Excellent food and amazing service. The staff is very friendly, kind, attentive. The food is off the charts... fast yet no compromise on quality. Great place for a family or by yourself

Fantastic restaurant. Friendly service, delicious food, and parking was not difficult to obtain. I did find it a bit odd that the menu did not appear to have any lamb options, but they made up for it by having a seemingly greater variety of sweet/dessert options than most Indian eateries I have visited!P.S.Probably a good idea to clarify requested spice levels during ordering, if you palate is used to fare on the milder side.

Our craving for South Indian food led us here, as we wanted to avoid the drive to Artesia for the perfect dosa. Parking was a bit challenging on the weekend, but the restaurant itself was spacious and had a welcoming South Indian vibe. We ordered the Mysore dosa, lollipop chicken, and butter chicken. The lollipop chicken was a highlight--spicy, flavorful, and perfectly fried. The butter chicken was decent, though not extraordinary and it came with ghee which was a flavorful touch .The dosa, unfortunately, fell short of expectations; it lacked the signature crunch and crisp texture and was smaller than we anticipated. They had many info Chinese options which looked interesting. Service was satisfactory, and we appreciated that the food was halal. Overall a good South Indian food fix.

Food was good although didn't quite meet the expectations of the good reviews. The eggplant was good, but the chicken curry was salty. The garlic naan was dry. Service was great. Our server was friendly and food was served quickly. For a weeknight dinner, they had plenty of tables.

I'm not an Indian food expert, but this place is delicious! My friend and I were wanting some dosa and decided to give this spot a try. We shared a dosa and a chicken thali and both were very tasty. We felt all the dishes were well seasoned and had great flavor. The dosa came out perfectly crisp and paired well with all of the accompaniments. The thali had a nice assortment of side dishes, served with a roti and a pappadum, it was a delight and also very filling.I'll definitely be back.

Authentic indian food at this place.Kuli paniaram is like a rice bread ball with a puffy soft pillowy texture and it's dipped in the sauces. Delicious appetizer. I ordered the goat thali because I wanted to try a little bit of everything. It's spicy but tolerable for me. It came with rice, roti, and a crispy thing that is like a big chip with many sauces/curry, a soup, pickle, and milky dessert with noodles and raisins in it. Everything was interesting and it was delicious. Goat meat was nicely cooked. Service was fine. There was only 1 person and if you need anything you'll need to flag him, which is fine for me. My ratings are mainly focused on quality and value of food.

Authentic food. Except that they don't serve chai on the weekdays....Must try are the dosas and the idli and Vada platter.

Curry was lacking depth in flavor. We've tried the curry sampler, tikki masala and, butter chicken. None of them stood out in terms of flavor. Unfortunate service was also subpar. I ordered a roti to go with my curry but they misheard lassi. The server forced this disgusting drink on me because he claims he cannot take it off the system.

Where do I even start ? Beautiful clean restaurant with amazing customer service. The food was to die for I let the waitress pick some appetizers from the menu for us and I chose to entrées, the butter, chicken and garlic chicken kebab. It was amazing juicy and seasoned perfectly my one and a half-year-old loved it as well.
