Food was not good. I was so disappointed. The only thing I can recommend is the samosa. Didn't dine in so cannot speak on the service. Food was ready fast for our takeout. Oh and I've never had band naan so idk how that happens. The naan tastes like they used oil instead of butter smh. I doctored it when I got home. Added butter, salt and garlic.

I don't normally post bad reviews but good is good and bad is bad and this was the worst! I was really excited to try this place because when I worked DoorDash I picked up a lot of orders from them . So imagine my disappointment when I received my order. I ordered tandoori chicken one of my favorite foods. But sadly my chicken was at least 3 days old and completely tasteless. It was as if they put red food coloring on it and baked it without seasoning last weekend. They also topped it with green peppers and white onions instead of red onions and cilantro. 0 out of 10 don't recommend.

Oh My Oh My how delicious this meal was. The Butter chicken was fabulous, yet the Chicken Curry was the star of the show. ( i chose medium, yet i could've went up a notch in the heat level) i can't leave out the garlic naan it also was delicious! Everything was delicious, meat was moist and tender. This place is a hidden gem, yet apparently the none stop-to-go orders agree. I can wait to return. i'm not a food snob, my philosophy is if i can't , nor don't want to, make it at home I enjoy those who prepare it for me. 5stars Right here!!!!

Terrible customer service and unnecessarily long wait time. I ordered through the app which says the restaurant opens at 10:45am. Apple Maps says the same thing. Pickup time was 11am. At 11:04 the door was locked so I called. I had to call to get them to open the door and cut on the OPEN sign. I was then told my order would be ready in 10-15 minutes as they just got here and don't open until 11am. Annoying, but understandable.I walked back in at 11:20 and was told it would be another 10-15 minutes and they would call when ready. I watched 4 people walk out with takeout orders and a couple walked in and have already begun eating. It wasn't until I walked in again at 11:42 to check and saw multiple bags sitting that I finally got my order. Didn't even receive an apology for the wait. At this point, I don't plan on coming back.

I tried the paneer tikka masala with onion added today for lunch. I thought the food was pretty good. It was reasonably priced and had a nice spicy kick to it. I like my Indian food spicy.The setup is very traditional/bare bones. Your food will come on a tray cafeteria style. In India though, the culture does not expect tipping so I was not upset ordering at a counter and bussing my own table. It's all about the flavor and service really isn't their jam. You don't have to tip.I thought (while tasty) my curry was a tad greasy which is why I give it a 4 star.

I love this place!! Their samosas are top tier!! I once got the appetizer platter with the pakora but didn't love those, a little bland in my opinion. I've had the butter chicken here as well but I just love the Chana masala over that and I add extra vegetables. Their naan is amazing have to do the garlic, I'd eat here everyday if I could. They're only open for takeout and it's never too long of a wait for your food. I've never had any issues with them.

This is the best Indian food I've eaten in Charlotte, actually probably in my life. Its incredible. But a few caveats first:1) Don't eat in. This is a tiny hole in the wall, they have tables but its pretty clear they are setup to be a takeout restaurant. The service was fine, but don't waste yours or their time eating inside. The food is still served in the takeout containers at the tables. 2) It can have long wait times, but again its really good, so its understandable. Order ahead and don't expect to pick up your food in 15 minutes.Now the food. The Biryani is to die for. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, tons of it and lots of chicken. The yogurt sauce is amazing. The Chicken Kadai is bursting with flavor and the Spinach Saag I think it was my GF ordered was delicious as well. Their naan is out of this world too. I've eaten there several times and the rest of the menu looks great, but the Biryani and Kadai are so good I just cant bring myself to order anything else. Everything has nice big servings too. If you are ready for a delicious Indian take out meal, this is the best you are going to do in southeast of the country.
