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
