Excellent food, we had a big group and they got all the food right. Everyone took home leftovers too. I had the Lamb curry which was clearly reheated from something they bought from a food service, but it was delicious (very spicy).

By far my favorite place to get a taste of India. Fair pricing for all you get. The chef there absolutely PERFECTED the masala dosa (pictured) and mutton biryani. The dosa was very large and the biryani had loads of mutton, all of which made this meal magnificent!! Go try it out for yourself!

For 3 persons we spend $60+. 1-Mango Lassi/1-Chikku Shake/1-Sugar Cane Juice/1-Guntur karam Dosa/1-Malai Kofta/Mixed Veg Curry/3-Nans. NONE OF THE ITEMS ARE FRESH AND THE TASTE IS WORST. Coconut chutney is smelling like old/Dosa doesn’t taste good. both curries taste so bad/ Lassi is also smells like old taste. Overall I will never ever visit again if you want to stay healthy. Look at the left over Food picture attached.

Hands down the best Indian food in DSM area. Not a big fan of any Indo-Chinese food – but they have a decent selection for that as well. They have a lot of variety and adjust the spice level every order based on customer’s preference. I recommend chicken biriyani, Apollo fish, and ras malai for desert! Really good portion size!

What began as a very good and friendly Indian takeaway is now a mediocre restaurant with take or leave it attitude of the front end staff. The last time I bought a takeaway curry and found that it was 3/4 of what it used to be and less denser curry. I really wish old place and the former staff was back!
