    Amazing flavors!We got aloo tikki chaat which was tangy and spicy just right. For mains, butter chicken and lamb karahi, both were outstanding. Ended with kheer which was creamy and not too sweet. Staff was attentive and checked on us. Great spot.

    First time trying this place and wow,impressed. Their mango lassi was so refreshing. Ordered chicken tikka masala and daal makhni, both were incredible with laccha paratha. Even simple garden raita was tasty. Can't wait to explore more of their menu.

    Best Indian food I've had in a long time!Chicken biryani was fragrant and packed with taste. My wife had paneer tikka masala and she loved it. Finished with gulab jamun which was warm and sweet. Portions are generous, left feeling so full and happy.

    Came here for dinner with friends and everything was spot on.Lamb rogan josh had such rich flavor, just like how my friend from Kashmir makes it. Samosa chaat as a starter was perfect. Place has a nice vibe, not too fancy but comfortable. Really happy with our meal.

    I’ve never had Indian food before and came an hour here to try it for the first time. It was amazing. My husband and I both left beyond full and have leftovers. The service was great, when I didn’t know what something was they’d explain what was in it and how it would taste, and when I got my food I wanted it a bit spicier and they were more than happy to take it back and spice it up a bit more. 10/10 for food, service and atmosphere
