*I've only ever gotten carry-out from here, so I cannot speak to a dine-in experience*Ordering online has always been easy and the food has been ready when estimated. It's a little pricey in my book, but I suppose not overly so compared to many restaurants in the area.My go-to is the Paneer Makhani. Other favorites in the family are the Vegetable Samosa, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Makhani, and Malai Kofta Curry. We also usually order some Garlic Naan as well.The only real catch in my personal experience is the parking situation. It is not located adjacent to any of the surface parking lots in Kentlands, so you will be walking a little bit from somewhere. I don't enjoy walking or driving in Kentlands because people seem to lose their minds driving in there for some reason, so you have to be on the look-out all the time.There is technically street parking right next to the restaurant, but it's hyper competitive, I wish there was a spot or two saved for curbside/pick-ups. I went to pick-up dinner a little after 7 yesterday (a Thursday night) and circled so many times, that it ended up being faster to park over by the Michaels and make the cold walk over. At one point a car was parked diagonally the wrong way in one of the spots, as in they swooped in to take it from the wrong side of the road. So you can imagine how much those spots are left purely up to chance.TLDR/ tasty food; good for carry-out if you are prepared to walk a little or can bring someone to hop out and grab the food.

This is a fancy looking place with modern decor and a beautiful bar area but all of that is hiding some issues with service that can't be overlooked. The thing is, I really wanted to like tandoori nights but 3 stars is being generous, it's more like 2.5 and you can get much better Indian food nearby without the service issues. I'll start with the food. It's fine. The chicken 65 is a good app and the saag ghosht had plenty of goat and it was tender and had decent flavor. Nothing spectacular but good. Garlic naan was actually great -- soft and garlicky but not overwhelming. The Malai kofta was good too. Good amount of koftas which is important too me -- not just loads of "gravy". The house margarita is a miss; just too much obvious margarita mix. The mango lassi is a better choice if you are willing to go without booze. All of that would be 3-3.5 for me. The kicker was the service. She was just so inattentive and rude. I ordered a chili paneer app -- she never brought it out and never apologized when I asked for it, just said she forgot and walked away. Hubby was less than halfway through his chicken 65 app when mains were brought out. Definitely some pacing issues. The thing is, there were literally only 2 other tables with customers in the entire restaurant while we were there. So not sure why all the forgetfulness and lack of attention to pacing for the next course but I can forgive that if there is some sense of politeness from the server. But we got nothing but silence. She didn't even check in on us to see if we need anything after we got our mains. We had to ask twice for the check and then the server lost our card and didn't even apologize for that! Luckily she found it but the service was Just ridiculous overall. Things happen, we all make mistakes, but be polite enough to apologize and admit the mistake not just shrug it off and disappear. I didn't yell for my missing app or the lost card or raise my voice in any way but any attempt to communicate was brushed off by her. Anyway, we won't be back and we wouldn't recommend coming here -- there are plenty of other places for good North Indian food in the area with great service too.

Came for their lunch buffet on a weekday and couldn't be more satisfied. Tons of vegetarian options and great chicken dishes as well. Samosas were flaky and perfect and the palak chaat is a must. The mango lassi was also perfect for a hot day. Would definitely come back here!Service was prompt and the restaurant was clean with a great ambiance.

My husband and I just came here a few hours ago for the lunch buffet. It was not too crowded and we were seated immediately. While the restaurant appeared clean and the staff were kind, I don't think I will ever come here ever again. The food was okay... not the best tasting Indian food but we digress. About 25 minutes after starting to eat, I began to get extremely bad stomach cramps and had to run to the restroom... I'll let you imagine the rest. In the past 3 hours I have not been able to comfortably leave my restroom even after coming home, I am very unwell (from both ends) and I have extremely bad food poisoning. While my husband is not feeling as sick as I am, he has also been dealing with an upset stomach since we came home. I really wanted to love this restaurant since I like Indian food but I question what is going on with the sanitation or cooking practices of this place if I am this sick.

When my daughters came home from college, all they wanted to do is have some good Indian food and this place had us talking about it for days. It's authentic delicious and there's a reason it's been there a long time!!

delicious tandoori items that you won't find elsewhere. the biriyanis are very good as well. the food is unique . not sure why it only has a 3.3 rating overall. the service is friendly and very forthcoming when it comes to food allergies.

We generally order from here for pick up. We ordered chilly paneer and butter chicken. Chilly paneer had a lot of artificial orange/red color and was very sour. Butter chicken gravy was watery and chicken pieces did not had any taste. The food was very disappointing.

The food is always good never had a bad meal at this restaurant. Service is very consistent slow, but the people that work there are very friendly. Not a great looking restaurant but who cares you are there for the food.
