Just came in to get a lunch special, Tikka Masala and Nan.It was VERY good! If you like spicy, it will not disappoint. I'm going to bring my Mom back next time so we can have a pleasant dinner. I know she will enjoy.

Best (lamb) biryani I've ever had. Tons of flavour and just the right amount of spice. The naan is dope too. Been coming here every couple of weeks since they opened, never disappointed.

Very authentic, family owned North Indian food. Service is great, new ownership so place looks a lot different than before. Ambiance is pleasant. Will definitely recommend!

100% Halal meats! This place is delicious, my husband and I got takeout and we ordered the Punjabi masala bhindi (mild) Malai Kofta (mild) Chicken curry (medium) Chilli chicken (mild) Tandoori roti and plain rice The mild is perfect but the medium could be a tad more spicy. Looking forward to trying some more, especially the Indo Chinese.

This was my first time here. I ordered and picked up the veggie korma, gulab jamun and kheer pudding lunchtime today. The food was heaven on my palate. So delighted to find this gem. I've tried these dishes at other Asian Indian restaurants in the area and this place ranks above the competition for delivering flavor, great service and a clean inviting space!

Do not judge by its location. Food is very good in this family run restaurant.

I ordered food online from their website. It was easy to place an order and the food was ready to pick up when I got there. But that's where the good things end with this restaurant. I ordered a Butter Chicken and a Chicken Curry along with some Garlic Naan, some Poori and an order of Gulab Jamun and Gajar Halwa. Butter Chicken: Terrible. 1/5. The dish was too buttery and so very bland. The chicken was obviously not marinated in the gravy as the chicken pieces didn't have any flavor on them. The chicken was also burnt and VERY chewy. Some of the worst I've ever had. Chicken Curry: Okay. 3/5. This dish was better than the Butter Chicken but that's not a high bar to clear. It had plenty of flavor in the curry but the chicken pieces were again terrible and not cooked well. Garlic Naan: Bad. 2/5. The Naan was soooo chewy and so hard to eat. Not cooked well. And it didn't have the garlic flavor to it. Poori: Inedible. 0/5. I don't know who taught them to make Poori but that wasn't a Poori. It was DRIPPING with oil and al flaky. For $5, it was a complete waste of money. DO NOT ORDER. Gajar Halwa: Terrible. 1/5. The halwa had gone bad!!! It was starting to sour and they just gave it to me! It could have been good if it was fresh. Couldn't finish it. Gulab Jamun: Okay. 3/5. Not coming back to this place as long as they don't make some changes. I'm an Indian and this is terrible Indian food. Edit: After I posted my review, the owner of the business called it fake. So here's my receipt of my order as proof of purchase. I have no need nor inclination to post fake reviews. This is for everyone to read and judge for themselves. And not being able to take criticism doesn't bode well for a restaurant. And the reason I didn't bring the food back is because it was a to-go order and I live in Davis.

The food is delicious and elegant. The Gol Goppa is delicious but it has to be spicy. Well all the foods we ordered had a little spicy kicked to it. They have the Chana Masala that I've been looking for decades. The service is good because they check to see if anything else is needed. Pretty spacious place and quiet.
