As of date of posting the restaurant was only open for take out so we found a few tables by the side and ate there. It took a while for the food to be prepared, more than I had anticipated. However, the food was really good and we all enjoyed it, so well worth the wait. The naan was good sized. The entrees come with a large serving of rice. The paneer was soft and fresh. Overall, good meal.

I went for the buffet, and they offered a lovely selection of hot, fresh dishes. The naan was incredibly light and delicious.

The prices are very reasonable too. As a fan of Indian cuisine, I'm really happy to have this option nearby.

When I went to pick up my food I was advised that the tandoori chicken kabob I ordered is not apart of the deal. So I didn’t understand why it’s an option on the choices online then. I was told I had to “pick a curry”. My fiancé doesn’t eat curry. I asked if there was something similar to the tandoori chicken that I could choose instead that is apart of the deal and was told no. I was only allowed to pick from curries. I then offered to pay the difference so I could get what I actually ordered. I was charged $7 more so I could get the tandoori chicken. On top of the $27 I had already paid for the “family meal deal”. I will not be back.

I wish they had more vegetarian options on the menu.
