      This place is very unassuming. The decor is nice and clean and the restaurant looks on par for the local community.

      The food completely blew me away. This is the best Indian food I've had in a long time and I'm shocked to see a restaurant with this amazing quality of food in the area. The service was exceptional and the owner was wonderful in giving me the history of their many vegan/vegetarian options on the menu. There are many options for dietary restrictions.

      We will be back often. I am thankful to have this wonderful restaurant in the community and I highly recommend. The whole experience felt like a warm hug.

      Solid indian food here! They appear to specialize in take-out, but also have a buffet, which I heard is very good.


      GLOWS:
      They have all of the traditional indian staples.

      Even with a few flaws, everything I ordered was tasty and seasoned very well.


      GROWS:
      The aloo tikki ais essentially smaller samosas covered in sauce. I'm used to a potato patty.

      The meat in the tandoori chicken is cut into small pieces with a lot of bones. It has not always been like this, so the portion sizes are getting smaller.

      My husband, 3 year old son, and I went here for dinner. We were seated and served water. Another couple were seated after us. Immediately the only waitress went over to them and took their drink and appetizer order while we just sat there awaiting service. The owner then went over to the couple as well. As he turned to leave, he noticed us sitting there and asked if we were ok. I proceeded to let him know that the waitress chose to serve the couple that arrived after us. He said I'll take care of you. No apology, no explanation, nothing! We got up and left
      I refuse to be treated like a 2nd class citizen when food is expensive. I won't spend my money where its not appreciated! Worst experience ever!

      The food is decent. But today I have a bad experience with the owner, and is not my fault that the restaurant don't have a good system for pick up orders. So I really not going or ordered anything from this place!

      Solid Indian food. My friend and I shared the Saag paneer (very tasty), vegetable vindaloo (a bit spicy/hot even for me which is rare but good flavor and the leftovers worked great in scrambled eggs the next day), samosas (basic but good with the chutney), chapati, and mint paratha. Service was attentive. Coming from Northern California in an area with a lot of Indian restaurants I did not expect much and was pleasantly surprised.

      Muskan was an AMAZING PLEASURE to have as a server. We had explained we had never been there. She asked us a a few questions. Based on our replies we all got something we all loved and enjoyed. The vegetable appetizer was also a big hit. Definitely check this spot out.
      Our table agreed she gave us the BEST SERVICE we ever had.

      I truly believe in supporting local businesses and want to see them thrive which is why it's difficult to leave this 2 star review. Service was decent and the waitress friendly. However the food from apps to entree were sadly lacking in Indian flavor. I love Indian food but was in shock at the lack of authentic spices and flavor generally found in this amazing cuisine. I ordered the combo appetizer and while it was well fried (not oily), it was just okay. The green and brown sauces were served combined and the flavor was the only thing that helped the apps. I order the Naan with potatoes which was a soft and unpleasant mess. The texture of the naan was so soft it was weird and there was almost no potatoes as filling. I've never had BLAND naan but there is a first time for everything.

      For my entree I ordered the Goat Nani. It was a one note dish, but the problem is I can't tell you WHAT that note was...I couldn't taste any ginger or distinguish other ingredients. The goat was pretty fatty, as is the case with goat sometimes, but the meat was tender when I was able to cut some away from the fat & bones. Sadly the meat had no seasoning and the sauce didn't have enough personality to elevate the taste of the meat.

      Lastly the food all came out TOGETHER! Not as an app and then the entree but given my dissatisfaction for the food I didn't complain. I don't believe in wasting food and almost always take food home to see if I can improve it to eat but I didn't here. I'm sorry to admit that I literally left 85% of the food on the table.

      Businesses should know that customers pay attention to the manner in which others are treated. An older couple thought they ordered one type of naan but apparently it was wrong when they cut into it. The lady explained to the server it wasn't what they wanted and tried to explain to her upon ordering and she told them she'd order the correct item. When the older gentleman asked if they were going to be charged for the wrong item, the server responded YES because you ordered it.

      That kinda turned my stomach because it's not how you treat customers in my humble opinion. I get it was an error but they didn't eat it. I tipped my general 20% and left.

      Food is alright, service is horrendous for dine in. You're better off ordering online and picking up, just make sure you check your items before you leave. Been burned before with an entire meal missing.
