Food was good. Would have given a 5 star……We went for a birthday lunch at 1:00pm on a weekday. The restaurant was empty but the server denied our requested table. Felt a little bit rushed as the check was presented before we finished our entree. One guest was turned down at 1:49pm. Will visit again to see if the service has improved.

Friendly owner and staff. Some of the best Indian food I have tried in the area. Spice levels are somewhat inconsistent and the menu is somewhat limited in choices of protein for each dish. Overall positive experience and would plan to return.

Myself and my family had been to Chennai chimney . We all loved appetizers, tamater soup , Chole bhature. Briysani was not good (it was not like biryani taste , chicken was not cooked fully)

The food was surprisingly filling for such small portions and, for the taste you’re getting, the price is not bad either (typically somewhere under $20 for an entree and rice). Service was alright and the ambience of the place make it perfect for a date night.

Intimate but swanky Indian restaurant in the heart of Princeton. Great decor and friendly service. Before our food, these crunchy finger foods were brought out with what seemed like diced tomatoes. Fascinating.

The food was phenomenal from the salad to the rice, naan, vegetables, sauces, and spices. The only food I didn’t love was the sweet carrot dessert but it was still interesting to try. The service was slow and not particularly helpful, especially for how empty the restaurant was at lunch time. The atmosphere was okay but ruined by the sound of power drills from the temporary construction going on now.

This place is not recommended. Proportions are tiny compared to how much they charge. See the pic attached with a 1/2 tbsp for scale. This dish cost $18.95! And it did not taste good!
