I am an experienced vegetarian foodie and all I talk would be about vegetarian food. All you hungry chaps out there wanting to eat vegetarian ... you can rely on my review. Never eat samosas at an Indian restaurant. They always and almost always contain stale food from yesterday, sometimes it would stink of going bad. Quantity : Five stars! A lot of food on the table if you think you havent ordered enough. Quality: If you dont cook authentic Indian at home, you would not know how bad the tastes are. For example, if you ordered garlic naan, the doh should contain garlic and not the garlic paste applied on top of the naan. It just doesnt taste good. Note: Indian food is a very cultured cuisine and not some arbitrary mixture of elements. It takes right set of ingredients, an evolved procedure and accurate timing to get the perfect flavor out that many cant achieve. If you want the worst example that even a person not having great taste-buds to understand ... try here! Bottomline: I went in hungry and came out unsatisfied never to return ... and standing outside I was wondering if "WOW" stands for worst of the Worst Of Worst!

Specific location: Always crowded. Long lines. Sometimes difficult to get a table. But very similar to most other locations. Parking is very challenging... General: This is a you get what you pay for place. Its incredibly reasonably priced and serves great tasting Indian food. No frills, but who needs them when youre getting rice, samosas, chicken tikka masala, and some naan. Exactly what the doctor ordered when hes looking for Indian food. Not at all a date place or anything like that...just a fast, simple, and good place to eat. Walk up to the counter. Order. Stick that number sign on your table and youre done.

I do not like to write negative reviews, but twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern and the pattern has been a long, long, wait and the final visit was my last. After a one hour wait for my take-out order, I was given the wrong order. When I called back, I was blamed for not checking my order, as if I was supposed to untie the plastic bag and unwrap each dish. When I attempted to ask for a refund for being given the wrong order, I was spoken to in a rude tone by the owner and told that it was my fault. Im done with this place.

Worst place i have ever stepped in . Old stale food . not even a single dish was tasty / fresh . It is such an unbilevable place , i would never ever step in again . I cant believe even the fruits smell stale , smell like they are from last night. I am a vegetarian and tried their Buffet . Its 13$ , and i guess this is not cheap. Bindi Restaurant in city has buffet and its 12$. I would highly recommend not to try this place . WORST ! I just came back from this place .. any doubts please go check it right away

My husband and I stumbled upon this place as we were looking for a different pakistani/indian restaurant. They have a buffet or you can order directly from the menu. Great food, served to us piping hot with extra big pieces of naan to enjoy them with. My husband and I had our fill for under $20! I had the veggie tikka masala and my husband had the okra with chicken. Both were delicious. Very pleased, will definitely visit again when I have the craving for good pakistani/indian food.

The place was not that great. The food was mediocre quality, the staff was half asleep, the atmosphere was sleazy and the crowd was cheap. As we entered the restaurant, one of the patrons came out and spit in the corner of the door, steps away from me. Anyway, when it comes to the food, the only good thing was the naan, the chicken tikka masala that we ordered was more like chicken makhni, over using masalas. We would not go there again. The only star Im giving is for the naan.

We had catered from this location for our parents 60th wedding anniversary. The food was delivered 1:25 hours late. Even though I had told them weeks before and last spoke to them on 12/22 and shared the importance of on time delivery. In addition the food was less and one of the items we ordered was mixed tandoori and we only receive chicken tandoori and no kebabs. I would not recommend any of my friends to use this location for catering.

I love this place so much! They have HUGE, yummy naan and delicious, super creamy paneer tikka masala. I order delivery from this place all the time (like a ridiculous amount...) and they have only ever gotten my order wrong once, and promptly sent over the right stuff. Just eat here. Its seriously great! A word of caution to those hot and spicy aficionados: if you ask for spicy, you will have to take a sec to cry it out between bites!

I went here for the first time tonight and didnt know what to expect. I heard good things from the people that i was with and was still a little bit uneasy. However, upon first stepping into the restaurant, i knew i was in for amazement. The smell, the music and the overall environment really captured me and i will totally eat there again and highly recommend it to others. Order the chicken tikka masala, its the greatest!

The food was delicious, but the kitchen was completely off. This place usually cranks out the food, but I waited for my chicken tikka masala with vegetables for at least 30 minutes. I was the only person in the restaurant, and only one small take away order was picked up. I had to finally ask for my food after 20 minutes, and it was 10 PM on a Tuesday! For me, the WOW was how long it took me to ask them to cook my meal.

Super tasty Indian food. Lots of options although be warned of youre lactose intolerant, this is not the place for you - every single meat dish is cooked or marinaded in yogurt. That being said, the guy behind the counter was straight up with us when we told him someone in our party was lactose intolerant about what we could and couldnt order. Food is super tasty. This has become our new fav Indian place!

Great tasting food, and the prices seemed great at first, but the amount of edible food on the plate was disappointing. For $8 we received 6 small pieces of paneer floating in a soup of sauce: hardly an entree! Same disappointing portions for the lamb and cauliflower as well. The naan was cooked to perfection, however, and that nearly made up for it. I would come back for the buffet instead.

Where to begin...WORST CURRY EVER!!! Rude service from 2 people helping me. Also, dont rely on their hours. You never know when they are open. Tried to go there one late night, turns out they were closed when I called & said theyd be open for 3 more hours. So I gave them another chance & tried another night. Horrible mistake. Seriously, its San Francisco. Theres much better Indian food.

Went by one afternoon a few weeks ago to just get a few pieces of naan. The woman told us that "we dont make money on the naan" and charged $4 for a plain naan. This a la cart policy is not on the website or printed anywhere other than $1.50 for plain naan. Ripoff policy. I wont return. I never said she was a cashier, she seemed in charge. Too bad, good Naan, but not $4 each good.
