Amazing food, amazing service. Felt like I was eating back home. You won't regret. Come with friends & family. Owner is very nice. Also good music. I would give a 7 stars if I had a choice.
I recently dined here & had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, with friendly staff who made sure we were well taken care of. The menu offered a great variety of dishes, & everything we ordered was delicious & beautifully presented. I especially loved white chicken. It's a great spot for a relaxed meal with family or friends. Highly recommend!
After seeing all these 5 star's reviews i tought okay i'll go ahead & add in my honest review. I wanted to place an order on Uber eats I had promos of 2 for one for the Biyani & Chiken tikka masala which i tought was more of a saucy sauce that goes with naans. I ordered 3 naans with it & a box of Biyani rice. Called the restaurant & we agreed on a pick up at store with the same price as Uber & a rebate of 20% in the food. Without getting the 2-1 peomo in store. I paid 90$ for a small box of biryani 3 rolls which were around 15-18$ dollars each & made with home rotis 3 naans & ended up finding out that the chiken tika masala as shown on the uber eats app wasn't a saucy meal but 6 dried pieces of chiken. For which we got the naans. We got food for 4 people none of us ended up getting full for 90$ meal that's quite of a waste. Once our food arrived we were all superrrr disappointed. I have to give points for the service it was good they gave us complimentary mango lassi's but overall i wouldn't order again from there.
I just heard about this place opening up & was really excited about the great reviews online! I went in for dine-in & ordered the white chicken karahi, garlic naan, & the chicken tikka platter. Everything was delicious. The service was amazing. The owners were really passionate about their restaurant & went above & beyond to provide us with amazing & friendly service. Will definitely be returning to try everything else on the menu! Highly recommend!
The food was very tasty as I enjoy the chicken tikka masala. Overall other dishes we order & the staff was were good as compare to other indian restaurant. Me & my friends enjoy a lot. I recommend to visit here

I had the pleasure of dropping in to pickup lunch for take-out today. I ordered the chicken samosas, butter chicken, rice & naans. To start the samosas were generous, crispy & a little spicy. The raita they serve with them helped to tame the spicieness. The butter chicken was really tasty with generous tender pieces of chicken & great sauce. The naans both regular & garlic were thw best i had, perfect for mopping up the sauce from the butter chicken. They were large, fluffy & parts crunchy. Great combination. The bazmati rice tied it all together. Although i ordered take-out when i entered i was surprised of the elegant & cozy dinning room. It would definetly make dining in a beautiful experience. I will definetly return to try more of their menu items.
Excellent service, the food & atmosphere were amazing!!! Best naan I have had so far. We will definitely come back soon to have some more of their delicious food! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nicest people ever took care of us & the food smelled, looked & tasted incredible. Perfect level of spice & the chicken tikka in particular was melt in your mouth perfection. Best Naan I've ever had as well. Can't wait to come back!
The restaurant has a very warm family atmosphere. We had lamb & chickpeas with bread. The chickpeas were cooked perfectly & all the food was good, but the way they cooked those chickpeas was amazing.
