A couple of friends from church invited us out and suggested we find a local Indian restaurant. I Iooked here on Yelp and found this hidden gem!First, hidden because it's a small space tucked in between a Nail Salon and a Fed Ex Store. And by small, I mean like six tables. Clearly most of their business is takeout. Second, a gem, because I have not had such excellent Indian food since I left Chicago!This small operation, run by a couple of very friendly gentlemen, has a broad variety of Northern Indian, Southern Indian and Tandoori dishes. The vegetarian selection is massive and the flavors, are exquisite!If you are new to Indian quisine, the menu explains the contents of each dish, and the proprietor offered excellent advice relative to spice levels, etc.As there were 4 of us, and we like to sample different dishes we ordered Tandoori chicken Kabobs, Lamb Samosas (which came with Mint and Tamarind dipping sauces), Chicken Coconut Curry, Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and finally I ordered the Indian Kitchen Special Goat Biryani which came with both a wonderful gravy and some yogurt to rescue us from some occasional excessive spiciness. Oh yes. And Garlic Naan and Butter Naan both of which were to DIE for! The portions were very generous. Each, I would say was larger than one person could comfortably eat at a sitting. Needless to say, we took lots, home.The Samosas were excellent! Crispy in the outside, luxurious on the inside, and not too spicy even for me.Our friends and my wife all enjoyed their chicken dishes, although when someone from India says they are "not very spicy" remember that their palats are a bit different from ours. My friends tried to steal my yoghurt, and there was plenty to go around.The highlight for me was the Goat Biryani. Served in a decorative bowl with rice, chunks of goat meat, spices and lime wedges, it was a wonderful blend of flavors. The goat meat fell off the bones it was so tender, and with the gravy, each bite was filled with dozens of flavors. I plan to finish it for lunch tomorrow!Then, as if these guys, weren't already kind and patient, at the end of the meal they brought out a couple of sample deserts: a really creamy rice pudding flavored with spices we would never think of in the US, and another dessert that I didn't get the name of, that was a Carmel color and the texture of a, soaked bread pudding! Both were amazing and I'll need yo order regular portions next time.This was one of those great evenings where you try something new and hope for the best, and it totally exceeds your expectations.Even if you are new, to Indian food, you HAVE to try this place out. The service will surprise you, and the flavors will blow your mind

FYI that in the weekend they don't have lunch specials. I had goat dum biriyani for it was delicious, but unfortunately the goat was still chewy.This restaurant is a small business family owned which is great. I love that the family were working together in this restaurant either taking orders, preparing the food and clean the tables. I heard kids giggling in the background, it's remind me of the old days.Thank you for your delicious meal and happy new year!

We had delivery from this restaurant the other night and it was a mixed bag. The pakoras were strange and I got a bite of something so spicy that my mouth and lips burned for hours after. The naan was soft and fresh but bland and quite expensive (maybe because of a delivery premium?). The paneer tikka masala was tasty.

NEVER GO HERE. I am a vegetarian who doesn't eat meat and these people have mixed animal Bones in to the Vegetable curry that we ordered. I am so disappointed with their service for doing that. We ordered almost $60 worth and had left everything as although they refunded but I'm sick of this place. Have 0 trust on these people. Not worth any money and time at this place. Also I missed to mention that we ordered a Nan and they intentionally made something else instead of telling us that they don't have a cook that can make a NAN.Ambiance is like very small and chairs are not very comfortable they are like seat with a stick in the back.

The food is authentic and so flavorful. It hasn't been Americanized like so many other trendy places. It is pricey but worth it. Highly recommend!

Very rude staff. Very dirty restaurant. Saw roaches in the dining room. Bathroom was out of order. Witnessed rats in the kitchen scurrying. Don't eat here! There are much better Indian restaurants in the basin! Hyderabad House Arizona - Scottsdale4.3 The food is delicious and the staff treats people with respect the India kitchen does not!

We were looking for an Indian place specifically nearby when I looked up the menu for this one; it looked really good so we gave it a try!!The flavors are all super fresh and vibrant, the dal curry is delicious and perfectly spiced! I wish they had a vegan bread like a roti or something similar, but the curry was incredible on its own. The staff were wonderfully friendly as well, and the restaurant itself is cute and very cozy. Loved dining in there!Overall very excellent, highly recommend!

Paneer tikka masala was so good, I've ordered it twice already and they continue to exceed my expectations. It's a bold and rich ethnic flavor and the sauce is so creamy and perfectly seasoned. Their jasmine is rice is light and fluffy and the garlic naan is how I got my boys introduced to Indian food. I had them eat the Naan and dip it in the sauce and they ended up loving it. I also got the mango lassi and the color is so pretty. My boys thought it was a milk shake and it's sweet and smooth enough to be one. I also like that even though the food is really good, it doesn't come out of my pores like other Indian food. I went on a walk with my husband later that day and was warning him I might smell, but he didn't smell it at all. The employees are also very friendly and they are nice and speedy with the food service too.
