Very clean. Love the grayish brown floor and upbeat top 40 music. Modern and cultural Indian aesthetic that doesn’t try too hard. The food is good and flavorful. The mango lassi is just the right sweetness I needed.

Nice place for Indian food. Ambience was fine. The service was good. The food came out quickly and was very good. Overall not a ton of complaints. Seemed a little expensive (16-18$ per entree). But the food was good and the portions were large. Definitely was able to take home a good bit for lunch the next day. Overall good experience.

Delicious, they ask if you like it mild, medium or hot. Breads are super fresh! Very, very good. Skip the lentil soup.

I saw this whilst bowling and put it on my list to try. I was here around Noonish and purchased the $14.99 buffet. The fresh naan was nice and all the items I tried from the buffet were delicious and authentically presented.

We’re from out of town and decided to stop in for dinner because there were options for my partner who is fasting. We were not disappointed. The food was incredible, everything was so full of flavor. Even my leftovers were fantastic the next day. 100% will be back next time we’re in town.

Came here for $13.99 lunch buffet and was not disappointed. We were the only ones there when we arrived around noon but 4 more tables were filled while we were dining. Hands down the best paneer saag in Columbus area, texturally spot on and had great cheese flavor. Fresh naan brought to the table after 5-10 min included with lunch buffet that was very very light, great for soaking up the sauces. They had chicken Tikka masala, chicken curry, chicken biryani, tandoori chicken a several other vegetarian dishes. Everything else besides the naan and saag were ok, not bad not great. Most of the chicken was a little dry. Wish there was a lamb dish in the mix, but was still happy with the variety. Our server was a little odd and slow for us being the only table… We had to ask for water after 10min and then 10 min after that asked if we wanted anything besides water to drink, but it was slow so it didn’t impact our experience too much. May be different with a dinner rush but nonetheless, I would come back for the lunch buffet value.

I visited this recently opened Indian restaurant and tried their lunch buffet. The food was tasty and spread was good. It’s an awesome deal considering the price of just $12.95 per head. I particularly liked the saag paneer and lamb curry, wasn’t too spicy or oily like I’ve seen at some other places. I would recommend this spot and encourage you to check out this family run Indian restaurant. Also, their gulab jamun dessert was delicious!
