The food was fantastic!! I've had a lot of Indian food and this was the best place I've been to. Everything is seasoned with care and well balanced in flavor. The medium was actually medium and a nice warmth and depth of flavor compared to other places I've been. The staff is great and even have some recommendations of what they liked the best and what was popular. I'm very surprised and confused that this place wasn't super busy for dinner
The food and portions were great, and the service was outstanding. The environment was clean and inviting, with soothing background music. I visited on Thanksgiving Day when everything else was closed and decided to give this place a try—I'm so glad I did! I’ll definitely return. Thank you for the excellent service!
Pleasantly surprised! Ordered DoorDash and the butter chicken was flavorful, a bit spicier than I’m used to for butter chicken but not crazy spicy, just VERY flavorful and delicious. Loaded with chicken (I mention this because we’ve been disappointed with other Indian delivery for lack of protein) They had a buy 1 get 1 for the onion naan so we tried that, had fresh chunks of red onion, and it was good but I prefer a plan naan. We had to take advantage of the offer lol. Currently eating left overs because of the generous portions.
In ALL categories, this restaurant is a winner. First, the food. Fresh, a wide selection, flavors unique and distinct, the meat used higher quality that what I find elsewhere, and the service always top notch. They did a great job with the interior design, the seats (booths and table seats) are comfortable. The acoustics in the room allow you to hear each other, and they play enjoyable unique Indian music. A great family or date night.
My husband and I visited this restaurant for the first time on Sunday evening and we were truly impressed. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, and the experience only got better from there. The highlight of our visit was the outstanding service provided by Ash. He was not only managing the entire restaurant on his own but doing so with incredible efficiency and a warm, friendly attitude. Despite being busy, he took the time to explain the menu to us, guiding us through the different dishes and helping us make the perfect choices. The food itself was absolutely delicious—authentic flavors, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Indian food paired with exceptional service!!!
Took my family here to try a new Indian restaurant in town. I've eaten a lot of Indian; from So Cal, to England, to the Bay Area. This was remarkable quality. Food was very fresh, the flavors were defined, outstanding and remarkable, service was fast and polite, pricing was extremely reasonable, especially considering the high quality. If you haven't tried them yet, you should make it a point specifically. They also take phone orders. 10/10 we will be having another meal from here in the next 30 days. Pictured is: Butter Chicken, Lamb Vindaloo, and Spinach with cheese. Rice perfectly cooked, and Garlic Naan bread. All excellent quality.
When my fiancee and I arrived, we were warmly greeted at the door. The waiter was absolutely amazing. He knew the spiciness based on his crowd and was able to give great suggestions. He was very attentive and had an amazing sense of humor and personality! The food! Wow, the food was the best that I have had at an Indian resteraunt in CA and NV. If you are looking for a great setting, marvelous service and excellent food please do yourself a favor and come here.
