You can order yourself through kiosk. This is located around many different options and dessert. Me and my partner got the chicken masala and coconut curry with garlic cheese naan and regular naan. The Chicken masala was a 10/10. Sooo gooooddd. The Coconut curry was not bad and tasty. But I preferred the masala major. The garlic cheese naan wasn't as cheesy as I wanted it to be. It's like little pieces of cheese inside. Total including drink was about $43. Not much meat. But flavoring was delicious. Be careful eating outside or you'll get attacked by pigeons lol Small setting indoor but there's options to sit at the window.

Legit Indian food as I usually validate my opinion if you see "locals" enjoying a taste from home. Their dishes have much more depth and authenticity than the usual Berkeley haunts...the place is small and unassuming but don't let that fool you.

Great Tikka burritos!

Lamb curry and chicken tikka could be spicier, have more meat, and have less salt. Even the meat itself is too salty without the sauce. The chicken tikka was also too creamy--tasted very buttery and not very spicy or tomatoey. Mango lassi is OK but should be a bit more tangy/pulpy. Garlic naan was pretty solid. 5 stars because I want this place to stick around and I think they can improve from the feedback.

Wow! We've had some pretty subpar Indian on Door Dash and this is by far the best Indian food I've had in a long time! I called to ask if they could make the Aloo Gobi extra spicy and it was perfect. The Samosa Chaat was a wonderful blend of spicy and sweet and the Chicken Tikka Masala was everything you'd want it to be. The portions were smaller than expected, but I would much rather have quality over quantity. Will happily be ordering again!

Biryani was pretty bad. They also messed up our order. We ordered chicken 65 but they gave us tandoori chicken instead. Previously we had ordered malai kofta and paneer, they were a lot more palatable.

Got the chicken biryani, veggie biryani, veggie samosa, cilantro garlic naan, gulabjamun, fresh sweet lassi, and the fresh aloo paratha. I loved all the food as it was flavorful, spiced evenly, and packed a punch with every bite, the samosas had a great crunch, though the naan and paratha were a bit on the burnt side. The sauces were good with the samosas and the naan and added a ton of flavor. My favorite was the biryanis as the rice and onions were so flavorful and tasty in themselves. I did not like the lassi as much due to personal preferences, but it was a great aspect to try out overall. Order on Snackpass for a discount! It's right in the gourmet ghetto!

Another rando "chicken biryani = pulao" restaurant. Dont put your taste buds through this cringe.

I was craving a chicken tikka burrito and was so hungry that I was willing to pay $17 for it. I expected a Chipotle-sized thick burrito that I could save for two meals (I have a small appetite). It was good but not worth $17. It was a small-to-average size burrito, and I ate it in one sitting which I never do. Other than that, a single tandoori leg with naan costing less than $10 is really nice for someone with a small appetite. And their chicken tikka masala always hits!! The main guy who works there is always nice. The place is clean and has a cool modern vibe to it. The price is probably not their fault, maybe inflation. I do think for students it would be appreciated to assign a better price or make the burrito size larger. $17 is just crazy to me. I expected something bigger than my head.

We are Vegetarian and had next level Chana-Kulcha, freshly made aloo paratha (not microwaved frozen paratha) and paneer paratha. I'll definitely come back here and hope I still get the same food.You might be better off for a take out. Sit down can be hit or a miss as this place is crowded.
