would make it my business to visit here again.

Intimate, warmly lit, atmosphere. Vibrant tasty curries. Kadahi and Vindaloo are my go-to choices! The menu offers accommodations for a variety of allergies, including gluten, soy, dairy, and peanut free.

I wanted to try this restaurant because of the good reviews about the food however when I saw that the owner allowed a CAT into the restaurant I was turned off. The PRIVILEGE that is extended to a certain group in America is astonishing. If a pet lover loves their animal so much then offer them the option of TOGO not allowing them to bring an animal into your nice establishment. I am allergic to cats and the thought of another privileged individual being allowed to bring in a cat while I was dining in is the only thought that took over my mind. To the owner of this restaurant is this restaurant for people or animals? Can’t be both because humans have allergies and cats are a no-no. Please do better!
