Hands down the best Indian food I ever had atleast in the northeast region. The quality and taste of the chicken and sauce is unbeatable. I tried some spots in other parts of New England and it doesn’t compare. Either the chicken has no taste, it’s dry, or doesn’t taste like chicken the sauce lacks flavor or is not juicy. I love the food here! I would eat it everyday. The environment as well is nice, I feel like I’m in India. The music, the atmosphere, the people and the decorations. Everything is top tier!

Food: we had amazing butter chicken, lamb saag, naan, and ras malai. Everything was fresh, beautifully plated, plenty large portions, and flavorful. We met the chef who said he tries to source as much as possible local. They even have spices you can buy to take home that are ridiculously pungent and delicious! Service: even without the great food, I would give this place five stars for service. They were technically closed when me and my friend (visibly pregnant) showed up. They opened a table despite being closed and then were SO HOSPITABLE. Our waiter Sonny was friendly and told us stories about his family (he was working home from college). Food came out fast and chef came to meet us! Atmosphere: beautiful inside, calm, nice attention to details and lovely decor. All around great experience EDIT: after reading others’ reviews I want to add a comment about price. We ordered: chai, vegetable pakora, butter chicken, lamb saag, naan, ras malai, AND two full take-home containers of fresh spices and it was less then $100. We have gotten two additional meals from it. We know that we have some skewed price perceptions (from living in assorted places including NY and CA) but it was very reasonable for the quality and size and service.

We were traveling up to northern VT and found this little gem when we got hungry and searched for a place on bringfido. They have a really nice little patio area that’s dog friendly. They were very nice and bought water for our dogs. The drinks and food were delicious. We got the naan, an eggplant dish, and chicken tikka masala. It is slightly on the pricier side but the taste wnd especially the service was worth it. Everyone was so kind and friendly. If we ever are in Brattleboro again, we would definitely stop buying.

My boyfriend and I visited your restaurant on a snowy evening, just 30 minutes before closing. Despite the late hour, we were warmly welcomed by your friendly staff and were delighted that we could still order takeout. While we waited, we were offered delicious tea, which was a perfect treat on such a cold winter night. The Dal Tadka and naan bread were incredibly fresh and flavorful. I appreciate that your food is cooked to order, ensuring its quality. While the prices are on the higher side, the exceptional taste and freshness of the food make it worthwhile. If anyone is hesitant about dining at your restaurant, I encourage them to give it a try. They will be greeted by friendly faces and wonderful service.

I have dined here multiple times in the past months and exemplary dining experiences were only had. The Valentine’s Day event was quite a blast for the price was more than reasonable for 2 people and they gave flowers to my date and I. The food is incredible, I keep trying new items on the menu. I could order the desserts alone without any issues. I highly recommend Chicken/Lamb Saag and several orders of Gulab Jamun. Just because you can’t say the name of the meal doesn’t mean you should try it. Be prepared to be hooked on some great food.

Such a lovely place for having an authentic Indian dinner. The restaurant is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating, and presents with a gentle ambiance featuring many Indian art objects. The chicken curry was delightful, simmered in a curry sauce that was not heavy. The lamb dish was very tasty, with ample rice. The lassi drinks are also some of my favorite items for drinks. The portions are filling, and take-home is encouraged. Really a lovely place.
