I love this place. Amazing food. I introduced my brother to them a decade ago after my aunt showed it to me and everyone in my family loves this place. The vegetarian curries are amazing and I get one every time, usually eggplant but sometimes mushroom and peas. The chicken korma is to die for.

The service here is amazing. You feel very welcomed and at home. The food is high quality and so flavorful. Best Indian restaurant I've ever been to! I drive over 45 mins just to get here.

Although my first experience here over a decade ago was not a particularly impressive one, things have changed. I've eaten here multiple times over the past year (or two), and I've come to enjoy every dining experience I've had here. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, the seating is comfortable, and there is always plenty of parking out front.

I love Indian buffets. This restaurant is a cozy smaller shop that can fit around 50 people. Options are not overwhelming, there are around 8 trays of food options between sides and curries. Naan is included and fresh toasted. The Owners (or who I had assumed were the Owners) have lots of grand kids and the restaurant is kid friendly. One of the recommendations from the Owner was the Tikka masala and gravy mixed with rice for kids. Definite win (the Owner says her grand kids ask for it all the time). The Tikka masala is super red, but it is Not spicy (we made this assumption and avoided it initially for our child). Would love to come back, it has everything I want from an Indian cuisine AYCE.

1. The tandoori chicken was a bit too salty. 2. Tiki masala with lamb was really good. 3. Coconut curry was good as well. 4. Lady does not have good service attitude. Overall pretty good, would come back for the food.

Finally tried this place and it blew me away! We ordered the chili garlic naan, butter chicken and lamb korma. The chili garlic naan was so soft and flavorful and the portion was great too for dipping. The butter chicken was so tasty and just spicy enough and the chicken was so tender. The lamb korma was also delicious. This is definitely the spot for Indian food. One thing to note is that they do charge extra for rice which I didn't know. The rice portion was fairly large and enough for the two of us. The food here was so good and I can't wait to have it again.

I had the privilege to try this restaurant out as takeout by winning a gift card with SGV Eats collaboration for Christmas (thank you to you both) and that's what prompted me to try this Indian restaurant. And boy, was I glad I did! Even though it is slightly on the pricier side (which I gladly waive because Indian food uses a lot of spices), the curries are insanely flavorful and decadent. The goat curry was full of impactful flavor bombs and the goat itself was very tender. The tikka masala was very creamy and buttery. The lamb was tender as well. The basmati rice was good too! It is a family owned restaurant and the son is very nice, friendly and approachable. I would definitely come back when I have a curry craving and recommend this to my friends! Pros: -delicious delicious food -good variety of curries, appetizers and entrees -friendly service -clean restaurant -prompt service -worth the price for good quality food -free parking in a plaza Cons: -None!

We came here for lunch, and enjoyed their chicken korma and lamb curry. Both were medium spicy and spicy level was good. The lunch special included rice and naan, and you could choose between plain or garlic naan. It also included 2 sides, which I think rotate daily. Portion was good, and food was super flavorful! The korma was very creamy, I soaked up all the naan and rice with it. The restaurant itself is clean and simplistic and owner was very friendly. Food came out quickly. Can't wait to come again for dinner.
