food os deliciou.. we have ordered chicken 555 , shrimp biryani and boneless shrimp is like so yummy.
Came in for dinner and the service was incredible. The waiter explained everything and helped me pick the perfect dish. Everything was delicious and served family style so I was able to share with my husband. Large amount of food for the price. Make sure you bring cash to give your server a generous tip. The card app that they use doesn't have an option to tip.
Great buffet of south Indian cuisine! Friendly staff, good amount of seating available. Chai and lassi on buffet. Many veg and non veg dishes. Everything very fresh. Dessert was very good I loved it DH and DD not so much. Fair price pp. In a strip mall setting Gladly give 5 star rating. Definitely would go back and the takeout is great too
This is literally the best Indian food I've had outside of Mumbai. Most Highly Recommend their chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Unfortunately they permanently cancelled their weekday buffet when covid ruined everything, but you can still experiment trying amazing new things on weekends. If you aren't used to intense spice, start with MILD dishes as I found medium spice too much for my delicate tummy.
My family and I came here on Valentines Day and had a lovely meal. Perhaps the lower ratings that this place has received has to do with the food quality for take out but I can honestly say, if you dine in, the food will be just right. We ordered a variety: garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, basmati rice, chicken wings (from the kids menu), and my husband had a curry dish that I can't recall the name of. When the food got to our table it became very quiet-even my 10 year old who usually talks non-stop was quiet because he was enjoying his food so much. I like that when we ordered the server asked us what level of spice we prefer which is very important for those of us who don't eat Indian food often. I got my chicken tikka medium and my husband got his curry dish very spicy. The food was cooked to perfection and it's perhaps the best garlic naan I've ever had. I like that the portion sizes were large. We left stuffed and we still were able to take home boxes of food for the next day. Btw it was still delicious warmed up the next day. Show this little hidden gem next time you're hungry, have time to eat in and are on Kirkwood Avenue! Sorry that there aren't pictures of the naan and curry dish but they were gone pretty quickly!
The food was absolutely delicious and well presented. The service was friendly and the interior was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this spot to everyone. It's way better than any Indian food I have ever had. Did not disappoint!
what a cute spot! It's in a strip mall off the side of a relatively busy road and this place was busy for post 9PM! 5/5 on the quick service and friendliness of the staff. I was in the area for work and was looking for an authentic spot I could go too for Indian food and this place did not miss the mark. The portion sizes are appropriate, but if you are looking to leave this place with leftovers, you most likely will not. The texture and flavor of the creamy sauce of the butter chicken was so good, it had my tastebuds singing!
