When the food came it exceptionally delicious and fresh funmi adegokeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chicken biryani was awesome. The chicken was tender and well marinated with good amount of masala. I have ordered spicy briyani and it didn't disappoint me. The spice level was spot on Greg HillsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabulous restaurant. The atmosphere is great and the food was excellent.

Strongly recommend this place to anyone who wants to try Indian food!!! Wendi SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They've just started a new menu (a bit of a shame, as I was looking forward to trying the duck bao). The new menu has some very expensive items on it, but some much more reasonable ones, too. Mixed drinks, for instance, are over $20, but the beers are a much more reasonable $10. The chicken tikka masala, naan and vegetable thali were the best we've ever had. Good sized servings, but not enough to doggie-bag. Next time we might spring for the very, very expensive items - beef wellington, anyone? Place was only half-full on a quiet January Thursday. It deserves better.
