I tried this place on a workday lunch break. From the outside, I couldn’t tell if the restaurant was in business at first glance. There were no other customers during my time there. They had traditional Indian music playing and the very comfy seats made the atmosphere rather cozy. I’m usually very sceptical of the quality of dishes because I am used to strong tasting food. But when I took my first bite, my senses came alive! The spiciness was topnotch and I was immensely impressed. I had to walk back to my office without my jersey on a cold day; it was that good.

This place is thoroughly disgusting. I ordered take out and ate the food with 30 mins. The food tasted and smelt stale. I ate it anyway because I was hungry. I then got sick couple of hours later. I threw up and was in the bathroom with dysentery a few times.

Hands down, the best Indian food I’ve had in the US. The Vegetarian Tandoori Momos and the Caulifower Roast are a must try.

This place is hard to spot, but what a gem!!! The food is fantastic, the host is so nice and kind. About what we had: charred cauliflower in a curry sauce and two lamb dishes (Himalayan and koorma), everything was so saucy and creamy and wonderfully spiced. Food came out quick, too. Can’t say enough good things!

Nice presentation of food and the service, servers were extremely good. The food was good but lacked salt and spices. We tried the thali and the butter chicken. The paneer was really good.

Food was nowhere close to even being edible. Tomato purees poured over sauted meat and veggies. Server was not interested in customers

Very interesting kind of Indian fusion place. We tried the kale and bhel which was basically pakoda but made of kale. I never realized it was made of kale. We also tried Bombay chat which was pani puri + aloo tikki. Pani puri was okay, but the aloo tikki felt too oily. We had chole masala as the entree, but it did not impress us. It felt like it was missing spices. Naan was good.

“I think I have a new favorite Indian restaurant” -Me “There are no Indian restaurants after this one” – My partner. Food here was unlike any Indian cuisine I’ve tasted. All the regular dishes but prepared in a way that can only be described as superlative. They are the Michelangelo of flavor.
