From someone who never writes reviews: We love this place and are lucky to have it close by! Delicious food, we have never been disappointed and start to eat the hot fresh naan in the car (unless its too fresh and hot ) Family run, very friendly. Highly recommend!

This is the 3rd Indian restaurant I’ve tried in the area and by far the best I’ve tasted, and they’re fairly priced! I had the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and tamarind chutney – all full of flavor. I would 100% recommend this place for takeout and plan to go here on a regular basis from now on for my Indian food fix. Definitely a mom and pop type of restaurant, so I knew the food was going to be amazing. Glad I gave them a try!
