We went in assuming they would have authentic momos but we were disappointed. Firstly, they don’t serve steam momos. Secondly, It seems they just fried frozen momos and served. The reshami kabab was just okay. The service was good and ambiance is really nice. We...Read More

This place has a great selection of Indian food. I had the lamb keema (medium spicy level) masala with garlic Naan. Although the price of this dish is 20.00, it was worth it. This has a creamy lamb curry flavor with lamb cubes. I felt...Read More

The lamb biryani was good. I thought there would be more heat 🌶️ to it as I ordered “medium” level of spiciness but I didn’t notice any. The lamb vindaloo was terrific where medium meant medium in spice level. The samosas were a treat.

Food is phenomenal. We love spicy and the medium heat was perfect. Saag Paneer was the perfect blend of spicy and creamy without being too creamy. We also enjoyed the chicken curry, aloo gobi, and garlic Naan. Highly recommend!!
