*Atmosphere 1/5 Stars. Restaurant is completely EMPTY. Unappealing and very stuffy inside.*Service 2/5 Stars. Not that friendly, but there’s an older lady that works here who was especially not nice. She wouldn’t let us use the bathroom, she assumed my boyfriend was an ubereats driver and was very cold towards him, telling him he had to wait outside while she initially tried to seat me first and she just overall looked like she didn’t want to be there.*Food… oh man, chicken is dry. Flavor is gone. High prices. Small portions. Rice not included.Overall, a very awkward and unpleasant experience.

First time I tried to eat here it was super hot and stuffy inside so I left cause I wouldn’t be able to enjoy my meal in that uncomfortable environment (not a single customer in the store). Second time I came I wasn’t greeted by a server or host again, and I seated myself. Cook comes out and doesn’t really say anything so I ask if they are open… he says yes and then a server comes out. He doesn’t really say anything either … so I say, “one menu please” since the server doesn’t even bring a menu or water… He then asks me to move to a different table on the other side of the room - and mind you this is me being in the restaurant at noon with ZERO customers in the restaurant, and you’re going to ask me to move to another table ?? Yeah… really struggling to have enough tables for all your customers so make sure you ask your one and only customer to move 🤣🤣🤣🤣 why would I come back a 3rd time?I went to a local competitor after this and when I entered I was greeted, there were customers seated, and yet they still let me sit where I wanted to. If I can’t sit where I want have a sign that says, “please wait to be seated”. Otherwise why ask your customer to move when your restaurant is completely dead Lmaoo

I recently ordered ordered tandoori Indian restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. I ordered the butter chicken, which was priced at around $15, expecting it to come with rice as is customary. However, to my surprise, it was served without any rice.To make matters worse, the butter chicken itself was extremely oily, and the chicken was not cooked well. After finishing my meal, I experienced nausea, which is concerning. Its crucial that chicken is cooked thoroughly to prevent the risk of bacterial contamination and related stomach issues.

Unfortunately no good for lamb curry and no jeera in aloo gobhi. Cannot return or recommend. Lamb curry was not palatable. Other customers echo the same for lamb curry months ago, no improvement. Please try to fix the curry. Thanks.

Great for take out! I ordered Ubereats pickup since there was a BOGO deal and got 2 orders of the chicken makhani (butter chicken) and 1 order of the chicken masala dinner for one (with malai kofta). Order was less than $40 and will last me for at least 4 meals. Everything has tasted amazing so far and its great to support a local restaurant. The shopping plaza is under construction still so the place is a little hidden but there are signs. Given the construction, I found that parking was hard to access so I ended up parking a block away in a more residential area so heads up with that. The person who handed me food had on a mask when I came in so that was appreciated as well.

Great service, well-seasoned Lamb Korma. Decent price for amount of food. Minus 1 star for having a rather limited lunch menu
