Everything was INCREDIBLE!!!! best indian food i've ever had. The malai kofta, chicken tikka masala and butter paneer were incredible, and perfectly cooked, not to mention the garlic naan!

Absolutely delicious. Excellent value. Every note was followed - which never happens. Above and beyond in every way.

Tandoori Chicken was extremely well made, albeit a little saltier than I usually eat.
Shahi Tukda is one of the best sweets for me and Swadist never fails to deliver a great piece of it.

The Mughlai-style chicken biryani lacked flavor and was quite bland. The chicken itself was average neither particularly fresh nor stale, but also lacking in taste. However, the raita was creamy and enjoyable.
In Jersey City, it’s tough to find good, fresh food. After reading the reviews, I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately, they’re just like the others, serving old, pre-made food.
