    The owner is very sweet and the service was quick. Had a lovely conversation with the owner about local Indian restaurants and he was very appreciative that came to give this place a try. He even gave me a bottle of water for the hot summer day.

    This is a great take out place for Indian food in the heart of huge concentration of Indian food outlets. The owner and the staff are friendly and take pride in their product. Recommend vegetarian lunch thali. There are a few tables to eat in, but essentially a delivery or a take out place; that's why only 3 starts for the atmosphere. It's a very clean, well kept place and easy to reach with own parking.

    This restaurant was the best Indian food I’ve ever tried in the entire U.S.!!! The flavors of everything were so nice and the biryani was cooked super well and the rice was pure perfection! I would definitely recommend to try this restaurant as every dish we ordered, was absolutely delectable and amazing. Hospitality and service were top notch and owner is very very nice guy who will listen to you.

    "Aromatic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked – this Veg Dum Biryani was a pure delight!
    The rice was fluffy and infused with layers of spices, while the vegetables were tender and rich with masala. The dum cooking gave it that authentic, smoky flavor that lingered beautifully with every bite. Paired with refreshing raita, it was a complete, soul-satisfying experience.
    What made it even more special was the owner's warm and welcoming nature – they treated us like family and ensured we had everything we needed. It's rare to find such hospitality along with such amazing food. Highly recommended for both the biryani and the heartfelt service!"
