I travel for work and have been here before 3 years ago before all the Covid shutdowns. When I came back this year I was so happy to see they survived Covid. This place has some of the best Indian food I have ever had. Staff is friendly and attentive. The food is amazing. Different spice levels. Also a BYOB. Wish I lived closer so I could come more often. But definitely a go to spot when I am in town.
We were driving down from Massachusetts to NJ - home. But decided to stop by here. Thank god that we did. Because this was hands down THE MOST AUTHENTIC Indian food I have had in the United States.
For appetizers, got pani poori. The water was really good!!! The gol gappas were fresh. Very tasty appetizer.
For mains, I got aloo-pyaaz parantha. Which came with a side of yogurt, onions-chili, aloo sabzi and pickles. The dish really came together with all the little details. (Ended up getting another order of this to go. )
Also, got Chicken Biryani. Came with a side of yogurt as well. This was also really good too.
I wish lived close by to come to this place regularly. But will definitely will be coming to this place again.
Also, shoutout to the staff. Really nice and friendly.
Great casusal Dhaba dining experience but delightfully restaurant style flavors. Reasonably priced and great service. We had an attentive sever and had casual conversation with the owner Tarun, who has several other restaurants in the CT MA area. We ordered Chicken Tikka. Great tandoor flavors, smoke and charred but still tender inside. Amritsari fish was lovely with crispy outside and mosit fish inside. Just loved the the byod policy. We paired it with a lovely bourbon. Bhel puri was cruchy and with lovely spices. Main course had comfort makhani daal and butter chicken which had the tangy kick. Garlic naan, laccha parantha was warm and paired well with curries. Definitely recommend for both dine in and take out. Great place to visit when i am back in town from bay area.
We stopped here while driving back to home . The place is not so big but Don’t judge the book by its cover . The food is really good. Haven’t had such authentic indian dishes taste for while . The order service is very fast. The food was delicious . Would like to come back some time again. The price is very decent.
We got the lamb biryani, goat biryani, okra, naan, paratha, tandoori chicken, daal, papadams and a couple of the desserts.
The positives are that the desserts are like nothing I tasted before and really delicious. The okra was also amazing, it's so hard to find good okra these days! The daal was really good, super flavorful and smooth. And the papadams were great too.
Both of the biryanis were good in flavor but extremely oily, not like any biryani I've ever eaten. They gave me really bad acid reflux because of the excessive oil. I put a paper towel on my plate to absorb some of the oil, you'll see in the pic attached. Disappointed because we spent $$$ money and it was a treat. If we do come back we'll try the curries or the other items customers liked.
Edit: That being said I appreciate the response from the restaurant and I raised my review to 4 stars because you responded very kindly and I appreciate that.
This is one of my favorite “go to” Indian spots in Southern Connecticut. The seasoning is on point… different seasonings for each dish, instead of a generic blend. The lunch special is generous, we usually order the fish which is available on the menu by the register and a side of channa saag. We have always been treated with kindness which matters significantly imo. There’s parking outside and the inner space is clean, cozy and laid back.
I love the food here 💯 Everthing was on point.. It's designed like a food shack in India 🇮🇳 and I love it..
