Chicken Tikka Masala was really good. Medium was perfect heat. I had a craving for Indian food, so we drove from Mebane to Durham after reading reviews. Didn't disappoint. We'll be visiting again.

The food was delicious! We ordered vegetable samosas, saag paneer, naan, and chicken masala. All of it was really good and pretty quick for Indian food. Spice levels were on point too. It’s worth going to.

Fantastic Indian food, among the best in Durham. We’ve eaten here several times, dishes are distinct with fresh flavors, not too much reliance on ghee. Staff is friendly and helpful. It’s clean and well lit for eating in but really designed more as a takeout, fast casual atmosphere. It’s our new go-to Indian takeout place in west Durham.

Decided to stop here after a duke eye appointment where I checked out the menu in the waiting room. The food was just as delicious as it looked on the website. The place was not what I expected when I got here. I was expecting a restaurant, but this is more like a takeout spot with minimal seating. However, I grabbed a spot at a barstool against the window facing the outside. Service was great and the employees were very friendly. The food was extremely delicious. I got the lunch special with butter chicken and the vegetable samosa appetizer. The sauces that came with the appetizer were incredible! I’m a foodie, and I love flavor. Every single flavor was a party in my mouth. They deserve a high-end restaurant set up. If you’re thinking about coming here, don’t hesitate. It is worth the wait.

Very nice staff. The chicken tikka masala and mango lassi were both delicious!! I found the rice a bit bland, and the saag paneer wasn’t my favorite but my husband loved it. Looking forward to trying more itemsKid-friendliness: Lots of outdoor seating, our kids were able to play

Based on the look of the place I thought it was going to be fast casual, so I was a little surprised by the wait time (15 minutes) and prices. BUT they were both so worth it. The butter paneer, cauliflower, and naan were incredible. The order also came with a free rice pudding!
