"Went for my birthday today. If I had money I would go once a week. The food is great. I love Indian food and all the vegetarian, chicken and lamb were superb. My son lived his lamb and i had a hard time picking a favorite. Flavors are impeccable. Best samosas ever and stellar mango lassie. The rice had very generous saffron, and the garlic and cheese Naan were big hits. You can't go wrong because it is all delicious. Rita and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and kind. I got birthday Spicy Chana Masala as a gift from Rita whose graciousness was noted and appreciated. I give them my highest rating because I love, love, lived it.Vegetarian options: Plenty of options all are delicious. Per...

We didn’t receive one of our takeout dishes, and when we called to resolve it staff was very rude and argued with us on the phone for a full 10 minutes saying they put the dish in the bag and refusing a refund. Owner even called back after we’d resolved just to have the final word and hang up on us again. One of the most surreal experiences I’ve ever had and left us all feeling gaslit- I’ve never had a restaurant do that before

The food wasn't great. It was just okay. Too rich gravies upset our stomachs later on.Service was really fast after they took our order but they took forever to come and take the order in the first place.No restrooms allowed! Like really?!We ordered two appetizers chana puri and bhel puri, they were good. Vegetable koftas were good but again the rich gravy. : Chana masala was good. The other two non-vegetarian dishes were just okay.Will I visit them again? No. They are very pricey when compared to the quality of food.
