"Came here to have some amazing Indian food. And that we did. As soon as we walked in we thought to sit on patio (kids inside) but were advised to sit inside due to cold air so we obliged. Service was amazing. Not too much not too little. Food was delicious and spice level accurate and fair. Portions are literally perfect. Every restaurant in The world should serve these size portions. We ate everything as anyone should every time dining out. As we were there around late dinner time the place was not too busy and had plenty of pick up meals. Letting us know it’s good. We both had chicken dishes. Very good. Try the paneer pakora. Recommend this spot!"

"Great place for North Indian food. Loved all the curries and Naan. Bindi masala was excellent. Ambience is too good."

"This was about my 5th time coming here and I feel I have enough experience to right a review. I must say the food is absolutely amazing it's a simple menu with nothing out of its place. Super saucy, great flavor and just overall awesome! I enjoy the dishes they use to serve, too, nice touch. I have had all of the lamb curries, momos, naan, the pastry apetizers and of course the Chicken Tikka Masala. All pretty good, especially the naan (can't go wrong with delicious bread) but the spice levels vary on the curry for sure. Tikka? Totally rock a 6. The Takari? 4 is plenty thank you. Definetly worth a visit for the food. The service is where it lacks. Out of the 5 times, 2 were rough experiences, 1 was great and 2 were mediocre. Some servers don't write the order down and have messed up the order a couple times and were just not the best people to interact with. Not to mention one of the experiences I had the server did not seem "fully aware" and even said he wouldn't place the order a friend requested for whatever reason and argued with him about it until he complied. That was a one-off experience, however, and to me the food is worth coming back. Also, I've had good interactions, too, more than not. I recommend trying it out, love it and will come back often myself. - $60 for two - parking is average - food is amazing - service is better more often than not"

"First and foremost the price is decent, the portions could do better. I do agree that the curries were a tad bit sweet, but missing a few ingredients to give it that kick, the pakora was tasty. Wish there was more. The chicken butter Masala was very buttery and the chicken vindaloo was too sweet, wish they had more meat then sauce. The herbal Naan was so heavenly it fused and melted in your mouth with the savory and herbal mixture melting on your pallete. The service was great. Our server was nice and ensured we were well taken care of. If you are in yhe area I would recommend coming to five them a Try the aesthetic is very appealing"

"I visited in September 2022 and then the food was awesome. Visited in Feb 2023 and the quality has gone way down. I am not sure the reason. May be they changed the cooks. Will not be coming here again. I tried palak paneer ( it was less green and more brown) and lamb korma. Both had too much sweet in them."
