I love this restaurant, but I’m having such a hard time locating this restaurant after they moved. The updated location seems to be next to redrock, but I couldn’t find the entrance. Online orders through eatstreet and doordash are closed, and there’s no phone number to contact and ask questions

Great take out. Malai Kofta is the best in town!

Do not like the food.Ordered:samosa chat worst I ever had.Malai kofta and other paneer curries has the same taste. And the taste is also not good too. One star because they let us sit over there closing time.

Tasty food and the samosa chaat. Went in morning and it was almost empty. Location is great. But, no buffet!!!

This place is a hidden gem! Literally the location is terrible, it gets zero foot traffic because it's in the upper level of an old 2 story complex on State St. Everything we got was good: garlic naan, samosas (could have used more sauce), tikki masala, shrimp vindaloo. Tasty place but lacks the ambiance. Napkins were "select a size" paper towels, bathroom smells. But the food is good! I wish more people would give it a chance. Perhaps a little pricy for students

I just about always get the chicken korma and it is as good as anything that I've had, although I think the chicken could be slightly more tender and not quite overcooked. Also, if you're doing carry-out they don't actually start making your food until you arrive, so you have to wait around for 15 minutes even though they tell you over the phone it'll be ready in 25 minutes. But maybe offering to pay over the phone would help eliminate that.

Went there for dinner; sat at a table for 15 mins; and no one said hello, brought the menu, or asked if I needed anything. I got up and left. Edit: I'm revising the review because I went there again the following day and this time both the food and the service were good.

The only thing that's good about this restaurant is the aloo naan. They gave us 5 pieces of paneer in the paneer bhuna and the paneer Tikka masala had no flavor at all. The service that we got was bad and extremely discriminatory. I won't be returning here!

The paneer chilli and saag chana were great! The veg momo is a must try. Great prices too :)

We went in to the restaurant with a large group of people during business hours and there was nobody there to seat us or take our order. I even called back in to the kitchen for someone to help us but they just ignored us. They must not want any business.

I had dinner here with my wife. They seemed very short staffed, and it took them a long time to get our orders in, bring our food. The servers were perfectly friendly, but a bit scattered and obviously stretched thin. The door didn't close automatically, and so the whole restaurant would go freezing when someone left. It would take several minutes for someone to get up to close the door, and each time it felt like the temperature reached 40-50 degrees. The food was ok. The garden salad was not, and came undressed. When we asked for dressing, they gave us a thimble of grocery store ranch dressing. I had the lamb massala, which I liked. It was creamy, spicy, and had a reasonable amount of tender lamb. My wife's palak paneer was a little light on the paneer. The portions were small, especially for the price. The gulab jaman we had for dessert was a highlight, served warm, and not as sickeningly sweet as many restaurants made them. My wife's mango lassi was likewise a positive, tangy, denser, creamy, not too sweet. Overall I'm not sure if I'd come back, largely because of the value/service.

Very good food and excellent service. The price is fair and state street is fun. We eat outside in the terrace.

A disappointing first experience. Watery runny chicken masala with rubbery funny tasting chicken. Mild did not have any spiciness. Somewhat sweet than it is supposed to be.Garlic naan hard and dry. Otherwise tasted fine.Mushroom masala sweet no spice for mild. Overall not happy, however delivery by rat street was timely.

Such great comfort food, especially if you're feeling sick. The portions are great & the taste is amazing. while i was feeling weak from the flu, the tikka masala really hit the spot!Usually when im sick i dont want any food & struggle to find food appetizing, but this really is helpful. Enough for a whole day or two of small portions to make sure im not super weak as i recover -- a godsend really!
