Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ordered a la carte during lunch, a chicken vindaloo, chicken Tikka Masalla, garlic Naan, sweet, salty and mango Lassi, all delicious. I enjoyed the salty Lassi so much and let the staff know, they sent me home with an extra one at no charge, very kind!

Had my baby shower at their hall and it was great! Food was good, hall is nice, and Megha and the owner are great to work with! We drove up all the way from Virginia because our families live nearby Wanye and Megha ensured everything went smoothly! They also offer halal options, which is great! We had a mix of Desi and American folks and Joyti gave us the option to add on a pasta dish, which was perfect. Definitely would recommend this place for events/parties.

Cannot comment on the lunch buffet since I’ve never had it, but dinner has always been very good. Family run establishment where they make the food fresh and to order. Extensive menu with lots of options, including lots of vegetarian options, as well as chicken, lamb, seafood and goat. I’ve always been a fan of Indian food and this is one of the better places in the area to get it. Attentive service, nice ambiance and a liquor license adds to it.

I was clapping between bites tbh it was that good. I got vegetable samosas and Aloo Gobi Mattar as an entree. They were very accommodating for vegans. Things are marked on the menu for vegan options. The servers were incredibly friendly and nice. The samosas were life changing. I’ll be back when I’m in the area again
