You walk in and feel like you’re dining at a 5 star restaurant for real. Wife loved the paneer masala and the garlic naan. The chicken korma tasted so good going in and even if it wasn’t too spicy I felt it the next day 😅 Still worth it though.
This is definitely one of the communities best hidden gems. Me and my wife visited this restaurant on Black Friday. In the middle of our busy shopping, we walked in and was baffled at how beautiful it looked for one and two how great the service and how friendly the staff was. The food here was so tasteful, and it looked beautifully cooked.And it was definitely seasoned well. We can not wait to return. Definitely need to visit. You will not be disappointed
I love it here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting good food and a quiet, calm, welcoming atmosphere. Everything tastes 😋 good but my favorite is Goat/Lamb Kadai extra spicy with garlic naan.
From the moment you step into this Indian restaurant, you’re welcomed by warm aromas, rich colors, and an inviting ambiance that promises an authentic culinary journey. The décor balances traditional Indian elegance with cozy, modern touches, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Let’s talk about the food—because it’s nothing short of exceptional! We had both the lamb curry and the swordfish masala - both showstoppers. Each was tender, slow-cooked meat infused with deeply layered spices—each bite delivered the kind of warmth and complexity that makes Indian cuisine unforgettable. Pair it with their homemade traditional garlic naan, which is made to order and served piping hot, its edges perfectly crisp and the center delightfully chewy, infused with just the right amount of garlic. Appetizer-wise, the paneer pakora is golden-fried perfection—crisp on the outside and soft, melty paneer on the inside. It’s the kind of starter that vanishes in minutes. To cool things down and balance the spice, the mango lassi is thick, creamy, and refreshing—a classic done just right. Service is attentive without being intrusive. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to guide you through the menu, sharing recommendations or spice level adjustments as needed. Their pride in the cuisine shines through. Whether you’re a seasoned fan of Indian food or a curious newcomer, this restaurant offers an authentic, flavor-packed experience that lingers long after the last bite. Trust me—this is a spot worth coming back to.
This is a hidden gem. Very clean. Extremely attentive staff. Food is phenomenal and the flavor is rich and delicious. Highly highly recommend. Would give 10 stars if possible.
