Beautiful experience. The food was delicious. The best Punjabi bhaji i ever ate, also the garlic Naan, was perfect. The ambiance was very mom and pop but more elegant.Hema, our server, was very sweet and hospitable. It's a little tight, but I definitely would love to go back. It's a family run restaurant, a tiny Indian jewel in Broadripple!
The food was amazing and served quickly. I tried a few new things and will definitely be coming back. Vegetable Samosas Mango milkshake Lamb Dopiaza Aloo Kulcha
Easily the 2nd best Indian restaurant in midwest! Food is made with proper ingredients and is flavorful. Sometimes the curry is too watery, but easily the best naans, top quality rice, fresh ingredients and real effort from the kitchen to serve food close to home
The best Indian food I have had in Indianapolis. The staff is very polite and efficient, excellent flavor and they do take requests to remove cashew toppings as well as alter the spice level. The building is small but felt cozy and clean. Parking is either street parking or risking behind the building
Pavna and Neeti, a team of strong and powerful women who opened this place as a joint venture. As tourist to Indianapolis, we wanted to make sure we tried authentic Indian cuisine. And when we made the decision to come to this place, let me tell you, it was the best decision. The staff is super friendly, is efficient with their service, the chef works in the kitchen herself and makes sure the taste and quality is delivered to its utmost standard. Pavna, the restaurant owner, is such a sweet person. She was personable, asked everyone at the table if they enjoyed their meal and even conversed in Punjabi which only made the experience more authentic. This place, is by far is the best Indian food I have had in years. Absolutely loved it. To anyone visiting this town, you cannot miss this. You have to give it a try and suppprt this amazing business.
The culinary artistry at this newly discovered (at least for me) restaurant is truly impressive under the new management. Unlike the previous regime, I hadn't experienced their previous offerings, but the current team has elevated the dining experience. The food speaks volumes about their dedication and passion. I particularly relish the garlic naan for its perfect balance — not too thick, not too thin, maintaining the integrity of both doughy and crispy textures. The curries boast a delightful creaminess, nuttiness, and a rich symphony of flavors. For fellow enthusiasts of Indian cuisine, giving this place a try is highly recommended; you won't be disappointed!
The food and service are amazing! My friends and I went here for dinner on a Friday night to celebrate a birthday. The food was delicious and the service was quick. My friends were offered a free dessert and the owner of the restaurant came out to personally wish them a happy birthday. We will definitely be coming back!
