Not the first time Ive been here.
Tasty food with good serving sizes. I love the tandoori chicken and the lamb sheesh was delicious. Lamb vindaloo was a little thick but packed a punch! Korma was also so tasty and liked by all. Thanks for the beautiful food. Will definitely be back soon

Good Dessert and mouth freshener,while apart from that it wasn't authentic Indian food, the quality of meat used for chicken and goat dishes weren't fresh at all , and curries had excessive usage of food colours , the ambience is good ,while the food didn't do any justice to that, it's a serious health concern and we felt robbed , it's unacceptable to give stale food, you can't play with someone's health .#Owner should do a taste and quality check once in a while to understand if the expectations are met, and I am sure they can't finish a meal themselves..better buy some stuff to eat from petrol

Giving 2 stars because only dessert platter was good. Goat rogan Josh was excessively coloured that it stained my hands and tongue red. Hyderabadi biriyani was nowhere close to any biriyani,it was bland yellow coloured dry rice with some pieces of chicken here and there. Also chicken lollipop was smelling like as though it was fried in very old oil. Overall quality of food was not worth the amount we paid. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Not like other desi restaurants. Staff is very experienced, polite, welcoming and taking care of you in any way. Food is fresh and tasty. We other dum biryani and food platter both were 9/10

We went to this place over the weekend for lunch. After validating our vaccination status we were allowed and provided a seating of our choice. The menu had lot of options and the service was very quick. Taste of the food was really good, the rotis were tad expensive but good taste. Ambience was also nice with songs playing in the background. There is lot of parking available outside, but there is a drive through joint next to this restaurant so there is a lot of traffic and watch out while you enter.
