We were at this restaurant for lunch on weekends. A decent restaurant, run by a family. We had Chaats, Naans, Paneer Curries and Rice. Taste is good. But the price is exorbitant compared to other Indian restaurants in Des Moines. And for this price, the portion size is really very small. A main course curry would not be sufficient for 2 people.

Nestled in a bustling area of Des Moines, this family-run Indian restaurant offers a mix of flavors that many patrons find enticing. While dishes like Chaat, Paneer Curries, and Chicken Korma deliver satisfying tastes, patrons express concern over portion sizes and pricing—particularly during lunch. The ambiance is casual, complemented by courteous staff eager to accommodate special requests. Despite some mixed reviews on the signature Chicken Tikka Masala, the sincere service and fresh preparations shine through. For those seeking authentic Indian cuisine, this spot may warrant a visit, albeit with caution regarding meal pricing and portions.

Great food. Warm, friendly service. The chicken makhani was really amazing. My only criticism is that it is relatively far from Des Moines.
