I've been coming here for over a year and it's been a great hole in the wall. Today was a completely different story. There seemed to be a huge amount of stress when I entered. The lady owner asked me to pay upfront so I did (unusual). I ordered aloo paratha. They normally cut it up into 8 slices and pack the yogurt (goes with the aloo paratha), napkins etc. When my food came out, it wasn't cut, no yogurt, no napkins ... so I asked for it. More attitude from the lady. When I opened the paratha there was aloo on only one side of the paratha. This is mind blowing, never been treated this way by my own people. Disgusting. Also my chai didn't have sugar after I requested it when preparing . "You can put the sugar in yourself" she said. Wow! And finally, here's a pic of my falling apart, uncut, lopsided aloo paratha featuring receipt. Ps. Wishing half a star was an option.

My friend and I came here because we were very hungry and we couldn't decide what to get. We both enjoy Indian food so we decided to give this place a shot. I ordered Veggie Fasal, we got Biryani rice, ginger cauliflower, and some other cashew cream and veggie dish. I asked my waitress about my dish bc it was my first time ever trying it. I asked if it had sauce and she said yes. We also ordered Mulligitawny soup. After ordering we realized we ordered too much and hadn't consulted each other on our food choices to share. I tried to cancel the soup, I was denied. No worries the soup was actually good. Very warming. The ginger cauliflower actually had a very familiar taste, it was decent. I would order again. When we got to my dish, the Fasal, that's where it gets interesting. I asked if my dish had sauce bc I like saucy dishes. Turns out it was like grilled veggies with a spicy yogurt coating. Definitely not a sauce and coudnt be confused for sauce. I think our server was so focused on getting us to get the a dish, she embellished so very important details. The Fasal wasn't bad, it just want what I wanted and also seemed more of a side than a main dish. It was literally just a small portion of grilled veggies. My friend wasn't a fan of her dish the flavor was okay just small portion size and again more like an appetizer than a main. The Biryani was a miss. Definitely wasn't $16 worth in terms or taste, flavor or freshness. Hard pass on that. I would could not see myself ordering here in the future.

WE LOVE!!! this place. It’s absolutely incredible. The food here is the most authentic Indian food I’ve had in the country with the most options and best flavours. The service is incredible as well. Their Chaat, drinks and makhani is amazing. Literally don’t go anywhere else if you want Indian food

Beautiful and happy place to spend time with your loved ones. I tried some new drinks, as mint masala has started with new drink menu specials the fruity wine punch , my friends and myself have shared different drinks and believe me it was mind blowing and so refreshing.

So we were looking for a place to eat dinner last night and I was in the mood for Indian food. We were driving and were getting it to go since there was no parking. We decided just to take a chance with this place after reading good reviews. The food was mediocre at best and I thought it was very expensive for what they gave us. The portion sizes were small and the Naan bread wasn’t very flavorful. We ordered Chana Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, 2 Naan breads and a Mango Lassi totaling $52! The chickpea dish was extremely salty, the chicken tiki masala tasted like it was in SpaghettiOs sauce. The mango lassi was pretty good but super sweet. The only thing I liked was the rice because it had a lot of cardamom in it. It tasted like someone had tried to cook Indian Food for the first time and also felt like a rip off but I guess it happens sometimes!
Great and affordable price point for comfort food.

Been here a few times. Super fresh Indian food (South Indian specifically). Warning, when they say it is really spicy, they mean Desi spicy, not white spicy. So anything on the menu marked as very spicy will actually burn. Best of all, it is halal!

Got their vegetable samosas and they did not disappoint! The mashed potatoes inside were warm and full of spice and I absolutely love the fluffy exterior that reminds me of puff pastry. They come with two types of sauces (green and red) and basically, I was so intrigued by the green sauce that I basically drizzled it on my samosa every bite until there was none left (wink wink nudge nudge the sauce is good!). Someone I know recommended this place because it is close to NYU and wow, I am delighted because they have vegan options so another place to take your friends with any diet/allergy restriction :) YESSIR
