Delicious and a great experience! Our waitress Arshdeep was very kind, she was probably new but she did her best and gave us a really good and kind service. Everything we ordered was so tasty and well portioned. We are not indian so we didn’t know much about the names of the dishes and she took the time to explain the differences and the flavors and spicyness of each one so we could make the right decision, and we did, we will come back :)

The chicken was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and beautifully seasoned — one of the best I’ve had. The service was just as impressive. The lady who served us was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Arshia made the whole experience even more enjoyable with her warm attitude and great hospitality. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic and delicious Indian food. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was incredibly delicious, full of rich flavors and spices that were perfectly balanced. The goat dish was the highlight for me — so tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic Indian food!
