Samosas were crispy and flavorful, and the shahi korma was packed with spice on the medium spicy level! Would always recommend to somebody who wants something a little spicy but not too overwhelming! Chicken was nice and moist and the veggies in samosas were fresh.

Samosas are huge (you get 2) and perfect. The Garlic Naan is one single piece about 12 inches diameter and delicious! The chicken Royal Basmati Rice "Biryani" is also delicious and had the perfect amount of chicken! The Biryani is definitely on the spicy side. As someone who can tolerate a minimal amount of spice, it was probably the max amount of spice I could tolerate and still enjoy the dish when it was warm (room temp is almost no spice noticeable).

I eat Indian at least twice a month, sometimes twice in one week, and tonight's dinner was hands down the very best Indian dinner I've had in YEARS! Thank you so much for allowing me to substitute one ingredient in one of the entrées. Both entrées were absolutely fantastic! Worth every penny!
I got Aloo Gobi w/peas, and Shahi Korma Vegetable. Both were seasoned perfectly and portions are generous. Thank you so much!!!

Best Indian food in RVA. Malabar Curry is unique and tasty. Saag Chat also excellent but does not deliver well. The only miss I have encountered are the Paneer Pakora - very different from typical pakora and do not prefer them.

I came here tonight on Christmas Day. I intended to go to a Chinese restaurant, but seeing as the wait was so long I came here and was greeted with the most optimistic hosts and welcomed into a beautiful dining area. Sadly I got takeout and couldn't stay, but the food was delicious, the lamb so tender, and it left everyone in the family satisfied. Thank you!!
