I tried vijayawada chicken biryani, it was absolutely delicious full of authentic flavors and perfectly spiced. The service was warm and attentive, and the staff made us feel very welcome. I definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves good Indian food!

I honestly used to really like this place. We would get delivery from them fairly consistently. I would still recommend their spicy masala fried rice from their other locations.
I'm not sure if it is staff changeover or location leadership, but food has been wildly inconsistent. On my last order, I received the wok tossed friend rice instead of spicy masala I ordered, which wouldn't be too bad on it's own, but it was the missing chicken I order too (you pay extra for meat). Clearly we got someone else's order. My partner got his Tikka masala, but it was very citrusy. Tasted nothing like it should. Very disappointed.

Horrible experience - go to turmeric instead. I ordered through uber eats. Said or would be ready by 7. Came in and they said it would be 5 minutes and asked for name. After 5 minutes they gave me someone else’s order. Then asked mt name again then 15 minutes later said it would be another 20 minutes so I left and came back. Then I asked if my order was ready after 10 minutes of no one coming to the front. The guy then said there was no order under my name after he told me my order would be ready in x amount of time several times. Then I showed him my uber app again and he said he gave my order to someone else and I would need to call uber. I proceed to argue telling him that he should’ve checked the app before giving it out to where he said it would take another 30 minutes. I told him it needed to be the first order done as an hour and a half since I ordered and the ready time originally was 20 minutes. He said he can’t do that and it would be behind the orders in front of me now. So I told him to cancel the order and left since they wasted an hour and half almost 2 hours with no food. Horrible service do not recommend, much better Indian food at other restaurants.
