Horrible palak paneer! May be made by a trainee chef who just added salt+MSG+ Palak paste, threw a lot of thin slices of paneer, heated it in a pan & packed it for me. Tasted like salty spinach paste! Probably chef not interested/enough trained in cooking vegetarian food. Roti is also quite hard, white coloured, chewy - probably low quality ingredients to keep overall price low. Definitely place to skip. Lady at the counter was friendly plus Only other saving grace was white rice which was nicely cooked.

This is my favorite local Indian and always tell everyone to try it! Only problem i had tonight was I ordered the veggie/chicken family pack which if ya look at the attached screenshots from their website states that it comes with 3 papadum. We didn't get them so I called just to let them know I was stuffing my face so didn't wanna go pick them up or anything. I just thought I should inform them. The guy on the phone got kinda mad at me and said that deal doesn't come with them. I answered that they needed to update their website because it clearly stated on the website that the papadums are included. He told me that the menu had changed and I was wrong. Honestly didn't care in the end about the missing papadums but being told that im wrong when its listed as part of the deal on their own website and basically told to go away, actually made me more upset than the missing food! Used to absolutely love this place and I still love the food and used to rave to everyone about our amazing local shop. But this did leave a bad taste in my mouth. (The curry i devoured was incredible!) Left conflicted but happily full

This place is a gem, open late, humble pricing, always get my money's worth, nice people - worth checking the specials board, $17 for a full tandoori chicken was an absolute steal. The naans are always decadent too. Thanks guys!

My fave local Indian restaurant. I get the butter chicken, rice and garlic naan combo or the biryani selection, always beautifully cooked by professional Indian chefs, not dry and sinewy like a lot of other places, affordable price range and friendly relaxed service, their new location a few steps from their old place is more spacious and has much more room for guests or larger groups, online order option available to pick up. Highly recommended

Ok. So I went back and forth on this place based of the reviews and the stereotypes that appear in your head from the name and decor - but I took a leap as they are open late. Glad I did. Food and service is lovely - the smell is divine. Taste is great. They may have issues with consistently based on the reviews but this is now on my rotation list for local restaurants. Price is great - I see some comments on meat quantity, but the price is reflective. I would take a higher price for more meat and less sauce but I get the compromise. Looking forward to going again.

Came off a late movie at Westfield Stlukes and craving Biriyani. Both giants of the area Bawarchi and Paradise closed at midnight hour and only this was open. Didn't have any expectations but OH MAN. That portion, that soft chunks of chicken in the biriyani paired with raita and the lovely wee boy taking orders. At the rate of 16$ this place beats Bawarchi and Paradise in every angle at the biriyani game! Open till 1am too! Not to forget, I'm die hard fan of Bawarchi but oh this place!

Way too sweet. Tomato soupy. Kids will like it. We chose malai kofta and chicken tikka masala. Rice was good. The staff were nice. The garlic naan were huge, but not garlicy. I asked for 2, but got 4. Think i paid for 4. Its a bit hard to tell. I wouldve paid less if id ordered the combo meal, which was the same order but with a fizzy drink each (but i didnt want fizzy drinks). So kinda meh. Its half eaten already in the photos.. theres plenty of it. Edit. Updated to 3 as leftovers reheated were good and i felt mean.

Ordered chicken Vindaloo and chicken kadhai. Both the curry were superb. Thought kadhai was little sweet but nice. Service is very quick. Very nice staff.
