From the kitchen

I’ve never eaten Indian cuisine before but this was the best first experience at authentic Indian food! Chunnu the owner is very kind and he cooked our meals that was best! Highly recommend getting Samosas and a curry dish for sure! Great mild and spicy options. Definitely will be returning. :) 10/10

Not having much experience with Indian food, my party and I did not know what to expect. What we found was that the food was phenomenal! The rice was perfectly cooked and it's texture was so fluffy.

The garlic naan was soft and pillowy, ideal for soaking up every last bit of sauce. Great service and nice customer service I had great experience Definitely a must-try for any…
