Food was great. Let's begin with that. Everything tasted amazing. Ambiance was fine. Nothing amazing, but overall clean. We went post gym and didn't feel out of place. Nothing fancy. The service was lacking. The server was almost afraid to talk to us. We waited a long time and when we got our food one of the orders was wrong. We literally had to get up and go find the server twice.

Went here for dinner last night, the dishes were well seasoned but I'd be open to trying something other than the appetizers I ordered as my meal. Restaurant reopened under new management! Excited to see the changes get some people in the door. Nice and clean, decor feels nicer than the menu price point. No wait, restaurant was really quiet for dinner.

Food and service are over the moon. Best saag paneer I've had in the southeast. Do not expect exact spice levels here - this food is authentic and not meant to be a made-to-order Chipotle bowl. Ambiance is not the focus but the stellar food will set the mood on its own.

This new opening with new management in Chapel Hill North provides Indian cuisine from their convenient location. We ordered Samosas, Lamb Korma, Chicken Biryani, and Peshwari Naan. All were Yummy. It's new, and deserves more patrons. There were 3 or 4 tables occupied, and service was swift. They have take out too. Give them a try!

The food is delicious! Ive had the butter chicken and mango curry chicken both are great! The price is also more affordable than many Indian restaurants in the area. They do seem understaffed so it may be a long wait on weekend nights. Definitely check it out!

I really enjoyed my Chicken Biriyani and Mulligatawny Soup for dinner tonight. They have a huge menu covering a wide variety of Asian and Indian cuisines. Judging from other reviews, all dishes seem to be as solid as mine were tonight. Take out was quick - about 20 minutes from order to pickup. I will definitely be back soon the next time I am in the area. Please support your local businesses!

Food was mid at best and is absolutely a take out spot. Inside needs a total renovation. Uncomfortable booths, sticky tables, poor lighting. Server was attentive at least. I changed my order to carry out it was so uncomfortable.

Ideal before or after a movie at the Chelsea! We had wonderful dishes at this restaurant every time we eat there, lunch or dinner. They are flavorful freshly prepared from fresh ingredients and more complex and delicious than in some other pricier restaurants. They offer Chinese and Indian dishes, both expertly done (As the French say 'comme il faut' (as they should be). The service is friendly and accommodating. The decor is relatively unassuming but pleasant and comfortable, the lighting just right. This restaurant easily gets overlooked in its mall location.

WE LOVE THIS PLACE! Everything we've eaten here has been excellent. The staff are incredibly nice -- they seem to be a little short staffed but I promise it's worth the wait! This place is much more affordable than other Indian restaurants in the area and the food is just as good (if not better)!
