Local Guide
"First time here - a recently opened Indian cuisine restaurant with a modern interior and decor. The traditional butter chicken was great and the chaat. Drinks are reasonably priced although not a huge beer selection at the time of writing this. Food was hit and tasty. Will definitely return"
First-Time Guest
"The food tastes amazing. Their naan bread is out of this world. It is thin, crusty, and super fresh! All their appetizers and main dish are unique and refreshing. I will definitely come back."
Local Guide
"We stopped in here for a date night and we were the only ones here for the entire 1.5 hours we were there which seems crazy with all the stellar reviews. It might be the high price point? $21 for 6 shrimp, etc The food was absolutely delicious, amazing flavor and the butter chicken and spinach paneer dishes were creamy and very saucy. We will be back but will have to save a bit first as the 2 mains, 1 rice, 1 naan, and 2 appy's, along with 2 beers, cost 109.25 with a 15% tip."

"Beautiful new Indian restaurant in the SE! We have lived in the area for just under 20 years and there are so many new local stores popping up that are so great the support! This one in particular has so many things to rave about. The food was amazing!! The aesthetic of the restaurant is so beautiful and modern - with beautiful art work as well. Easy to tell there was so much time and thought was put into to it. Annie was our server and she was amazing! And the owner came over and talked to us as well. Highly recommend you will not be disappointed ☺️"

"I had Lunch buffet today. It was $21. Including flesh naan, I picked garlic one. I loved this restaurant’s rice pudding. Curry was tasty, little spicy. Samosa was beef one. No potatoes which I have never had before. It was spicy! The server was nice."
