I had a very private and personal experience as no one else was there besides my date and I. The music was great I was moving my body to the authentic sounds of India. The gentleman who hosted us was incredibly polite. We ordered the Chicken 65 and it was so delicious! Garlic Naan bread on the side and a delicious Mango Lassi to sip all complimented my entree choice well. I will definitely be returning. The food was very delicious and you won’t find anything else this tasty in the Quad Cities.Vegetarian options: My sister is vegetarian and I will be bringing her here. She will love the endless offerings for a meatless entree.

Everything about the experience was fantastic. The owner was extremely friendly and polite making us feel welcome I hadn't been there in a few years and the food was just as delicious as I remember. We both had the chicken 65 and the blend of spices was divine and a total flavor bomb. The business has been around for years but I don't feel gets the attention and admiration it deserves, nobody within 100 miles of this restaurant should be sleeping on the incredible food here

The host was so kind and courteous. I enjoyed the music, and the quiet environment. The food arrived quickly and I enjoyed every bite. I had plenty to take home even. The chicken 65 satisfied my hunger for spices and flavors not typically used in American cuisine. The garlic naan paired well, and the mango Lassi drink was delicious treat. I ate my leftovers before bed last night and all the spices sat well on my tummy. Do not be afraid to try something new Quad Cities! Come try a bite and see for yourself. Also very reasonably priced and tons of vegetarian options!

Service is awful here. He wants your order and that's it. Doesn't ask about refills or anything. The meat in the food I had was about half bones. Prices have been raised quite a bit. Fifteen to sixteen dollars for rice, a little meat, and sauce. Then four dollars more for bread. I used to like this place. Every time I have went it seems to get worse. Not planning on returning.

Update: The bathrooms are filthy! This is Moline, not Mumbai! Gross. Makes one wonder if the employees wash & what the kitchen looks like. Even though the food is good, the restaurants hygiene will keep me away.Haven’t been here since pre-Covid. They no longer have the buffet for lunch which was a disappointment, but not shocked since so many restaurants haven’t brought back their buffets. They couldn’t make any money & Covid restrictions taught them that.I ordered a goat curry & my friend ordered a shrimp dish. We both thoroughly enjoyed them. The garlic naan was delicious. We had a chickpea based soup that was good as well. It was too bad we were the only ones there. Hopefully their dinner crowd & carry out makes up the difference. Prices were fair. All goat dishes have bones, but they minimized them. I actually like their food better than the Indian restaurant in East Moline in the World Market. If you enjoy Indian food, give them a try.

The food and service were good. At the time I ate there, I was the only person in the restaurant. Great selection of vegetarian dishes and appetizers. The Lassi (salty) was really good.

This Indian restaurant, in the middle of nowhere, makes the best Indian food in the Midwest. We savored every dish, and absolutely like a home cooked meal.

We ordered ONE butter chicken and two garlic naan, they charged us for TWO butter chicken and two garlic naan when we went to pay he never told us the price, when we went back inside to tell him he charged us for more he said he couldn’t do anything about it and walked off. Don’t come here.

Very good place. Atmosphere and interior are very low key. Food totally makes up for it. I'll be back.

Probably the third time I've ever had Indian food. It's always been meh for me. I got the buttered chicken and it is now in my top five favorite meals in the QC. Pair that with some garlic naan and you won't be disappointed. I also got the Keemsa Somosas and they were just okay. I will happily change my rating to five stars next time I go and have a good appetizer.

Terrible place to eat. My parents who never tried Indian food before, each of the had a hair in their plates. The food was not tasty at all. If you are really looking for good Indian food, skip this. Is not good at all!! Really disgusting!!!!!
