    A delicately spiced excellently prepared Indian meal. Unusually in the area the half tandoori chicken was freshly cooked in a genuine tandoor oven...absolutely delicious. Onion bhaji, also not common around here was great, as was the baingan bhata. Definitely worth a visit

    It was a beautiful evening with my family. It's not the first time we eat at the restaurant, but I can say that every time I go they always surprise us with fantastic changes and beautiful dishes. Always clean, I LOVE the service.

    The Chicken 65 to start was amazing and everything else was very good as well. Fast service and reasonably priced for what it is.

    Host allowed us to choose our table. First positive thing . Waiter who took our order was so nice and cool. Food was delicious. And presentation was amazing. Small but cozy restaurant we came all the way from North bay and it didn’t disappoint us at all. Closest best Indian restaurant to Half bay moon ..

    great food, though definitely on the expensive side (we came here for team lunch). Lots of veg options (except for the biryani, which is… unfortunate), the lamb IS HALAL (!), That roomali roti was huge and so tasty with everything, and my favorite  gravy would probably be the one that came with the koftas! We had kulfi for desert, which was delicious. I apologize for my highly unaesthetic photos - it was so funny trying to get these pics in front of my poor unsuspecting coworkers.
