I tend to be very critical of Indian food, as I grew up eating South Asian cuisine. Naturally i think my mother's cooking is the best, and everyone else thinks theirs is too (in fact, we are all correct). This place comes close though. Their street food menu is authentic and extremely tasty. Ive only had their chicken biryani but it was so moist and tender (which is a large feat, as biryani is an exhaustive dish to get right). It was so good that i got it twice in one week! Chili chicken was also great, and he manchurian noodles were tasty as well My only complaint is that the dosa we got was not as crispy; however, that could largely have been because we did take out and the dosa sat in a styrofoam bin. Seems like an excuse to go back and try it in person!

Cockroach infected place! Went to this restaurant on 07/09/2022 with my family for their buffet. It was all good untill I found a dead coackroach in their yogurt rice. When I called up the incharge to show the roach, I was told sorry and was given bill to pay. Lol I would never go to this place again and would a suggest anyone not to as well!!

The service and taste was great. However portions are small considering you are paying for an entree not off the lunch menu. Compared to other Indian restaurants I was very disappointed to see 4 tiny kofta entree.

I ordered for delivery and the food was ready in time. I tried - - malai kofta: medium spicy was great the taste was flavorful but I wish this was creamier - garlic naan: this was delicious but also needed more garlic but overall naan was well cooked.

Where do I start. The first time we went for a sit down dinner, the waiter brought over plastic cutlery in a package (like they do for take out) . I asked why we were given plastic when there was regular cutlery on the other tables (which were all empty of patrons) and he said the spoons weren't washed, yet. I asked him to please bring us real cutlery. After that, the food was good and service was good, but there was only us and another party in the restaurant. We went again Sat night and it was fairly busy, real cutlery, but we had to wait an hour for our food to come out. Nobody came at any time to refill water, or apologize for the wait. Food finally came out and it was poor quality. Chicken Tikka Masala had more big hunks of red and green pepper in it than chicken. Garlic naan was burnt in some spots making it bitter tasting. Had to ask for condiments 3 times, One our our party did not get his dinner until the rest of the table had eaten half of our dinners. They should have apologized for the wait and brought out some naan, or something to make us feel like they gave a crap that we were sitting there so long. We will never go back.

Give me for dinner on Sunday night around 5 PM. They still have Covid dated restrictions on ordering food from a QR code. However there was a lady who was able to take out order but it was kind of weird at first. The food was very tasty although my soft DOSA came crispy. Food was very tasty and quick I recommend this place for quality of food not for ambience

Waited over 25 mins for two chaats and then still said it was going to take more than another 15 mins. Wasted my time.

Food wasn’t tasty at all. Dessert was terrible. Didn’t like the environment inside. Never going there again

Absolutely fabulous food and service. I placed an order online asking for lactose free food for some of the dishes and they called me to make sure I could eat ghee (which I can) and to clarify that one of the dishes that I had ordered did have lactose. They wrote on the container to make sure I knew which one to avoid. The food arrived piping hot and delicious! The The biryani's were delicious and I loved the methi chicken. The dessert laddus were melt in your mouth perfection. The white rice side is a fluffy aromatic basmati and not the shorter grain rice some restaurants try to pass off as a side. Requests for mild or medium spice were followed exactly and my request for them to not send napkins, raita or cutlery were as well. I can't wait until we are dining out again because their menu for dosas is mouthwatering but I like my dosas crispy and still sizzling from the tava so that will have to wait. I will definitely be ordering again!

Today we went for lunch buffet and slow service in lot of items and some items are not filling for longtime

People eat here? Willingly? And they pay for it? After experiencing the buffet, I'm clueless as to why. Please, someone make it make sense....

Sweta D.

Never stop by for buffet here.None of the items are fresh or even hot which qualifies for the minimum requirements of food to eat. Terrible service even after informing multiple times to provide hot food.
