Let me tell you, I thought I knew good Indian food until I ate here. The spices were spot on, not too heavy, just perfect. Mango lassi? A++ refreshing.

Here's my honest thought—every dish felt like it was made with love. The freshness of the ingredients stood out, and the flavors? just incredible. The garlic naan paired with their butter chicken is hands down my FAVE meal combo. A must-try!

Honestly speaking, their curries had layers of flavors I didn't even know existed. Naan was soft and fresh, perfect for scooping up every last bit.

I didn't expect much, but wow, the food was a game-changer! The butter chicken? Next level. Service was friendly too. Can't wait to go back for more. :)
