My boyfriend and I ate here late on a Friday night. While all the food was good, the Gobi Manchurian stole the show! This is by far the BEST fried cauliflower I have ever tasted! The sauce, the texture, everything! If for no other reason, you have to try this place for the cauliflower. For more food reviews , follow @theboogiefoodie

We celebrated my husband’s birthday and the food, service and atmosphere were wonderful! We had reservations for 17 people and the restaurant set up a semi private space for us. On top of that, all the food we had was incredible! Our family was impressed with the whole experience 🙂 I highly recommend this restaurant!!

I catered food from Namaste for a work event. Bashir was so helpful and communicative, and the food was amazing! Chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, vegetable curry, basmati rice, and naan were all amazing and would highly recommend! Looking forward to dining in the restaurant soon!

We have been going to this restaurant for many years. Always had good experience with excellent food. It’s our favorite Indian restaurant to go. Last week as usual went with my husband. The food portions were significantly smaller but they also raised the prices. We had chicken tikka masala with 3-4 pieces of chicken, palak paneer with very little cheese. We don’t mind the raised prices however the quality and quantity of the food is not what it used to be.

Very surprised that their ratings are not higher . I ordered online and it’s was so easy and friendly to navigate their vegan options as well as specify my gluten and soy allergies . I ordered 4 dishes and all were unique and tasted amazing. My favorite was the vegan channa masala (can’t wait to have it again), followed by the vegan daal saag and the vegan aloo gobi.

I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala (takeout), it was honestly the smallest amount of chicken I’ve ever seen in a dish, like 3 normal sized bites. If you are trying to cut costs you don’t take all the chicken out of the Chicken Tikka. Because then you just have a $17 bowl of cream, and your customers don’t return. You raise the price $2 and continue to serve a good entree of chicken.

I will start with the fact that they are taking covid precautions quite seriously. As soon as we sat down, someone came to disinfect the table. Decor is beautiful, service was really good. The food was delicious..we tried Saag Paneer and Paneer Makhani..garlic naan was fresh and yummy! We had a rasmalai for dessert and it was great!! I honestly wouldn’t mind coming here just for chai and samosas..Businesses are hurting and it was good to support a local restaurant. I hope they start some sort of lunch special (without sacrificing the quality of the food) and it can boost up the business. They do not have outdoor seating, but tables were quite spreadout indoors. I learned that they are under new management which would explain nice decor and newly renovated place. All in all, I would recommend this place!
