We had crispy chicken fingers. The chicken Tiki Marsala is delicious and so was the Lamb Curry. The lamb was tender and the curry was flavorful. We will be back.

My family of 4 had dinner here for the first time at 6pm on Valentine's Day. Parking was right on the street and it was metered, but the meter times end at 6 so parking was easy and free. It's a small place with just a few tables but we were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We ordered papadam, paneer pakora and garlic naan to start, with an amazing house chutney. All very good. They brought a carafe of ice water and glasses--only downside to that was that it didn't seem to be filtered and had a strong chlorine taste. They didn't offer bottled water and I don't usually drink soft drinks but ended up with a Diet Coke which was fine. We had chicken saag, chicken tiki and lamb biryani. The chicken was remarkably moist for white meat and very flavorful, as was the lamb. The rice was delicious, with saffron and toasted cumin seeds. We also ordered one beer and a couple of lassi yoghurt drinks that my boys raved about, though they didn't like them served on ice. There was enough left over for two lunches today! Our total bill was $116, which seemed quite reasonable and we'll definitely be going back.

The food is absolutely delicious. I've had the vindaloo, chicken masala, jalfrezi, saag paneer, and garlic naan. It takes a while for some of it to be made, but they are always polite and it is worth the wait. It's a lowkey vibe inside. Tables large enough for a family dinner or small enough for a date night.

Always good! I've been coming here for almost 30 years! Love the keema mattar!

Meh. We went because of all the hype of Seinfeld having been at the restaurant, but I think I never want to go again. All the meats were completely dry. The naan is not good, very thin and dry. While eating, someone in the kitchen made continuous hardcore vomiting and/or moist coughing sounds for 5 min. It's also fairly expensive. I can't believe I'm saying this, but there is much better Indian food in Northampton.

We were driving back home from NJ so thought we will stop by at this place based on decent reviews. Only one word can explain this place “ Horrible “. We asked for seek kebab but our waiter said it will take 1 hour. We didn’t wanted to wait that long so we place order for chicken tikka , dal tadka and naan/tandoori roti. After waiting for 30 mins he got us chicken tikka which was uncooked and tasted horrible .we left chicken tikka and we asked our waiter to bring main course. Can you believe he came back after one hour saying that they cannot make dal tadka but they can give us dal makhani instead. When they took the order they should have informed us . Anyways we left without having dinner after wasting 1 hour. They didn't even had a courtesy to apologize . Beware of all the good reviews , it seems they are all fake . I wish I would have known this before going to this restaurant. I hope this review helps someone .

This was my first time here and I loved it. I came here with a friend on Monday at 6:30 and it was very quiet. We ordered the veggie samosas and the veggie masala. Both were absolutely delicious. We also got their garlic naan. Service was great. They constantly checked in on us and filled our water. I would definitely come back and try more of their items.
I have been eating lactose vegetarian Indian food for 55 years. Have been to India 20 times. Have eaten at this location for 20 years. I agree it’s outstanding. But the last time I was there I ordered malai kofta and it did have not one cashew or fruit in it and there were fewer koftas. I was disappointed. Prices have gone up everywhere and I appreciate that. But quality should not suffer when the customer is paying more. The service was rude and I have not been back. Also… vegans should just go find a vegan restaurant. The world doesn’t revolve around them

Not sure how this restaurant got into the top eatery places in pioneer valley. The food is far away from being a good Indian place. Food is not fresh, the basic rice is not completely cooked. $21 for a lamb dish is expected to be top notch and in good quantity, I was deeply disappointed by the taste, quality and quantity. We also ordered kofta curry which was very expensive for 3 prices of kofta, price aside the kofta balls were super dry. Northampton and West Hartford serve some good Indian food at reasonable prices compared to this. Not even worth 1 star!!

Fantastic food, best Indian dishes I’ve had in a long time. Got the vegetable samosas, paneer jalfrezi with garlic naan, coconut naan (AMAZING), and for dessert Gulab Jamun and Kheer. Reminds me of days at my friends house, a 1st Generation Indian family. Highly recommend!
Mostly street parking, although there is a lot behind the building you can park in.I had the vegetable samosas, Paneer Vindaloo, Coconut Naan, and Gulab Jamun.Everything here was good and the spice level is high. Even mild is noticeable. Also, Coconut naan is a game changer. It's my new favorite. Something about the sweetness makes everything else taste better.Highly recommend if you're ever in the Springfield area and craving good Indian food.
