Got a pizza to go, but sat inside and had a cold beer in a frozen mug while waiting. Very popular. Filled up in a matter on minutes. Staff was very nice. All the dishes coming out to the tables looked incredible, can’t wait to go back and try some dishes!!!

Surprisingly good mix of Indian and American classics. The chaats were tasty but on the heavier side due to the reliance on potatoes. Their Indian style pizzas were actually tasty but their Hot isn’t really that Hot. Wish they added red peppers and Parmesan.

So good! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Perfect stop near JTNP, thankful to have seen their menu at my hotel. The homemade mint and tamarind chutney sauces were an AMAZING combination for the veggie samosas! The pizza was great even a few days old in the fridge. Would happily come again!

The Indian food was not that great. You know what they say, if there’s not an Indian kid in the back doing his homework, then the food’s not going to be that great

Passing through Joshua Tree, I found one Indian restaurant and was genuinely excited to eat after a long day of hiking. The restaurant was closing in an hour when I called and I placed an order over the phone. The timeliness of the order, friendliness of the female who took the order and cleanliness of the place are the only things that make the rating an average of 3 stars. The food was not particularly interesting and might have even come from a frozen food section. The rice was plentiful and who can mess up rice? The plain and garlic nan were super thin. The vegetable samosas were ok and the chutneys that went with it did not have complex flavors. The saag paneer was ok. The butter chicken only had 5 small pieces of chicken and even 2 servings was not enough! With the exception of the samosas and rice, the portions were super small for the price. I will not be returning to a place with high prices and food whose flavor is less than average.

We were surprised to find an Indian food/restaurant to start with and then they have this hard to find Punjabi Pizza with gravy. Food is delicious, must try their Punjabi Pizza and parathas.

Some of the most authentic yet unique tasting Indian food I’ve ever had. The tandoori lamb is making my mouth water just thinking about it and I ate it like 12 hours ago. The butter chicken was very traditional but also had a unique sweet flavor. Harry also recommended we put lime on the dishes to bring out the flavor and it really did bring it up a notch! The garlic onion naan was so perfectly cooked in their tandoori oven. The eggplant from the vegetarian specialties was soooo good and we are definitely meat people, so that’s saying a lot! The samosa chaat (forget the whole correct name) was very refreshing with yogurt and cucumbers and mint sauce on top. We ate every single bite and we were so full but our only regret was not getting the house made dessert! Special shout out to harry for helping us through the menu!!
