Incredibly good food, tried most of the vegetarian curries and they're all super delicous! Baingan Ka Salan and Oyester Mushroom are especially amazing. Rice is complimentary, but their Jeera Rice and Coconut Rice are so tasty I always get them too

This is honestly some of the best food Santa Cruz has to offer and easily the best Indian food in town. I cannot recommend it more highly. Murg Malabar, Dahl, Butter Chicken, Cheese Naan. Amazing.
If I have any critique it would be that I wish the Masala was less sweet, and even then I never fail to order it.

The Palak Paneer was surprisingly well made and the gravy looked like it was indeed freshly prepared with Spinach instead of the questionable green gravy that most other places put - the Shahi Paneer was perfectly spiced with cashews we could taste in the gravy! The Onion Chilli Kulcha was again well done with generous and even filling on the inside. This place flew past my expectations for a late night order and then some! What a revelation!

The paneer tikka was very dry and burnt edges and I literally got 4 pieces of paneer, the amount of food I got for $20.00 was a joke. The flavor of the food was blah, not to mention they gave me half of a small naan. I really wanted to like this place, and probably won't go back.
Also, please don't forget to give your take out/Door dash orders utensils and napkins!

Perfect, as it always is. My favorite spot on Door Dash to get delivery from. Everything I have tried is outstanding! The Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken, perfect spice and temp every time I order :)
