"Really good place! The service was fast and the food came out piping hot! Really tasty dishes too. Full of complex spices and well developed flavor! The service was friendly and efficient. The decor was very pretty! Also it smells so good in there, I want a candle that smells like this restaurant!"

"I've been coming here for years and just realized I haven't reviewed the pace lol After having authentic homemade Indian food in my early 20s (amazing experience) I scoured my city for anything close and was disappointed time and time again till I found this place. The food is amazing and the staff (the one guy that's always been there... I think he's the owner?) has always been super friendly. Back when I first discovered this place, he went through the menu with me as I tried to remember the ingredients of my favorite dishes because I didn't know the names anymore lol When I showed my (now ex) husband, who never tried the deliciousness of Indian food, he went over his menu again to find something my ex would like lol I can't praise this place enough and even though I've moved out of the area, when the cravings hit, the drive is done. Love this place!"

"The food was good but the atmosphere was not.There was no music playing except for some political news on the radio. It was very loud in the building, maybe from a neighbor, but there was nothing to cover up the sounds. There was also very bright fluorescent lighting even for dinner. The service was okay. I would recommend for takeout but not dine in. It didn’t seem like they wanted dine in customers."

"Staff were short/ unwelcoming on our visit. Chicken tikka lacked creaminess and punch but naan was good and crispy. The place and tableware could use a good deep clean. It could help with their “OK” Tacoma-Pierce health inspection rating. Not a fan."

"Best hole in the wall Indian Restaurant! Nothing fancy here but I don’t mind because the food and the service is outstanding! The owner is so very nice and the food is made fresh and it tastes fresh. It’s not fast food. It’s nice and quiet and clean. I don’t get the complaints. I watched them thoroughly clean tables. I love this restaurant and will return again!!"
