2023-09-16 21:59:42I ordered Lamb Rogan Josh and although I would say it tastes good, I will only recommend visiting this place when the daily lunch special is served.

2022-02-13 00:46:10Quickly becoming my favourite spot for a good curry.I’ve visited 4-5 times over the past few weeks, and obtained some very good curry / rice / naan etc in my opinion.I liked how I can get a good level of spice as requested. All dishes ordered do appear to have a good level of diversity.Prices are common to the area and customer service so far has been to a very welcomingly high good level.Really recommend.

2022-02-19 01:08:02The establishment is well kept and clean, the people are nice. We had chicken korma, chicken nirvana and lamb tikka masala. My daughter also had daal and mango ice cream and we shared the garlic naan.Everything was prepared quickly and tasted great! We all enjoyed our meal and didn’t have a lot to take home.My daughter says the mango ice cream is the best ice cream she’s ever had, it’s very flavorful and super creamy. I had a bite and it was delicious!My daughter is a big chai fan, so she had the chai hot tea. She absolutely loved it.We are very happy with the experience, the food was delicious and didn’t take long to arrive, which was pleasing as we were all hungry when we arrived!We will be back when we are in the area!

2023-10-22 20:23:47My wife and I went out for a splurge lunch. We had the Mango Currie, Chicken Momos, and the house special Naan, stuffed with fruit and nuts. Everything was excellent and the servings were ample. We had enough leftovers for another meal at home. They have a very interesting menu and we intend to be back to explore it in depth.

2023-01-21 21:35:00We consistently have excellent Indian dishes here. It is so satisfying, lunch or dinner. Even the rice 🍚 is perfect… San Marcos is a good 25 - 30 minutes from our house, worth the visit! Friendly hosts and service too.

2023-10-13 04:34:55Have been disappointed by many Indian/Nepali restaurants before but this one delivered. Butter chicken was very tender and a good consistency. Lamb Briyani was very flavorful although a few pieces of lamb were a bit dry. The somosas are very big which was nice. The naan bread was a bit chewy. A bit expensive but I’m sure during there lunch special it would be more than worth it. Overall a good spot and will probably be back

The staff were very polite,very efficient and the whole experience was well worth another visit.We have eaten at a lot of Indian-Asian restaurants and this one is one of the best.Definitely recommend this one to everyone!

2022-01-19 13:26:14We had read several good reviews of this place and a month ago had attempted to eat there, but they had but they had about an hour wait, so we passed.This time we were fortunate to find no wait at all. We ordered some dumplings, naan and chow mein. The dumplings were interesting and somewhat delicate in flavors. The naan was good. The chow mein had an interesting sweet-and-sour sauce but overall was greasy and lacked any impressive flavor.The server was friendly enough but not what I would call attentive. The price was reasonable so I have no complaints there. I would have rather paid more for a better overall experience.I dont like to leave reviews that fall short of excellence but both my daughter and I felt our experience was average at best and fell short of the pervious reviews we had read.

2022-08-30 23:45:44Brought my son for his first active experience of eating Indian food. The waiter recommended the Chicken Tikka Masala or the Butter Chicken plus the Butter Naan or Garlic Cilantro Naan. We ended up with the Tikka and Garlic Naan. I suggested that he choose a veggie dish. Since he had already chosen the Paneer Pakora as an appetizer (uses chick pea flour for the breading), we went with the Daal instead of the Chana Masala. We both ordered the Chai Masala. I remembered near the end of the meal that I had asked for an order of raita which did not arrive. It turned out ok since we had opted for all the food to be mild spiciness. Everything was delicious. The server gave us more attention which suited my son; he had all his questions answered and felt comfortable with our final selections. Overall, a very sweet time with my boy.
