The place was empty, now I know why. 3 of us are here and had different dishes. All 3 weee devoid of the classic Indian flavor. It’s like they left the aromatics out and just cooked some meat in some tomato and threw in a little heat. On top of that, I ordered chicken but got lamb and the service was slow…
Wouldn’t recommend this place. Oh and it was ungawdly expensive ….

There were a large selection of food items. We had samosas and fried onion appetizers. The green sauce was excellent. I had a Tandori Platter with chicken and beef. Very flavorful. The garlic naan bread was also great

The staff were nice enough, but the food came out in pretty bad shape. They had much smaller servings than other similar restaurants at a higher cost. The naan came out burnt, under flavored, and not soft at all, the curry was extremely salty and overriding any other flavors and the service was very slow on a Saturday evening. Overall, I regret to have dined here.

COMPLETE RIPOFF!!
We had high expectations for this restaurant but left quite disappointed. Definitely won't recommend to anyone. We ordered the Tandoor Platter ($39) and Goat Karhai ($29), and neither lived up to the price or quality we anticipated.
The Tandoor Platter came with very small portions — definitely not shareable despite the name suggesting otherwise. The kebabs were dry, had one overpowering spice (not sure which), and were quite tiny in size. For a $39 platter meant for one person, we expected much better quality and balance of flavor.
The Goat Karhai was also underwhelming — too salty and included only four small pieces of meat.
For the prices charged, the portion sizes and quality felt far below expectations. I really hope the restaurant takes this feedback constructively and revisits both flavor balance and value for money.

Hands down best Indian/Pakistani food in the valley!
Never been disappointed with the food here. It takes a little while to come out but that's because it's being made from scratch; nothing better than food being prepped as it's ordered. The Curry is my favorite, I like to accompany it with the Chai, also made from scratch. Currently they are closed for lunch, but they're still open for dinner.
