My daughter and I really enjoy Indian food, and after reading the online reviews decided to drive up from Holland to have lunch. The staff was very friendly. My daughter had the Butter Chicken and said it was her favorite of the places she’s had it from. We also order and appetizer, butter naan, and it had a dish I cant remember the name. I’m sorry about that, but it was very good. After eatingasmuch as we could my daughter said we are definitely coming back.

This was a cathartic experience.

I walk in—boom.

So many smells. I’m overwhelmed in the best way. In my daze I focus on an empty corner booth to my right. As I make my way over, I pass a couple praying, another couple on a date, and I catch snippets of borderline-taboo conversation from a nearby table. My first thought: the people-watching tonight is about to be a five out of five.

I sit, and the gentleman serving the dining area comes over immediately and greets me with, “My friend, how are you?”
We’ve never met. But clearly, we are friends now.

In a hushed tone, I share the first secret of this new friendship: it’s my first time eating Indian food. He smiles, and together we choose the safe options.

The order:
Buttered naan
Chicken tikka
White rice

Ten minutes later, I share the second secret—just as hushed as the first: “I like spice.”

Only then do I look around and realize that everyone already eating is coughing, wiping sweat from their foreheads, and occasionally taking a break to recover. Oh no, what have I done? Can I handle “spice” real spice. Their spice?

Life has taught me one thing: it gets more exciting when you ignore its little red flags. I’ve never backed down before, and I’m not starting now.
Too late for second thoughts—give me all the spice.

My plate arrives steaming—sizzling.
The naan? Perfection.
My friend places the rice down gently, then slides a small cup of spices across the table. “Your spices,” he says.

The rest goes by in a blur. My meal is soundtracked by waves of taboo conversation, the soft prayers from earlier, and a late-evening family debate where a young Indian woman tries to convince her parents to accept her boyfriend—who quietly stares at the table and eats.
The people-watching? A six out of five.

It felt like the entire world was represented in this one dining room—a collective thumbs-up from all cultures and walks of life.

Amazing food. Amazing service.
And to my new friend: I’ll see you soon.

It was wonderful to enjoy some authentic Sri Lankan dishes after a while. I tried the Egg Kottu, soya meat curry (vegetarian) and masala tea. It was flavorful and delicious! The atmosphere was inviting, the service was great, and the food was excellent! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for Sri Lankan food in the area.

Seriously good. We had the egg curry, and chicken tikka masala. Both were the best we have had anywhere in town.

Garlic naan was on point.

Good portion sizes. We took half home for later.

Buffet – It appears they no longer have it if you were looking for that info like we were before visiting.

Medium heat level was plenty hot for me. I can tolerate decent amount of heat but prefer 5/10. Asking for medium got me a 6/10 so pretty on par.

We will be back minimum once a month. Just wow.. cant believe I’ve gone this long without trying this place.

I saw the 4.9 review rating and decided to give it a try. SO glad that we did! Everything we tried was delicious. I got the Beef Curry and my girlfriend got Chicken tika masala .We also got the Garlic butter naan bread. The naan bread went great with both of our dishes. They didn’t have the Lassi I really wanted to try unfortunately , but other than that everything was awesome. 10/10 would recommend and we will be returning.

I have tried Indian food in many countries and a few here in the US… This is by FAR the best I have had. You won’t regret it. The naan is also out of this world. Enjoy!

Best place right here for really good Indian food. It’s ridiculously tasty. If you’re looking to try an authentic Indian cuisine, definitely keep this place in mind. I would suggest getting a lamb Curry at level four or five. If you don’t like spicy food, though, go with a one or two. You won’t be disappointed trying this place out. It’s completely worth the money, and the staff here are absolutely amazing. The food is all made fresh there. The chicken soup is also really tasty it had a nice ginger flavor to it but not too powerful. It blended well and made it an amazing soup to have eaten. I’ll definitely be going back again. P.s. They also have a buffet section. Unfortunately, I didn’t check the times, but it looked nice.

This was probably the best Indian food I’ve had and the best part is that it’s so affordable! Definitely worth the hype and 4.9 rating.

Went in person for lunch on a Sunday and thankfully it wasn’t too busy. The server we had was friendly and worked to set expectation about the pace of the service we’d receive i.e the food might take a while since it’s made fresh.

All the meals were well seasoned and we thoroughly enjoyed them. We had the Chicken Malai for appetizers, chicken tikka masala, and the beef Biryani. The chicken Malai was well flavored but I honestly could’ve done without it.

The tikka masala was delicious rich and flavorful. So so good! I was concerned with what I thought was a small serving dish but looks were deceiving because the tikka masala was more than enough. Ordered it with a level 8 spice level and it was the right kind of spicy- hot but not uncomfortable.

The biryani was decent. Didn’t particularly like the beef and it happened to be the most expensive Biryani. The beef tasted like..beef if you get what I mean and it didn’t get the flavors from the biryani. The pieces were also really fatty.

I ordered a chicken biryani to go and I enjoyed that a lot more. Also ordered their mango lassi and it was delicious! Their butter chicken is right up there with their Tikka Masala!

The naan was really good. Perfect mix between crispy and soft. I’d recommend ordering it to enjoy dining in as the takeout version didn’t deliver the same experience I had in person which is understandable.

Overall I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Indian food.

Authentic food prepared daily. A place where you’ll often be served by the same person that prepares your meal. This mom and pops style Indian / Srilankan cuisine restaurant is living out the American dream. I have absolutely loved everything I’ve had on the menu. Make sure to reserve a table on the busy nights to ensure you can enjoy the menu.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. We tried this restaurant based on the high rating and it did not disappoint. Started with the rasam soup and samosas. One sip of the rasam soup and knew we were in for an amazing meal. Food was amazing and service was great! We had veggie samosas, rasam soup, veggie korma+potato, chicken tikka masala, and butter naan. Rice was exceptional, as well. We would take the 90 min trip for the rasam soup alone. Also, the TV was playing a show of a woman chopping fruits and vegetables in a serene environment the entire time we were there, we need to what that show was, if anyone reads this and knows please comment here, it was hypnotizing.
