“ Have eaten here 3 times now and its become a favorite neighborhood Indian restaurant. Food is deliciouswith good spice if you ask for itand prices very reasonable. Friendly service. Theres a good beer selection, always baseball in the TV. The only drawback is that the beer is quite pricey 6 for a half pour of anything on the menu. Otherwise perfect place! ”
“ This is some of the best butter chicken I have ever had! So rich and creamy and buttery, with lots of spices and that little sweet note at the end! The lamb Korma is also amazing, so tender, as is the paneer matar. Garlic naan is light and crisp, but not burnt. Rice is perfectly cooked. A culinary triumph in the back of a market, complete with random ATM machine and a mop bucket. Wow! I mean, this place needs to be on the map. You have to look for the little sign at the market front, as it doesnt have its own front. ”

“ One of my favorite Indian restaurants in the world no exaggeration. The lamb tikka is perfectly spiced and tender, my goto dish. The lamb tandoori is equally delightful, with a smoky, flavorful finish. Unique onion fritters make a perfect appetizer, and classics like chicken tikka masala are executed flawlessly. Authentic and satisfying flavors all around. ”
