One of the best places for Indian food. The biryani was as good as what we get in Hyderabad. The naans are nice and thin, like it’s supposed to be. Unlike some other restaurants that serve Chicago style deep dish naans.

This was our 1st visit and it was spectacular! My Husband absolutely LOVED the food. I myself enjoyed all of our dishes considering I was hesitant to try. I must say we will both return for such flavorable food and great service. My Husband truly enjoyed his Father’s Day meal!

Express India!! My wife and I usually go and try newly open restaurants once a week!! Today, we found this place. Recently open with decent environment to be in while you are having dinner!! One of the things I loved about this restaurant is the food is not overwhelming with masala as you would expect from other Indian restaurants!! Another, this place do not offer Naan! This part I loved it. They offered something called FULKA which is lighter and healthier version of Indian bread. I would encourage people to try this. Overall speaking I would rate this place based on their simplicity, tastefulness.

Overall we had a good experience, the interior design was pretty neat. We had mutton biriyani, mango lassie, chai tea and somosa. Everything tasted good, it’s just that the meat on the mutton biriyani wasn’t as soft as we expected. But it was tasty.
