Passage To India

Good service, nice decor, but pretty basic and unimpressive food. We opted for the lunch special- the naan was probably the highlight of the meal. The rice had peas in it, which was a first. I also expected something closer to basmati... this rice reminded me of something I could make at home, not something you get at a restaurant. Service is friendly enough albeit not overly attentive. I loved the decor though, especially the beautiful doors. Overall- would not recommend and not planning on coming back any time soon. Garage parking across the street is very convenient.

Always my favorite restaurant to go to.Love the decor . We were there for a party . Menu was created according to the host . Rice , Dal with cauliflower yummy .My all time favorite was the eggplant dish . Paneer was good too . Fish and goat meat was very good .Best was the dessert Shahi Tukra and Dates kheer .Appetizers were veg cutlet and fish cutlet yummy .Full of flavor .Always enjoy their palak chaat .Must visit this restaurant.

Delicious, authentic mild Indian food - get the Beguni Khazna vegeterian Thali! The Thali is a great way to sample a bunch of Indian curries - Vegetable Korma, Paneer Tikka, and Palak Corn, Dhal Mahkani Lentils served with Basmati Rice, Raita yogurt, and Naan as well as a variety of apps - Samosa, Aloo Tikka potato patty, and Pakora crispy fritter. The $28 Thali was well worth the cost! The food was fresh, flavorful, and pipping hot! I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't spicy. I rarely see the 3 dishes - korma, tikka, and paneer served together in a Thali. It's hard to pick out a favorite curry, everything was very good. The crispy Samosa was my favorite followed by the Pakora. I mopped up all the delicious curries with the fluffy garlic naan. While the naan was good and had soft bubbly texture, it wasn't as pillowy soft as I hoped for and a bit undercooked on the edges. Hubby enjoyed the Lunch special Chicken TIkka along with Dhal Makhani and Garlic Naan and rice. There are about a dozen dishes offered on the lunch special. $12 was very reasonable for the lunch special and the quantity of the food. The homey ambiance with traditional photos of princes and vibrant heavy doors "dharwaja" reminds me of the restaurants my parents took me to growing up. Sonali, the restaurant owner, is very nice and hospitable. Her husband built the restaurant 25 years ago and passed away a few years ago. She does an amazing job running it (he would be proud!).Looking forward to coming back when I'm in the area for the Thali!

Loved everything we tried here from the samosa's to the palak chaat to the paneer makhani and especially the garlic naan. Everything was very rich and flavorful! The entrees also come with a side of rice and mixed veggies. Nice and quick service in a lovely atmosphere!

Oh-my-god!I enjoyed every single thing I ate. My pictures don't make the beauty of their dishes justice. I tried several different dishes and was lucky enough to be accompanied by my friend who is originally from India and ordered everything for me. With this, I can also say that their food is very traditional. What I loved the most was the calamari and their amazing lentils. Their samosas were also amazing. The service was excellent, everyone was welcoming and nice. The ambiance is alright, very traditional decor, I really liked their mosaic doors. I went there three days ago and already have plans for going back this week! I recommend that if you go in a group you order everything to share, everyone will get their own plate with rice and salad. Really happy with this find!

I enjoyed my in person dining experience. We hadn't been that keen to return after having a cashew dish last time that seemed to have turned but this time was smooth sailing. The dining room is nicely decorated and service is attentive. There are great, adorable lunch specials though there's a limited number of options, a few veg, a couple seafood, and a few meat options. Each is $11-12 and comes with rice and smoked black lentils and a very fresh salad of bell peppers, carrot, cucumber, and lettuce. Pay an extra $4.50 for a yellow lentil lemony soup, naan/roti, and rice pudding (though come to think of it, that never arrived). We really enjoyed the fish coconut milk curry which has a good amount of tang and complexity with quite tender fish, the stewed lamb roganjosh in a tomato based sauce, and the black daal which comes with. I do wish there was a little more rice with the dish as I ended up drinking spoonfuls of lentils and sauce at the end, and the fish curry could have had a few veg or something sprinkled in. There wasn't much heat spice but the flavors were quite balanced. We will definitely add this place to our lunch takeout rotation. There are a number of less American Indian restaurant standard dishes I'd like to try sometime when I'm not on the lunch special train.

Service and food here were excellent. Came here to eat dinner - we were a group of 5. For starters we got the cheese brochette tandoori (4.5/5) and chaat (3.5/5) - both were very nice, would have enjoyed a sauce over the chaat but nice flavors nonetheless.For mains I got the saag paneer (4/5) and malai kofta (4.5/5), and a roti and naan. We also got a mango lassi (5/5), which was just right.I would definitely come again, this is a great choice. The decor (menu and doors) were awesome as well.

Everything about this restaurant is terrific! Food location with easy parking Price pointAnd of course the food!!

Another hidden Indian place I've always passed by but never ordered from until recently! It's actually very good and I love the butter chicken, aloo chorchori, and samosas. The portion sizes are a bit smaller but nonetheless it's worth because the chicken in the butter chicken, chicken tikka and saag chicken melt in your mouth and are so tenders

The food was meh and expensive. Service was poor. Resting on past performance. Tired curtains and walls.
