Testimonials

On 7/20/2026 Stacy E. had this to say:
I took my husband here for his birthday. We've been many times, usually on special occasions for some reason. It's a nice casual place, very cozy. They have Thali lunch specials right now, which was really exciting. I've always wanted to try it but doesn't seem worth dinner prices if I can't finish it. Highly recommend! Everything was fantastic. I've had the chicken tikka masala, chicken korma, vegetarian samosas, and biryani are all great as well.

On 5/25/2026 Sally S. had this to say:
Our favorite for many years, dining in and catering! Nice interior, excellent food and service. Today 5/25/26 we had Samosa chaat, Non-vegetarian thali, Chicken Tikka masala, plain naan and keema naan. All so very delicious!

On 5/16/2026 Miranda F. had this to say:
Was sick on my birthday this year, and have never tried Indian food outside of my pre-packaged goods or kitchen, and golly it was an amazing experience. I got the paneer kadai, if you like vegetarian options and tomato-based foods, this is it. It came with 2-3 days worth of food (kadai, rice, naan). I also got the vegetarian appetizer platter, which both me and my boyfriend demolished instantly (who knew veggies and cheese could taste so darn good). Anyways, take out was great, and I cannot stop thinking about it. Worth the price.

On 2/24/2026 Amanda W. had this to say:
