I ordered veg tikka masala, assorted appetizers and naan and it was not good. I assume the veg tikka masala supposed to be sweet but it just straight up tangy like it was more a tomato based sauce than being creamy and sweet. The curry seemed like they just straight up tossed the raw vegetables in the sauce and served it. While I checked the samosa, they were pretty small size than normal. The naan looked appealing but they were not soft enough.

Would've given zero stars if possible. Came in right when they opened at 4:30 for a birthday dinner with a party of 5 with no one else in the restaurant area. We were seated and the hostess we had brought us water but barely spoke to us. After she brought the water we waited for about 15-20 minutes for someone to come take our order. People were coming in to get DoorDash orders and were serviced quickly but no one came to take our order. Instead, the manager was standing around talking to some other patrons at the bar, and our “hostess” was also sitting around talking to other people while staring at our table, still not taking our order. We eventually got up to leave and were just stared at as we were walking out and the hostess didn't say anything about us leaving or even try to explain that she would be right with us. Also, the utensils were filthy with a hard substance caked up on the forks. I was excited to try this place but unfortunately, I won't be returning. First impressions are everything and we weren't made to feel welcome or comfortable at all.

One of the BEST restaurants in our area. I wish I could eat here more often. I have been here many times for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Gotten takeout. Had delivery. All spectacular. If you get a chance, talk with the owner; he's a nice gentleman.

They are amazing.
The only complaint I have is that when you come in to eat, the portion size is massive, but when you order for pickup its "snack size" and the cost is the same and their payment system wont let you enter card information for pickup orders without selecting a tip.

I ordered Lamb Vindaloo, when I got home I found out I was given another order of Chicken Tikka Masala instead. Also I placed an order for pickup, and when i got there I guess the manager just fired the cook and was back in the kitchen cooking so all orders were pushed 30 minute late….I don’t even know what to say to that…I guess life happens.
The Naan bread was amazing….only positive experience with this $90 order
