Testimonials

On 9/29/2026 courtney hoover had this to say:
Very friendly service. My favorite place to go for my birthday every year!

On 9/27/2026 Jasie Becknell had this to say:
I had their egg curry (spicy) while my parents had the butter lamb/lamb curry and goat kadai (both mild). I had bites of all three and they were all excellent. We will definitely be back. We really appreciate the ability to choose your spice level on most dishes, and the dishes themselves are incredible and flavorful regardless of choice. We had very short wait times and helpful staff interactions as well. What a great gem!

On 9/27/2026 David Bythewood had this to say:
After just a few bites of the goat kadai and butter lamb, not to mention garlic naan that you could smell from across the table, we are immediately in love and this is our favorite Indian restaurant. Incredible, and for most dishes they can adjust the spice level to your needs.

On 9/27/2026 David B. had this to say:
Only a few bites in, and this became our favorite Indian restaurant. My wife tried the butter lamb and I had the goat kadai, and it was just incredible. And the garlic naan, with garlic you can smell across the table, wonderful. All around terrific.
