uncle ji was very sweet! team seemed to be good as well, Not much interaction but they’re definitely great cooks :))
With its own entrance to the parking lot, it offers plenty of banquet seating suitable for parties of four. I dined there for lunch on a Monday, and it was particularly sparse, save for the property developers to my left who eagerly debated the merits of razing the former Sunnyside across the street, long shuttered after the floods of 2022.
The lunch menu is limited to four choices, though full menu options are available. Butter chicken, chana masala, dahl makhani, and a butter chicken bowl with salad range from $8.99 to $12.99.
Counter service was as warm as the tandoor oven that surrounded the chef, who dutifully tended to the naan—not often found in shopping mall food courts, let alone many standalone Indian establishments. Nothing is more disappointing when ordering Indian than seeing that sad Costco flatbread arrive at your table, an unwanted dinner guest and an even more unwanted accompaniment to your meal.
I’ve always been a fan of dahl makhani. I’ve had some good ones and even more bad ones. Looking at this recipe on paper, it may seem utterly simple, but the simplicity ends there. The name translates to “buttery lentil,” and the dish they serve is truly in line with the brief. Makhani makes theirs with black lentils, though I’ve had it with red kidney beans and prefer the latter. Traditionally served at special occasions, a Monday at the mall while meeting with my boy’s orthodontist tends to be a far more expensive experience.
Slow-cooked, the starches were clearly released over a long simmer—the luscious creaminess emerging like a butterfly from a cocoon. Topped with ghee, every bite was a party I gladly accepted an invitation to. The cumin, ginger, and garam masala were clearly high quality and added complex layers to the dish. The serving is small, but the quality eclipses the portion size, though it’s not long before you’re left wanting more.
The pleasure doesn’t end there, however, as the naan had been teasing the air with its aroma. The naan was ethereal—pillowy char mountains from the heat of the tandoor rising like the sun on an early spring morning. Each piece tore delightfully as it dove into the pool of its next-door neighbor; both now realized they had more in common than they ever thought and were always destined to be best friends. Bathed in ghee, one must forget that this is an experience seldom found in shopping malls, let alone the kitchens of Delhi.
Though inspired by traditional lentil dishes, the modern version is credited to Kundan Lal Gujral, founder of the Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi, in the mid-20th century. He also reportedly invented butter chicken. For $17 with a Diet Coke, it seems like a crime—but one I’d gladly go to jail for.
The staff is really friendly . And service is great. Highly recommend it. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
