Overall I was not satisfied with my experience and will not return.The pictures of the full table show everything that was ordered.All together $80 for two.Butter chicken, extra rice, samosa, 2 naan and the chicken dish.The breads were $5+ each and the rice came out to like $10.None of the menu prices were accurate. The posted restaurant hours said they were open until 10:30pm, at 9:30 the waitress asked if we wanted dessert because they were closing.We denied and she quickly brought the bill.None of the items had prices just a total. Service was subpar, the waitress was awkward as was the environment.Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.This dinner really annoyed me
My husband and I want to like this place because we love Indian food, it's near our home, and it has been around for a long time.However, it is an awkward experience every time we go. The decor is confusing (white tablecloths and stemmed glasses paired with outdated china, old chairs too low for the table, and dirty carpet), and the restaurant is eerily quiet except for conversations coming from the kitchen. The staff seems inexperienced and/or disinterested.The servers bring your food and occasionally fill your empty glasses, but they otherwise spend their time standing around in the back.This visit, the server was nice but kept asking us if we wanted drinks or desserts, and it felt like she was trying to make a big of a sale as possible on the only table in the restaurant. The food was okay.We ordered vegetable biryani, aloo gobi, dal, naan, and paratha.None of it tasted better than our home-cooked versions, unfortunately.I did like the naan, but I'm not going back just for a $5 piece of bread.With tip, the meal cost $80.There was another entree we wanted to try another time, but I don't know we'll be back any time soon. I wish the restaurant owner and staff well.I want them to succeed, but they'll need to step up their game if they want to compete with all the excellent restaurants in the neighborhood.
I was here with my coworkers for team lunch.I really enjoyed the buffet, everything I ate was so good!!! I recommend if you have a taste for authentic fine Indian & Pakistani tandoori cuisine. Good Service ✅ Courteous Staff✅
