"Tried lunch here for the first time. Got a lamb saag and an eggplant dish. Both were wonderful. Great value to at under $10 per dish. Looking forward to going back for dinner."
"Ordered a mango chicken, received something that definitely isn’t that. Didn’t look, smell or taste like even a hint of mango. Also had cashew nuts in it, never had a mango chicken with them in it. Was told when I rung up that’s just how they make them. Very misleading item description. Also do not order the vege pakora they were inedible. Dry bits of batter with either no filling or big chucks of gross looking and tasting onion. “Fresh veges” in the description is a lie. Unfortunately the worst Indian food I have ever had and I’ve had a lot."
"We had chilly gobi from here and it's the worst item ever. It was very bland, hard and soaked in oil. We complained and the lady took it back replacing it with another item. This had been concluded then. But to our Surprise, they had charged us for it. And on asking about it, they got into a fight saying they're the best in the business and they cannot accept complaints. They kept repeating the same and the wait staff - which is their entire family got into denial and got into a big argument. It's the worst ever experience ever in terms of hospitality. Customer service and what not? Being a regular customer, I never expected to be treated this way. This is utter chaos where the chef came out and said he never received even one complaint in his entire 10+ years cooking experience. When you accept compliments! Why not accept complaints or criticism on the chin! No wonder why, on all the negative reviews of this restaurant - Customer service has been the talking point! Please read through. To exacerbate matters, when approached about the poor quality of the food, the restaurant staff hid behind their claim of being a small business in need of support. This manipulative tactic is an unjustifiable excuse to deliver subpar food and evade accountability. It is unfair to exploit the goodwill of customers who are seeking an enjoyable dining experience and expect quality food for their money. Disclaimer - Being an Indian, to an extent we faced indian discrimination too during the discussion/debate. So watch out guys if you have to have a discussion. I am never going back again!"
"Small hidden gem with delicious food and customer obsessed. Amazing service. We ordered Mysore masala dosa, Idli , butter paneer ( best paneer I had, looks like they make fresh Paneer) , lamb biryani cooked to perfection. Away from home during vacation this place gave us the comfort with delicious food. If you are a big group , take away would be better option."
