The food was really good. They don't mess around with the spices. We got the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Everything was very flavorful. We asked for 3/5 soiciness and it was spicier than your usual 3/5 so be careful! Very much a hole in the wall place. Decor was interesting and a little chaotic. Staff were nice.

Solid food, think your family's home cooking. I had saag and chenna masala. Bits of whole spices in the chenna are always a nice touch. It was missing the sweet-savory of black cardamon, but I'd order it again. It's one of my favorites. The saag was good and nicely seasoned without a lot of the oiliness you get in some places. I asked for five stars of spice and got about 2.5. It's one of those places where they need to know you before they unleash the spices. Still, it was flavorful and ok pricing for a no-frills place. Good service. The salted lassi was tasty. They are hit or miss in the US, but this was solid. Definitely, a place I'd hit up again for a bite on Lake City Way.

This place is heavily underrated. It's a huge chain restaurant in India, kind of like an Indian Denny's complete with late night hours (11pm on weekdays, midnight on weekends). Unlike Denny's the food is actually really good. It's up there with the best restaurants I've tried anywhere on the west coast. I got the mutton rara, which tasted like a fancy spicy goat curry. It had whole chunks of bone with the marrow oozing out inside. The late hours are a huge bonus in this neighborhood because not much else is open after 9pm. The restaurant is styled very much as a fast casual kind of place. Paper plates and plastic cups, all flavor and no frills. The prices push the menu a little past the fast casual bracket (19+ dollars) but for that much money you get a full meal: rice and two pieces of naan with a bowl of curry packed denser than it looks. I'm a big eater who can clear many plates at an Indian buffet and I was satisfied with my portion. Overall, it's a fantastic authentic Indian restaurant with really convenient late night hours.

We have ordered takeout from here a couple times now. Some of the items we have tried and liked are the Karahi Chicken, Gobhi Prantha, Paneer paratha and Roti. Chicken Tikka was one of the items that we were a little disappointed in.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - rice comes with the curries which we were very happy with. Wish there was a bit more rice as the curries were super filled to the top of the container Cream Chicken (Speciality) - does contain bones. Very creamy and tender without getting dry as some do if cooked too long. Mutton Rara was absolutely delicious with strong spice flavoring and the mutton was so soft and tender as well. Does contain bone as well, so don't eat it too fast! Garlic Naan was good but compared to the curries, very bland in taste. It worked wonderfully to absorb the curry though! Ambience: N/A - ordered food to go. Only six tables but very high ceilings so it feels roomy. Smells wonderfully of food and incense but quite warm with the door open (heat wave). Yellow cathode tubes for lighting with no cover Service: 5/5 - super friendly and able to make a few recommendations for us to try. Took the time to explain how different dishes are made and which one to order based on your preference Value for price: 5/5 - very simple shop from the first glance but with such a friendly worker and delicious food, would highly recommend!
