We live faraway, yet we can always safely choose this place for food. The service is very quick. We have always been surprised how quickly we got our appetizers or the main course. And it fresh and hot! We are picky eaters and understand if the food was just heated up; so it's impressive how they maintain the quality and the quick delivery. For the taste, we have found it very good. Different curries have the correct flavor unlike some places where all curries taste the same. The Dosa, chutney, sambar, chicken appetizers, curries, naan, indochinese noodles, all tasted good. We highly recommend it and find it a very reliable choice for a good Indian food in the suburbs.

I really enjoy Indian food, the vegan vegetarian options are always delightful... The tandoor service... It's a really clean and nice restaurant, with the usual Indian food restaurant vibes.

Ate so much food and it was all amazing. Samosas, papadom, shrimp curry, chicken biriyani and dessert was all amazing. We came as a big group and everyone loved everything. Would definitely come back! Highly recommended.

First of all, they have their own dedicated app for ordering which is so neat. The app runs smoothly and you accumulate points for orders. I didn't know but you get 10pt for just getting the app, but those points expired really quickly so I didn't get to use the points. My in laws had really good things to say about here coming from a South East Asian taste profile. So we ought to give here a try. Butter Chicken Masala-- this was very saucy and flavorful. The chicken is tender but is of white meat. Not too spicy but has a kick to it. Don't think my kids can eat this. Boneless Chicken Biryani-- this is what you'd expect, the rice is colorful and on the drier side but works well with sauce if you want to put sauce on. We used the butter chicken masala sauce with the Biryani. Perhaps it's a regional thing but I liked the versions from other places where they put raisins in it, I didn't see it here. The meat is so very tender, it makes me wonder if it's actually meat, since it has a paneer type of texture. I think it is, and it sure is very soft. Flavor is great. The two Naans, garlic butter and peshwari -- they are well made, soft and has chew, and tears easily. One has sesame on it, another has herbs. Sauces have a more savory profile. Maybe I'm associating Indian food with raisins but I was hoping the peshwari naan had raisins. It didn't. Green mango juice-- I didn't know what to expect, was hoping it's homemade, which it was! There's texture to it, so it's not entirely just liquid. It's not all sour, and has a sweet taste to it, but it also has a cumin and savory flavor that is equal if not more than the sweet/sour flavor. I'm not sure I like it... this is definitely an acquired taste. Overall, I think the food is still really great. I plan to try some other ones after doing some more research on what the dishes are. I wish they had more descriptions on the app ordering portal!

Everyone - we are lucky to have this authentic Indian restaurant. Do you know how hard it is to run a restaurant? As an immigrant? Please don't judge them in an overly harsh way! I'm not Indian American, but I have a huge appreciation for their food. Cluelessly, I came here twice with an Indian neighbor and then with an Indian coworker. Each time, it was fantastic! Granted, I have no idea what the dishes were called but I tried at least 6 things. They were so flavorful, especially for vegetarians (sadly I'm not). Service was fine both times. They're not overly chatty but immediately bring out bottled water and plates/silverware. The food came out quickly too. The prices are really fair. I've spent more at Starbucks than on dinner here.

3.5 Food - i usually get the mysore dosa and have tried other things, but definitely wouldn't say I have tasted the whole menu. But out of the things that I have tried, I will say the taste is not that bad, and the prices are fair. I have also noticed that the portion size of the sauces have gotten smaller (seen in pic). Ambience - they give you water bottles for water. And it's a very casual restaurant. family oriented vibes as well. Service - unfortunately I think this is the worst aspect of the restaurant. The service is pretty slow and not super welcoming. It took us a long time to get our water and even take our order. There's an app where u can collect points if u plan to frequent often.

I had this Indian restaurant today for lunch - the food here is awesome! Malai Kofta curry was delicious and can be made to your spice level - there is a ton of flavor and it comes with a bowl of rice. It's really filling as well, service is friendly and we also had the masala dosa - really good and filling as well. The pricing is also reasonable - I'd recommend trying this place if you're in the area and want Indian food.
