We ended up here on a random whim for dinner. We used to come for the lunch buffet but I think that went away after covid. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we first got there, with their TVs blaring their Indian music shows. We ordered the chicken Tikka Masada, the chicken korma, the tandoori garlic shrimp, alongside the cheese filled naan. Everything was delicious and came out quickly. The one thing though is that they never asked us if we wanted to get any beverages and seemed bothered when we asked for to go containers for our leftovers as well as asking for another order of Naan to go as well (it never came). The leftover veggies from the garlic shrimp made delicious egg/breakfast tacos by the way!

I recently had fish pakora, Aloo Gobi, lentil soup, and Mango Lassi. While the rice was nicely cooked and fluffy, I found the other dishes to be somewhat underwhelming.

Newly renovated/decorated. Service and ambiance was previously at par, but now owner Raj has taken this place to new heights! An absolutely stunning atmosphere. The staff coordinates very well and decent wait times upon order. There’s plenty of seating, also. Hands down, THIS place takes the #1 spot for Indian dining in the Inland Empire!!!

We ran across this place and decided to try it and glad we did. This place is definitely one of our favorite so far. We liked the fact that we were seated right away. Customer service was great. Everyone was friendly and courteous. They checked on us several times to make sure if we needed anything. The place was wasn’t as busy, thank goodness, but we did see that they had a lot of to-go orders. The place was nice and relaxing. They had tv screens with music videos for entertainment. What stood out and is the most important was the food! We tried their garlic chicken (if you’re a garlic lover, you’ll like this) and their bhindi masala (okra). I never liked okra before until I tasted this dish. They gave us a choice and asked how spicy we wanted the food. We don’t like hot/ spicy dishes so we asked for mild and it was wonderful. It was mild, but very flavorful. We also tried their gulab jamun dessert (it’s like a warm donut in a sweet syrup ). Food was excellent! I can’t wait to go back and try other dishes.

I can’t get enough of this DELICIOUS FOOD! Today I tried a spicy Lamb dish and it was the best ever! The Lamb literally melted in my mouth and the sauce was excellent too. We tried the spinach and cheese dish and ooooweeeee!! Again, best food ever! 🙂

The food was horrible. The service was terrible. He didn’t even greet us. The guy at the restaurant was having an attitude. He was asking us to order even before we are ready.

March 2023: was excited to order first time as we came across this place for the first time in years. But Caught some stomach bug after eating chicken Biriyani. Chicken was old I believe and too many fibrous tissue like a fibrous chewey and had to spit it out. Recovered after 2-3 days. I’ll never come back to this place.
