I am not Indian, nor have I been to India, so I can't speak to authenticity. I do love food, however, and Tikka is fast comfort food you can rely on. The chicken is almost always overcooked, and I prefer it that way. The 3 Piece Gulab Jamun is the best I've ever had ( props to you when you add seeds please do that more often.) I usually get butter Butter Chicken (Makhani) and add chickpea + veggies. The medium size is enough for two and possibly leftovers. Don't expect prefection- expect yummy creamy spicy deliciousness and probably dry grilled chicken. That is really tasty.

Goat Biryani was terrible. I got this on BOGO and BOTH of my containers had close to TEN pieces of massive BONE and not even THREE pieces of protein. Rice was also cold and had way too much red sauce that wasn't mixed in sections. Overall terrible. Cheese naan also hardly had any cheese in it.

Mild chicken tikka masala sauce is truly mild, no real hot spice (1/10), chicken somewhat dry but flavorful. Was missing rice, and the dasher went back to get the rice. The store replaced the rice, and also added a complimentary dessert. Palak Paneer medium was 4/10 heat level. Both sauces were not as thick as I expected, and were smaller in size the expected (large = size of a meal prep container).

Wow. What heavenly food this is. No exaggeration. Whoever makes this food has exceptional talent. Can tell it is made with love and pride. I tried this restaurant for the first time a couple days ago and have ordered it every day since. I was very sick with Covid before I tried this. I needed food that was vegetarian, easy to digest and hopefully also delicious. I scored in all three when I stumbled upon this restaurant. I tried one of the lentil soups. That was all my stomach could handle during this round of Covid. I healed a lot quicker than previous times having had Covid. I think this food played a role in that. Not only does it taste good but it tastes healthy and like medicine. I can’t stop eating it now. This place is a vegetarian’s dream come true. Should be as popular as Mi Apa to be honest. Mi Apa is way too meat-heavy and meat focused. So this is better than Mi Apa in my opinion. But also the meat options here visually look delicious too

The best desi restaurant in Gainesville. They attend to my details, they cater with love! Their chicken biryani is my personal favourite and you can not go wrong when you try it with plain yoghurt. Having said that, they cook everything to perfection. My go to restaurant every single time. Please give your palate a masala roller-coaster.
