Their butter chicken is delicious. My wife likes the Goat Yakhani Pulao.

It was a reminder of how traditional flavors, when done right, can be unforgettable. A plate of chapati and curry like this doesn’t just fill you up; it warms you from the inside out and leaves you craving the next bite.

This restaurant serves reheated frozen naan (bought outside) bread. The majority of their dishes are prepared from frozen and reheated ingredients, rather than being freshly made. Despite offering Indian cuisine, the flavors often lack authentic Indian taste. Please stay away from this place.

Food was delicious and service was very friendly.
