I dined in last night and have no complaints. The service was attentive and the place filled up around 7:30. While I initially felt they were trying to turn the table, that energy dissipated and my friend and I sat for hours catching up, having our waters refilled repeatedly. Veggie samosas were a hit (maybe slightly overcooked on the outside but well flavored inside). I enjoyed the tarka daal (hot) with garlic naan. The consistently and spice level were perfect IMO. Garlic naan is some of the best I've had in/around Atlanta. It flakes and stretches in equal measure which is a difficult balance to strike.

This is a local fave!!Service here was welcoming, Warwick and efficient! Food came out quickly, good portions and they will prepare entrees to the spice levels you desire. In all my years of coming year I have never had a bad meal. All the nan is also made to order. Garlic and the cheese are my favorites. They also serve beer and wine. Decor is traditionally Indian and very beautiful!

On the hunt for a late night take out spot I landed here. I am still on the hunt, but sometimes you have some stops along the way. Looking at the menu I was a bit taken aback by the entrees being $15+, I guess inflation hits. So I stuck with the snacks: halim and chicken 65. Halim has been my latest fascination with a spiced up lentil soup. Though this one was a bit of an odd flavor and unclear why there was such a big lemon chunk in the bowl. Definitely under seasoned for me and the lemon left an off taste.The chicken 65 came with a mayo sauce. Though the chicken itself looked amazing and had all the visual cues of chicken 65 though tasted bland. The mayo sauce was a nice way to break up the bites, but honestly there wasn't any spice and it just felt underwhelming.Overall, checked this place off the list. Maybe the expensive entrees were better, but the snacks I got were not.

During my recent visit to Atlanta we went here not once but twice. It was THAT good. My niece and I went one night for dinner and had the best experience ever. All of the wait staff were excellent, we especially enjoyed Nabil who was hilarious! We couldn't decide between the chicken 65 and the Tandoori wings. We went with the wings but were pleasantly surprised when Nabil also brought us the chicken 65. While both were delicious the 65 was our favorite! We also ordered butter chicken, veggies and garlic naan. The butter chicken and naan were spectacular but we didn't love the veggies that were a bit mushy for our taste. Surprisingly the star of the show, that brought us back again 2 days later was the hot masala chai! I still dream about that chai, it is truly magical. All in all we love this restaurant and it's now on my list of places to eat while in Atlanta.

This place is still as good as I remember it to be. My now husband and I went on a "date" after the movies here a few years ago.We went back this past weekend to order take out after seeing a movie. We ordered the chicken biryani which was very good with the right amount of medium spice. Portion size was good and filling!

Walked over from the beltline for an amazing meal. Many things were ordered.... Couldn't help ourselves. They ask what level spice you would like for each meal order that requires it. We started with the mango buttermilk drink - creamy and delicious. Next we had the wings - spice level hot. I kinda died but I came back. (I am a poor marker for spice, I can't handle it) the dinner for two came out perfectly. And we also ordered the chicken biryani (yellow rice) which was top notch. The last thing to come out was the proteins on the sizzling platter. It was on the back of the menu and I would be wrong to even try to a name that I can't remember. The service was amazing, the staff was attentive and asked how each plate was also checking spice level. They made great suggestions for us to try and I'm really glad we tried it! Inside is quiet and the decor is very pretty and detailed. Lots of take out orders headed out which only supports how delicious their food is. I believe the back parking lot may require validation and the front parking lot is Trader Joe's and they are strict about their parking. Just a heads up! Unsure if they validate parking but worth asking! Enjoy!

Usually good Indian places are outside the city, but surprisingly this place has good food. It's only a short walk from Piedmont park. I've been a few times so I'm overdue to write a review. Now, I will say on this last visit, the Tarka Daal was quite salty and the shrimp saag wala only had a few pieces of shrimp; MAYBE 4 and the dish is $18 so rightfully so thats a turnoff and probably wouldn't order it again. At least with that protein. We also ordered the Bhindi Okra and 2 orders of garlic naan. Both were good. It's a small place and it's not busy when I come which can be a good thing cause you'll always have a seat but on the other hand, concerns you a bit. They're attentive as well. Parking is free for 2 hours and it's located upstairs in the Monroe Drive plaza.

In the Atlanta area for a special occasion, stopped by Desi Spice Indian Cuisine which was in the area -- technically in downtown Atlanta.Group of five incl. family and relatives, got seating inside.Here is what our group had:- Chicken Tikka Masala (medium spicy)- Chicken Tikka Biriyani (medium spicy)- Goat Vindaloo (medium spicy)All the food was really good here.Rich, and flavorful dishes. Each with their unique taste and flavor.Chicken Tikka is a bit on the sweetish side, so I recommend getting at least medium spicy.We also got the Chicken Tikka Biriyani, rather than the normal Chicken one. It is the dish with rice, and was similarly pretty spot on.Goat Vindaloo is flavorful, but a deeper, more refined kind of richness. It was also really good.All in all, two excellent dishes, plenty of garlic naan and basmati rice to go around, and the only negative I found was the smallish quantities for curry (sauce) and pieces -- sufficiently enough for five people to share, however.All in all, this choice was a shot in the dark, but turned out to be really well in practice. Great flavors and quality of dishes here. Highly recommend!

Probably the best Indian food I've had! The goat korma was wonderful--I asked for extra spicy, and they delivered the most delicious dish with heat that didn't overwhelm the creamy onion flavor of the korma. The goat was tender with great selection of meat to fat ratio. The jalfraizi was decadent and delicious with the acidity cutting through the thickness of the korma. The naan had to be the fluffiest and most savory naan I've had. The mango juice was just what I was looking for, sweet but not thick as lassi would be. The service was good, and the restaurant was cozy with beautiful decorative components. A cute date night for my boyfriend and I after not seeing each other for months.

We came here on a Friday night probably an hour before they closed. They were very hospitable and the service was pretty quick. There was a party of about 8 at another table but other than that it wasn't very busy. The samosa and the garlic naan was delicious! I didn't care for the lamb tikka masala though. I feel as if the lamb should've been cooked longer. It was very hard to bite into. The chicken tikka masala was pretty good. If I want late night Indian food again, we would probably return.
