My husband and I had such a good experience here. It was near closing and they stayed open to serve us. The individual we spoke to suggested we try the rasmalai and stated it was the best in the area… listen… he told no lies. I’ve literally never had rasmalai that good. It was amazing! And the milk cake was also good! We can’t wait to return and try the biriyani!

I recently dined at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the culinary experience. The highlight for me was undoubtedly the flavor profile of the dishes, especially the way they handled spiciness. It wasn't just heat for the sake of heat – there was a depth and complexity to the flavors that elevated the entire meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant contributed greatly to the overall experience. It was inviting and comfortable, making it a great spot for both casual and special occasions. The menu items were varied and well-executed, showcasing a good range of choices for different tastes and preferences. All in all, it was a wonderful dining experience that I would recommend to anyone who appreciates good food in a pleasant setting.

Was very impressed by the food! As a non-Indian that loves Indian cuisine, I found the food unique to many places around here, and very tasty. The online menu has good images and explanations of the dishes, so those not familiar can get an idea of what some of the more interesting options are. The service was excellent, and very helpful explaining some of the menu items to me. Clearly a small business that takes their customer service commitment very seriously! I tried the butter chicken, which was somewhat different than most places around here (more creamy, less tomato based). It was excellent. I also tried the Ulavacharu Chicken Biryani, to which I was warned the flavor may be different than I am used to. I tried it anyway and loved it! The naan was also fresh and very tasty. The location is somewhat small, so don't go there expecting a spacious restaurant. But do go there expecting great food and great service.
