    Heard about this place from an acquaintance, went to check it out. Got some haleem, owners are from Hyderabad, they just took over the place. It truly is Hyderabadi flavors. I am fasting so have not tried it yet, but my parents tried it and said it was delicious. Want to try authentic. Hyderabadi food visit them, they have many other Hyderabadi delicacies. And they have weekend ramdan buffet as well, so maybe stop by and check them out. Will definitely go back again, insha allah. Maybe after ramdan. And the owners are very kind, and helpful. And the food is halal, alhamdullilah.

    I have been a loyal customer of Happy’s and while service and ambiance was average, he had the Best Chicken Tikka Masala Sauce!! The Chicken Tikka Masala was savory and not sweet like most Indian restaurants. I visited tonight for the first time under the new management and while they said they used same recipes, they do not!! While it somewhat tasted the same, it now has a sweet after taste. Less chicken and sauce was not as thick. Please follow Happy’s recipe and remove the sweetness to the chicken tikka masala!! It was soo unique. I may have to find another place that has no sweetness to the sauce. Happy, if you see this, send me the recipe! Erik

    Absolutely delicious. I had the Andhra curry with goat and hot seasoning. Perfect, tender goat with an excellent spice level. My friend got the chicken jalfrezi which was also delicious, along with garlic naan and samosa. Delicious, I went here a few years back the the food is just as good if not better now.

    The food is extraordinary at every visit. Yummy and reliable. They primarily specialize in Northern Indian cuisine; their Indian Cuisine diversity range from various regional traditions with some South Asian delicacies. Just about everything tried is imitable and totally enjoyable. Close to fabulous. We offer praise to Chef Sudhir Seth and owner Sukhwinder Singh for extending patrons such an exquisite, delicious and consistent repartee. Passage to India’s use of the traditional ingredients such as garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and cardamom, are exquisitely combined to create extraordinary traditional preparations. Their Naan is perfect. Delicious on its own. They offer choices such as plain, buttered, roti and more! On one of our visits, we had the vegetable Samosas (I don’t think any other Indian resto can match these), we also enjoyed some regular plain Naan and the buttered Naan - superb. For our main courses, I went for the Lamb Andhra Curry. I must say that mutton was tender, tasty and excellent. Their perfect doses of Turmeric, Red Chili and Kopra were as close to perfect as I’ve tasted. Not to mention the ideal amount of Dhania (coriander)! My wife did the Tandoori Chicken Makhn which was also brilliant. Its perfect combinations of yogurt, spices and herbs made this creamy delicacy almost perfect – not to mention just the right amount of cashews in the mix. Yes I know there are a gazillion Indian restos in the Valley. Even so, this one is unique and comfortable as well as tasty. Give them a try, we’re coming back soon for my Wife’s birthday! अपने भोजन का आनंद लिजिये
