What our guests are saying
My first time ever trying chicken karathi and the flavors did NOT disappoint! Chicken portions were very generous and cooked to perfection. The spices were also balanced very well. I enjoyed the appetizer with the flatbread and various chutneys. The naan was also divine. Service was fast and friendly. I will be back to try the other dishes for sure!

The service was awesome. We were seated immediately and the waitress was very attentive. We got the the chicken tikka, tandoori shrimp, and a green paneer(forgot name) and cheese naan. Everything was great and really authentic tasting. No long wait and the seating was very comfy. They also use very cute utensils/plates. Will definitely be coming back. The food and service is definitely worth coming back for.

Food is amazingly delicious. Just the right amount served. Service is impressive. Staff are polite and attentive. Have to try the ones they recommend from the menu. Space is small but cozy, clean tables and surroundings, good ambiance. Place gets packed with customers picking up orders. Even when busy, place stays calm and orderly. Well managed business. Highly recommend. Only place we would go for Indian Cuisine.
