Lovely food, lovely service! Everything was served fresh and was brought quickly! Naan was hot out the oven. Everyone was super friendly. Also the music is banging - I used Shazam so many times to add to my playlist. Wonderful experience!

This is a wonderful new addition to the neighborhood! I don’t usually have Indian food, but wanted to experience it and was pleasantly surprised.. cheerful atmosphere with walls painted in bright colors, very clean with well accented tchotchkes and flowers.. food was excellent and not too greasy.. Very accommodating wait staff. Recommended.

I went here with my uncle and aunt for the first time. The owner and staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was made fresh and tasted delicious. The owner cared about the experience rather than money. He refused to take more tips and asked us to come back. He said he feels happy when someone eats and is fully satisfied.

Absolutely phenomenal experience! This restaurant blew us away from the moment we walked in. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of traditional charm and modern comfort. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor — the butter chicken was rich and creamy, the biryani perfectly spiced, and the garlic naan? Unreal. The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the staff takes pride in both the food and the overall guest experience. Whether you’re a longtime lover of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. Five stars aren’t enough — we’ll definitely be back!

Wow. The owner served us like we were part of her family. Gave some great recommendations. The dosa special was huge and really good. The butter chicken was also out of this world. Definitely recommend !

I had such a fantastic experience at this restaurant that I just had to share! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family. The owner, Manny, is one of the nicest people you’ll meet—genuine, friendly, and clearly passionate about his food and customers. We ended up having a great conversation with him that made the meal even more special. As for the food? Incredible. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Mixed Grill and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. My son had a yogurt dish that he literally slurped down in no time, which is high praise coming from a picky eater! And the samosas? Hands down the best I’ve ever had—crispy on the outside, bursting with flavor inside. Amazing service, mouthwatering food, and a kind-hearted owner who makes you feel right at home. Can’t wait to go back!

The food is SO GOOD. Scents and flavors were perfect. I bought one of the spiciest goat dishes on the menu and it wasn't hellfire, flavors still came across wonderfully. The thicc Mango Lasse helped with any overwhelming heat, but it never got that bad. The prices were average for the genre, and the quality & portions were amazing. The dosa are comically large with a really nice crisp.
