My first time and it?s soooo good! Steve and his son are super friendly! The menu is simple and easy to navigate. The food... reminds me of my Aunties cooking. Thank you so much! I?ll be back again ?? Read more
First time I went to this restaurant. If you want to try great Indian meals visit. Great location in Bell Blvd. Service was... excellent. I saw they offered pickup service. Large selection of beers, wine and interesting cocktails. Have to go back to tryother offerings. Read more
The food is delicious especially the biryani. The kebabs and lamb-chops are delightful. I ordered a few times for catering... event. They delivered on time and took all the food inside. My guests loved the food. Big thank you to Karan for being socordial and professional. Excellent hospitality, service and delicious food! Read more
This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the US. Perfect balance between traditional and modern, and the food isn?t overly-oily... like a lot of other restaurants. The place is also very clean. The *only* reason I gave 4 stars is because of one waitress, Ibelieve her name is Joy. Every time we go, she constantly makes rude, jabby comments to me and my family. I think it?s just hersense of humour, but we can?t even ask for a glass of water without her making some snide comment. One day she went too far andreally upset my father to where he was visibly offended. She sort of laid off after that but unfortunately I am discouraged tocome back to the restaurant because I do not want her as our waitress. To clarify, literally everyone else on the staff is sopolite and professional, it?s just her, who was hired just a few months ago. Read more
Review on the most recent visit on 6/25 - Ordered Fish Pakodas, Gobi pathakas, Samosa Chaat and chicken biriyani. Except for... Samosa Chaat, everything tasted different and bland than last time. The fish Pakodas batter was different and bland, Gobipathakas was extremely red and tasted like tomato ketchup and the chicken biriyani had less salt in it. However, the drinks werestill very delicious and we enjoyed every bit of the tempress, rose martini and bay daisy. Their ras Malai was alsodelicious. ------- Amazing food and cocktails. The hot cocktails require a special mention here. Thoroughly enjoyed hot toddyand port comfort (for the sweet tooth). We only had their appetizers. AMRITSARI fish pakoda was delicious (reviewed by myPunjabi fiancee), chicken 65 was delicious, samosa Chaat was good and paneer Tikka was decent. Also had the noodles which weredelicious too. A 5/5 for the restaurant. Read more
Our 2nd time at this restaurant was not as good of an experience as the first. In both instances we went on Saturday but... yesterday was with the dinner crowd. The food was lacking the authenticity as it had in our first experience. Hopefully it wasa fluke and our next experience will be better. Read more
This was an interesting experience. The service was extravagant and the waiters were very responsive. The saag paneer was... extraordinary. One thing I recommend is maintaining spice levels. The butter chicken was too sweet, and the Punjabi chole wassalty. Otherwise, exquisite! Read more
Overall the best Indian food I've had in a long time. Samosas were the best I'd ever had, and ambience was pleasant. Chicken... saag was delicious, and garlic naan was also amazing. Chicken biryani was also quite good but had a few bones in it -- not a bigdeal. Read more
