Went here because its the closest Indian place besides Zantes, and I didnt feel like Zantes. The atmosphere was nice, its well decorated. The service was fine, but then we were there at 9pm and the place was empty. Food was surprisingly bland. We ordered medium spicy but it barely had any. Also it was really missing the richness of flavor I expect from Indian food. The rice didnt seem to have the normal assortment of Indian spices, so was just rice. The kicker, though, was that the lamb (in a curry) was SUPER dry, tough, and flavorless. Also the paneer was very dry and chewy. Definitely not worth the value. It wasnt until the next morning that I realized that we somehow walked away with a $40 bill for two main dishes, a couple orders of naan, and rice. I will say, though, that the naan was excellent. We ordered a second order and it came fresh out of the oven, delicious and fresh, chewy with light crispy flakes on the outside, easily the best naan ive ever had. But again, we were the only ones in the restaurant by then so of course it came out fresh. On a normal day it would probably just taste like regular naan.

The people and food are great here. I travel (with out car ) across the city just get naan. They are the only place in the city that I am aware of that makes spinach naan. They not only offer spinach naan , but they actually prepare the spinach into the dough , not just placed inside. The environment is cozy and personable. The staff is great and attentive.

They have a nice lunch buffet here. Food is okay, but its a nice place to go when you are in the mood for Indian food. Service could be better but the staff is usually pretty friendly and there is never a wait to get a table here. Get the Garlic Naan

Very friendly service. Food was actually quite good. Overall, though, the price was just too much. I could get twice the amount of food for what I paid at another Indian restaurant. Sorries.

Prawns tikka masala for very small bowl - $17.95 while it clearly says on their website $15.95. The guy there said that prices went up and just never updated. Not worth it

Decent chicken tikka masala and naan. Decor needs to be improved but the restaurant is a credible option for noe valley.

Food was good... but waiting 2 hours for delivery overshadowed the experience.
