Always enjoy coming to this restaurant. ItOffers good value for money and portions are large. Appetizers were very good as were most of the mains. The makhani dal had a beautiful clean flavor unlike the offering in many other places where lots of cream and tomatoes are used to give it richness.Vegetarian options: Lots of indian vegetarian options.Parking: Decent amount of parking in front and on the side of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant doors are fairly even with the street, so wheelchairs could be brought in.

This was nationally known delivery service (and it was not Uber eats) who picked up someone else’s order and brought it to me. Luckily, Indian hot wasn’t that spicy and what we got was good, we don’t have any dietary restrictions and our money was refunded so it was free, because the driver picked up the wrong order. We bet that driver won’t screw that up again because more than likely the other people got our order so the driver was out 2 tips.

In general the service was good except that the food was very sub-standard compared to other times we've been there. The greens salad was wilted, brown edges and had actually decayed pieces in it. The salmon in my masala dish was a poor quality or perhaps just not fresh. Sad to have this experience, since this used to be one of our favorite restaurants. The waiter did give us an unexpected dessert at the end, perhaps to make up for the uneaten, salad which they didn't replace.

Good customer service. The owner is very nice!! Good food quality, the place is kept very clean. Have never seen such spotless drinking glasses at other restaurants. This is the only place I will drink water from if it's not in a bottle!! My usual order is the Spicy Chicken Masala- highest level spice - accompanied by their white rice and their yummy bread.

Best Indian food in cville by a mile! We usually get take out, but we've dined in as well and the service is fantastic.We try something new just about every time and have never met a dish or side we didn't like. Prices and portions are great, and the to go bags are packed so thoughtfully each time. Saying how flavorful and perfectly seasoned everything is just doesn't do the kitchen justice. Must try! 11/10 for me and one of my favorite places in the area.

TL;DR: The servers were kind and always around when you needed one. The Tikka Masala was too cream heavy and the food overall was just a tad substandard for richness compared to other Indian restaurants. 3.5/5 for the food. 5/5 for the service. Plenty of parking.Specific Foods:Chicken 65: 7.7/10 (packs a decent kick)Tikka Masala: 5.6/10Saag: 7.5/10General Wait Time for 1/2 dishes: 20-30 minGeneral Comments: Restaurant is a little small so on super peak hours it may take a second to get seated. Servers offered me complimentary rice to go which I appreciated very much.Parking: Parking around the restaurant and to the back

Really high quality Indian food, always the best service, every time I leave I am always overly happy. Can’t go wrong, it’s a top spot.
The food was excellent and well priced, the tables clean and nice looking. Service was excellent and it was all around great. The only complaint was that the small restaurant could get somewhat loud with children, given the family friendly environment, but not overly so. The lamb biryani was particularly excellent, and unline anything else you can usually get around here. Also, the naan varieties and mango chutney were heavenly.

I had a fantastic experience at this Indian restaurant. I was impressed by the quality of the dishes, the cozy ambiance, and the exceptional service. What really stood out was the Malai Kofta, a delightful vegetarian dish that is a true culinary masterpiece. The vegetable dumplings are cooked in a rich, creamy sauce, filled with flavors that dance on your palate. Each bite was a delightful experience, and the blend of spices was perfectly balanced. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flavorful and authentic Indian dining experience. The Malai Kofta is a must-try, especially for those who appreciate exquisite vegetarian cuisine.

We've been there twice now making a special trip just for the food. The food is exceptional; I love it spicy hot and the medium delivers about as much as I can take.The lunch specials includes soup or salad. I've had both.The main dish; I had chicken and then the shrimp. Both were outstanding. There is a side that is chef's choice. To me, I liked both but my wife loved the first but not the second (I got hers?).Service is what you would expect. Professional, attentive, respectful...and they bring me amazing food too!!!This location is on a multi-lane road, 4 lanes each way, so when traffic is heavy you may have to wait a bit to exit. I have no issues because I know the food is waiting for me there!Wish we lived closer to enjoy a dinner!Vegetarian options: If they can make my wife happy, we are sure to return. Made her happy ?Parking: There are a few diagonal spots out front, off the road. I noticed there were more spots on the side of the building which I plan to use next time. Makes it easier to exit to 29. If you park out front you must back up and turn to exit onto 29 S.

So this was my first time getting food here, since I just moved. With that said, the food was ready when I got there and hot. The chicken curry I got was great. It came with a massive serving of rice. My only complaint is the naan I got was partially burned, so I wasn't able to eat much of it. Still a good experience overall. Highly recommend. B÷
