Came in on a whim, I had initially been planning on eating dumplings tonight but the dumpling place was closed. I was blown away by the food, absolutely delicious and Srihari (the waiter) helped me pick an appetizer and entree that was perfect for me (I love spicy food but can't eat it as much as I used to because of stomach issues).The okra was very crispy, wonderfully spiced, and was just a tiny bit spicy. It was spicy enough to enhance the flavor but not so spicy that I'd start sweating. The tikka masala was also delicious. The sauce was very creamy and flavorful without being drowned in oil. The chicken was tender and really soaked in the flavor of the sauce. It was served with light, fluffy long grained rice. I also ordered a side of buttered naan, which was fantastic. The naan was lightly seasoned and generously buttered, making it the perfect accoutrement for the creamy masala. It added just the right bit of flavor and structure to the dish.In addition to the fantastic food, the wait staff was superb. As I mentioned, the waiter (Srihari) who took my order was extremely helpful. He helped me pick my entire order and was very attentive to my table during my whole meal even though the restaurant had a fair bit of diners in it, including a couple larger tables where he'd likely get better tips. He came by with exactly what I needed, when I needed it, from refills to to go boxes, without being overbearing. While I was eating, he'd generally leave me alone except to ask once how the food was. Then, right when I was done eating, he came by and offered to get boxes and the check. Absolutely perfect service! Srihari wasn't the only helpful staff member either, a waitress also came by my table several times. One time she was bussing another table and just happened to notice my water was low. She came by and refilled it without me saying anything even though I wasn't 'her' table.From start to end, I had a wonderful meal here and will definitely be coming back again! I would've attached more pictures, but the food was so good, I completely forgot about it until I was already done.
Despite us living just minutes away for several years, Saturday, April 13th, 2024 was the first time we visited this lovely Indian restaurant. It will become one of our regular stops now! From the warm welcome by the owner to the attentive service, excellent cuisine and reasonable prices, we saw first hand how this restaurant has gained a wonderful reputation. Big thanks to our wait staff where recommends were spot on to any request handled with ease.
Best Indian restaurant ever!!Super flavorful with every bite I was savoring the moment!We were warmly welcomed and served with excellence by our server Srihari who was very professional and all his suggestions were spot on.My wife and I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala & Lamb Rogan Josh and our expectations were exceeded.We also had the Samosa Tasting for appetizers & a mango dessert and man was that delicious!Words cannot express my gratitude for this Super clean restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere.Definitely will be back to Athithi Indian Cuisine and will recommend all my friends/family to join me!
What a gem! Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful service, and the food is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant, and I will definitely be going back. We also had the chai tea (wonderful), and the shrimp curry. Everything was perfect.

Was sceptical about this place and was pleasantly surprised. The staff is very friendly and the food was really good! I'd go back. The okra was perfect!
Our server Teju was extremely attentive and catered to our requests enthusiastically. As a vegetarian, there are usually limited options. However, Athithi’s menu offered a variety of options for me to choose from. Portions were good sized. We will definitely be visiting again with our friends.
Best food best service and they have best naan in the world ( if you are naan lover they have best naan).

We were a party of 10 at dinner there last night. We ordered many different dishes and shared everything. It was all so delicious. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive as well. I highly recommend this place. Probably the best Indian food in the area.

This is the second time ordering take out here. The atmosphere is lovely for a sit down dinner which I hope to do in the future. The food was excellent. The first time, the restaurant was new and I think it is even better now. Everything was delicious. They were so gracious while I was waiting as well...mango lassi was great!! The hardest task is selecting which entrees to sample since everything looks delicious! Gulab jamun and kheer were a nice finish to an enjoyable meal. Would highly recommend!!
The Chef turned simple chicken into a tender delicacy with mild flavors to make your mouth water. Everything was cooked to perfection, sauces added spices, color and special plating. The staff is professionally welcoming and the atmosphere created relaxing smiles of satisfied customers. Great meals that should be on your schedule once a week or more.
