Testimonials

What they're saying about us

Great staff and very delicious food! The hospitality made us feel right at home, and every dish was full of authentic flavor. Honestly, it felt like being back in India — the food was just as good as what I’ve had there. A wonderful experience that I’d love to come back for again!

Sakshi Sharma

Our flight got delayed so we ended up staying in the area for a night. Boy am I glad we did because we got to experience this incredible gem!The staff was incredible with menu options and recommendations. We opted for a goat dish on their specialty menu and the traditional butter chicken with some garlic naan. The portions are well sized, the naan was so good we placed 3 orders and the goat fell right off the bone. The atmosphere is calm and beautiful as well.

Samantha Oldham

Liked their food. Fine dining does not have all the options (south Indian food) and went to the other side. The person who served us is nice and enjoyed our time there.

Naresh Modepalli

Amazingly delicious food, presentation and ambience. The service was on top of their game! Definitely check them out if you want mouth savoring flavorful indian food! Best manchow chicken soup & lamb biryani I have had in a very long time!

Natasha Chawla

On the outside it is deceiving on a side of Gaint shopping center! It is a kind of medium scaled restaurant. Staffs are well mannered as well as skillfully running the place. I come here multiple times but never despondent you can customize on your order just ask and you will get it specially when you want to spicy 🌶️. One more thing they do have a mini bar too!
