Had a wonderful experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious-full of authentic flavors & perfectly prepared. What really made our visit special, though, was the exceptional service. Anu, our waitress, was incredibly helpful, attentive, & warm throughout the meal. She made great recommendations & ensured everything was just right. Her friendly attitude truly elevated our dining experience. Highly recommend this place, & a big thank you to Anu for making our visit so enjoyable!
The best part Brian food I've had in a long time. Modern decor, nothing fancy but the food is very very very good. The naan bread was perfect & fluffy. The aloo Gobi was a good texture, The paneer butter masala was delicious. The samosas were very flavourful & not greasy. Washed it down with a mango lassi that was very refreshing. I want to go back & try all their dishes.
It took a long time for the food to arrive but the biggest disappointment was definitely the crunchy undercooked chickpeas in the Chana masala. Not impressed
The food was delicious, we took the butter chicken & chicken fried rice & it was awesome. The staff was also super friendly & the ambiance was cozy & nice, definitely recommend!
Loved everything about this place! The food was top-notch - tasty, fresh, & perfectly cooked. The service was super friendly & fast. Great atmosphere too. Can't wait to visit again!
