[Edit February 2014 due to more recent experiences.] The food is very tasty, and the dine in service has gotten significantly better (see original review). I especially like their yellow lentils and vegetable samosas, which always seem fresh to me. The chaat options are nice too, especially if you get the lunch prices. [Original review.] On the rare occasions when they get the order right and in anything resembling a timely fashion, its good. However, the service is abysmal not even counting how slow they are and how often they get orders wrong. In the most recent example we came in on a Friday night. It was crowded but there was a sign up sheet. I was first so we waited. It wasnt until 20 minutes in that someone came over and told me it would be at least 30 more minutes because, apparently, their kitchen is incompetent and unable to keep up. Not only did they waste my time coming there but they wasted 20 more minutes ignoring me waiting around. Had they given me an estimate when I arrived, I could have left or gone and come back.

A group of 5 indian singaporeans / malaysians here on may 2014 for dinner . Indian flavors are a bit of a mismatch.The chicken tikka had too much of yogurt/milk and flavors were not coming. The briyani tastes like south indian type and was fair. Vegetable dishes are OK but not great. Very dissapointing was the 18% additional of the total on the bill for tips which was not expected.

This is my third time eating here and I really like the food and the flavours! They are really good at setting the seasoning to the right temperature, but tend to run the mild side. If you want spicy like they serve it india, you need to specify "very spicy" because "spicy" alone will not get you there.

The food here is amazing, but there is definitely a language gap you have to be aware of. Also, mild spices are pretty hot... so be prepared to scale it down a notch if you cant handle spices. The inside of the place is dimly lit, decorations amd furnishings arent great. But the food is on point!

Amazing food. Order the malai kofta and leave happy. But seriously everything is tasty. The only reason its not 5 stars is the service is pretty terrible. Order take-out to avoid the glacier-paced wait staff and eat some amazing Indian food.

Do the lunch buffet! $10.99 (at the time of writing) and you get free Chai tea too. The staff greeted me with a warm smile and the food is tasty. I parked in Trader Joes lot for free

Nothing flashy, but a solid option for good Indian food in an area that lacks it otherwise. Very friendly service.

Good classic Indian restaurant. Make sure to ask for spicy if you want it as standard is the mild versions.
