Favorite spot for the last four years will continue to come back. Service staff is always friendly, kitchen is always on point, and they’ve remained consistent. They’ve made some upgrades throughout the year. Always shocked they’re not packed with dine in customers.

My friends and I each got a thali platter so that we could try a little bit of everything. We each tried a different chicken option, and all got a different spice level.
The standouts for me were the chicken korma, vindaloo, and saag. The hot spice level was perfect for the vindaloo and curry. The korma was mild and tasted wonderful. Every single thing on the platter was excellent, down to the rice!
The mint chutney surprised me at how bright and refreshing it was. It truly added so much to each bite!
If you visit with friends, get a platter and share! If you’re here visiting alone, get the korma and kheer for dessert. Fantastic food, beautiful restaurant, and kind servers!

Came here for the Sunday brunch buffet and we were not disappointed, all the samosas you can eat, butter chicken, paneer chicken, goat, all hot, fresh and delicious. Definitely a better buffet than clove, employees were nice and friendly and the atmosphere was very chill.

These dishes were excellent, albeit a 30 minutes wait with only several tables occupied and some to go pickups. Prices are high but they do offer weekends buffet at a better value.

The ambience reminds me of a top quality spa. The music is soothing, creating a calm and enjoyable dining experience. The staff are warm and friendly! And the food is top quality; they even have Indian street food — an absolute palate delight!
10/10. This will be my go-to Indian restaurant.

Pretty sure they let me in before they even really opened. Medium Saag paneer was great but could be spicier – they probably, understandably thought I couldnt take it but I’ll probably order hot next time. Highly recommended.

Let me introduce you to your new best friend: thali lunch!
I got channa and punjabi khadji. But look at all the other stuff it comes with!! Kheer, mango lassi, dal, rice, two delicious pieces of naan, and veggie pakora. Super good and basically a full sampler of delicious Indian dishes!

Came here hoping to have some really well made Indian food and this place did not disappoint!! The food was all exceedingly well made and delicious. The staff were always friendly and keeping glasses full. But beyond any of that, THE BREADS. They have every variety of Indian bread you could want, and an incredibly mean Onion Kulcha. Would recommend this place to anyone that loves Indian food and needs a great place to go.
