Description

A neighborhood favorite with a vintage, spacious dining room, this Indian restaurant shines with buttery classics, fragrant biryanis and a varied bread basket, plus standout dishes like lamb curry, cauliflower fritters and prawns. Portions are generous and delivery/takeout are reliable, but quality and service can be inconsistent — some guests praise attentive staff while others report mixed cooking and slow or disorganized service. The menu offers many vegetarian and dairy-free options if you communicate requests, though it is not a strictly vegan spot. Overall, worth a try for flavorful, hearty meals.

I enjoyed the food. There are definitely vegan options, and many of these dishes can be prepared without dairy products. However, this is not a vegan restaurant and you need to communicate very clearly what you want.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious! You won't be disappointed. We came for lunch on Monday and unfortunately, the business seemed slow – we were the only ones there. Surprisingly, the service in the dining room was not very speedy, but we weren't in a rush (the kitchen was quick). The Shahi korma had a subtly sweet flavor and the lamb korma was nutty and creamy, though I wish the lamb had been more tender. The aroma of the freshly made Naan bread was divine – I wanted to wrap myself up in it like a blanket. The portions were very generous (the bowls in my photos were quite deep). The herb-filled samosas had a nice kick – the pastry was crispy and flaky while the filling was moist. I also appreciated the unique decor, although it seemed a bit worn-down. The bathroom definitely needs updating. Despite these small issues, I would still return. I hope this restaurant can survive the pandemic, as the food is truly fantastic.

The Indian food at this restaurant is truly excellent! We ordered the Goat Ghana Masala and Lamb Vindaoo, along with garlic naan. All of the dishes were delicious. The Vindaloo had the perfect level of spice - not overwhelmingly hot, but just right. The flavors were amazing! I am looking forward to returning to this restaurant soon.

Very courteous and receptive staff. Good food. Reasonable portions. Went on a week day. So, the place was not crowded. Food was served without a long wait. Slightly on the pricey side. Will visit again. Vegetarian options: Menu has several options for vegetarians. They prepare the food spicy or mild to your taste.
