We ordered takeout online. Food was amazing! (And we eat Indian food often). Ordered the half tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, rice and two mango lassis. Both chicken dishes were cooked perfectly, moist, tender with amazing flavor. The portions were really generous. Two of us couldn't finish everything and we tried! The mango lassis were the perfect level of sweet and smooth, AND cold which isn't easy. The restaurant was clean and the service was quick, staff was polite and professional. I asked for paper plates and plasticware bc we were staying at a hotel and they were very accommodating. Would definitely eat here again! Photos don't do the amazing food justice.

Just as great as the Aptos location!Was in the area and decided to try this particular location; the food and service were just as good as the Aptos location. A little birdie also told me there will be one coming to Los Gatos as well, so I’m super excited about that.Not much to say other than this place is SOOOO good, but I’m not shocked. If you don’t like Indian food, this place will make you change your mind. Anything and everything is good!No hard liquor but they do offer wine and beer.Parking is easy; they have their own stand-alone lot.Some of the dishes you must try are: Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Tandoori Mixed Grill, Chana Masala and Raita (yogurt sauce). Of course, the usual naan and saffron rice to use as a vehicle….We ordered all this for two and had plenty for dinner the next night. This place is definitely better for a larger party (family style) but can always take leftovers to go like we did.Didn’t get our server’s name but he was very friendly and attentive.

All I can say is that I can't stop thinking about the Butter Chicken. It's SO delicious. I wish I had the recipe. I've gone here a couple times with friends. It's not my husband's cup of tea. Both times we've all had the buffet. The food was fresh and steaming hot. The servers were nice and helpful. Hmmm. Maybe I'll order out the Butter Chicken and pick up something for my husband!

We are so grateful that we have this wonderful Indian restaurant in our small town. The interior is very nicely decorated and has a nice intimate setting. There's a good area for a small party. Every dish we had so far was yummy. But our main dishes we like to enjoy over and over again is the samosa, the lamb, and the mango lassi. We have not tried their lunch buffet yet but look forward to it one day.

We had an amazing dining experience here. Go for this hot, hygienic, tasty and authentic Indian food presented by friendly and efficient staff in pleasant and cozy ambience. The interiors are great and immaculately maintained. The bar is well stocked and their cocktails are awesome. Ample parking space is available. The place is easy to locate and reach. I strongly recommend this place for family dining. Will visit again for sure.

All our orders were disappointing. The veggie platter was excessively oily, and the pakoda and samosa resembled reheated frozen ones, even the frozen ones taste better. Additionally, the tomato soup tasted more like paneer butter masala gravy.

Decent location in Scotts Valley, across from The Hilton. A lot of the restaurant's walls are compromised of windows, which is quite nice. While the interior design is quite nice, the restaurant looks clean, and the lighting is good with a lot of natural light from the window walls, the seating is quite cramped, the table real estate is a bit tight, and the chairs aren't so comfortable (but not outright uncomfortable).The food is good; not outstanding, but definitely good. They have a few yummy sauces as well, including a mouthwatering tamarind chutney and a vibrant mint chutney that does a nice job of refreshing the palate. The desserts of kheer and mango custard are very nice. Seven days a week, 11:45-2:45, they have a nice buffet that includes drinks. While the buffet does provide a nice opportunity to enjoy several different dishes, to my surprise it didn't include channa masala or dal or aloo gobi. It's pretty decent value at about $20, considering it includes drinks and desserts.
