India Flavors

We had a party of ten and wanted to have a variety of options as many in the party are vegetarians, so we decided on Indian food. This location had the most interesting looking website amongst the six or seven that are all nearby (within half a mile of each other!). Plus, they actually answered the phone when I called!!! So, I made the reservation and we stopped in. The initial look is not particularly promising as it is in back of another establishment and cannot be seen from Orchard Lake rd. Not only that, but there are signs all over the facade advertising a breakfast place, so I was getting a bit nervous. That is, until I walked in! First impression was the beautiful decor. There is a large glass wall separating one dining area from the other. It has water in it with a bubble machine and inserts so that the bubbles form geometric design. Lighted from below change colors to add to the look (see photo). Next good sign was that they were ready for us and immediately took us to our table. Final good first sign was that we were the ONLY Caucasian group in the place!!! :-) It took a bit to get our orders together as it turned out that most of the people in our party actually had never done much with Indian cuisine, but the waiters were patient and we eventually got there. I was happy to see the wide variety of dishes so that both my vegetarian and non-vegetarian folks could get what they wanted. When the food arrived ... wow!!! All the right flavors, amped up. There were all the spices you expect to come together in Indian dishes and then some. I was very impressed and enjoyed things immensely. My heat tolerance level is pretty high but many in the group are not fans of spicy food. We ordered everything at the medium level, and when it came, it was too much for some of the people. The excellent Mango and especially the Sweet Lassi saved the day. As we ate, I was monitoring who came in, and by the time we were done, the place was almost completely full. Aside for us, there were probably two dozen parties in this large place. Only us, and two other parties were not of Indian origin. This - to me - is an excellent indicator of the quality of the food - in addition to my own experiences. Overall, this was a very highly enjoyable dinner and I would really like to come back to enjoy more of their offerings.

Not only the best Indian food in the area, the best food all around in the area! This restaurant is so consistent and the quality is superb. They have a very easy to navigate website and it makes ordering super easy. The food is always ready on time too.
