I love Indian food! This restaurant is clean, the staff friendly and attentive. The food was amazing! One member of our party had never had Indian food, so we let him try all our dishes, he really enjoyed the experience, Biriyani, Lamb Corma and Chicken Makhani were his favorite. I have food allergies and they were able to adjust to meet my diet restrictions.

I ordered through grub hub, not knowing the area I opted for the nearest restaurant to my hotel. The food arrived, hot and fresh. I received a huge portion of rice with my dishes. There was even too much food for me to finish but I’m okay with leftovers because the food was fantastic!!!! I even had to call the restaurant and thank them personally for such a great experience. Highly highly recommend the food! Great job guys, I’ll be back for sure!

I love this restaurant! The owner is so nice, as is how whole family. The food is amazing and we always are treated like friends when we go there. In particular, the butter chicken, curried goat, tandoori chicken, mango pudding, and Chai tea are outstanding.

The food is mediocre at best. Went there with my parents none of us liked the food. It lacked flavors, everything tasted very bland and boring. We tried both veg n non-veg. Though there naan was excellent and the owner is very warm n welcoming but that doesn’t make up for below average food. The food isn’t even close to good for American taste palate forget about Indian.

Definitely not quality Indian food. I ordered shrimp masala five star and the shrimp was tiny over cooked and the flavors of the nasal were very mild and off putting. The menu states tiger shrimp…so that was disappointing. Just not that great, it’s like fast food Indian food

NO STARS .. Not a place for vegetarian food. Service was too bad. We found plastic cover in the food our kid was about to eat. We complained it to the management, the chef accepted that it’s a cover but he was so sure that eating a plastic cover won’t be a health issue. And advised me not to make any issue of it.

This place has the best northern Indian food. The owners used to run Tandoor. You’ll know what to expect if you recognize that name. If you don’t, go in for their lunch buffet and get a nice sample of their dishes. Then, go back for dinner to try those dishes or something new all prepared to your spice preference. I highly recommend going with the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken masala, or chicken julfrazi. They are all great dishes for newer people to experience their first taste. And don’t forget the naan, yum.

Some of the best Indian food I’ve had in the Metro area! Food was fresh, and the friendly waiter gladly explained us the menu. Very helpful, since I never really know what I’m ordering when I order Indian. 🙂
