We had the worst time visiting this place on our way to Tahoe from San Jose. Wish we had picked another place. We landed at 6:30 pm and it took them 30 min to bring tea (not recommended). 1 hr and numerous questions later they got our appetizers and 45 min later we got the main course to go! Wish we had checked the food there, coz they forgot to give us the rice, gave us burnt biryani (not even kidding, check pictures) and tasteless chicken and paneer gravies. It was terrible when we dined in there and worse when we had the to go order 2 hrs later in Tahoe. They didn’t have the courtesy to inform us that they were short staffed and should expect to wait longer. They shouldn’t have taken orders beyond a certain number. Wish we were refused entry and we had gone to a better place instead. Took our parents to the place, and were thoroughly disappointed.

We ordered the chicken Tikka and the veggie appetizer platter and the Butter Paneer. The Butter Paneer was really good but the quantity of the gravy was lacking, the paneer was sufficient.

Called for a pick up order, spoke with a girl who told us tandoori chicken (2 orders) and basmati rice (2 orders) doesn’t have onions, also ordered naan (2 orders). Got home, white and green onions in the chicken dishes and greens onions covered the top of the rice we couldn’t eat it, highly allergic. First and last time unfortunately.

Their food is incredibly delicious. The slower I eat, the more I am able to savor every flavor. The business is changing ownership soon, so get in there and enjoy a last meal at the best Indian food restaurant in the Sacramento area before it changes hands

Everything was delicious. We did order everything in mild but it was kinda on the spicier side. Would definitely go back for dinner.

I asked Google maps for restaurants near me, and this was close by. I haven’t had Indian food in a while, and it’s been a favorite of mine for decades.

The service here is excellent! Dinner takes a little while so order an appetizer if your hungry. We ordered a chicken saag dinner and Bindi Dinnder. The dinner comes with a choice Roti or naan, with a dessert, rice, lentils and yogurt. the lentils were thicker in texture. The yogurt had the numbing peppers and great flavor. I will come back when I am in town next.
