We ordered so much food that I was sure we would have left overs but I was surprised that the 6 of us pretty much ate everything except for a quarter piece of naan. We order lamb shank, goat curry, veg biryani, 2 orders of leg and thigh chicken tandoori, eggplant, chicken Karahi, side order of stuffed naan, 4 naans and white rice. Goes to show how good this place is. AND 2 families placed orders for take-out.

My boyfriend and I found this restaurant on the Internet and it had good ratings and good comments about the food so we decided to try it. We loved the food and especially liked some of the more creative Indian dishes that we don't typically see in other Indian restaurants. The one drawback is that there is no beer or wine and we usually like to have a beer when we are eating spicy food. I wish it was closer and I would do take-out so that I could take it home and have my ice cold beer with it. Give it a try for the food though.

I had a Groupon for $20 off. There were a total of three people in my party. We ordered four samosas, fish, chicken tandoori and spinach which came with Naan and rice. We also placed an order for garlic naan and chai tea. Everything was really good. The server was nice, however she was chewing gum. She explained everything was served family style and that each serving could serve one or more. It was a great deal with the Groupon. I would love to come back for lunch and have the buffet!!

We very much enjoyed our dinner. The food and service were quite good. We plan to go back. It's a neighborhood gem. You might not realize it at first as it is located in a small outdoor mall. The inside of he restaurant is quite nice.

We brought our Indian friend there. He lives in Charlotte., N. Carolina and he said the goat curry was very good. So was the vegetable biryani, the mixed vegetables, the mixed naan basket and the fish masala. Superb dinner and we even had left overs because the portions were so generous.
