    This place is phenomenal. Coming from a non-native Indian person, the menu was easy to read. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. I just love this place and I will definitely be back. The food was also very fresh!!!

    New to the area and found this place from reviews and would agree the food is great and service was excellent. My fiance doesn’t eat spicy so when the dish she chose was above her level, the staff offered to recook it but we just asked for some yogurt and that made the difference. My chicken vindaloo was tangy and very flavorful with a moderate spice. I would recommend for sure.

    I am here to tell you this is one of the top restaurants on my list of best Indian restaurants to eat at! The perfect butter chicken here strikes a balance between the tanginess of the tomatoes and the creaminess of the sauce, with just the right amount of spices to enhance the overall flavor without overpowering the dish. The chicken here is bone in as well as tender and well-marinated, absorbing the flavors of the sauce while retaining its juiciness. It’s served with fragrant basmati rice but I added the freshly baked butter garlic naan bread, WHAT A COMBO! I still am dreaming of it and wanna get it everyday! I also got the chicken tikka masala which you can’t ever go wrong with! I am not sure how they do it but their gravy is absolutely PERFECT! You know I was dunking my naan bread in there If you haven’t got your mouth watering yet...they also have this fantastic goat dum biryani it is a traditional Indian rice dish where succulent pieces of goat meat are marinated in a blend of spices and yogurt, then layered with fragrant, long-grain basmati rice. The dish is typically prepared using the “dum” cooking method, which involves sealing the pot with dough or cloth to trap the steam. This slow-cooking process allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a rich and indulgent biryani and let me tell you, they do it just AMAZING! As the owners already know, I’LL BE BACK!
