• 7/17/23I got the Tandori Chicken (extra chicken) 2 Veg Samosa (2 Pieces) and Lemon Rice. The chicken and rice were immaculate, i would really recommend the chicken and rice if you're tryna stay fit but are craving a cheat day that won't throw you off track. I had a good helping and felt great afterwards!

• 12/21/24First time trying and thoroughly pleased with everything. Good portion sizes and so flavorful. Pick up time was exact on the door dash estimate and super fresh and hot after getting home. Lamb Bhuna with meat so tender. Goat Cheese Naan and Onion Kulcha delicious and fresh. Gobi Manchurian the best cauliflower I've ever had. Jeera Chicken very tasty. This place ranks at the top of Vacaville restaurants for me.

• 8/1/24First time ordering from this establishment, and I must say I am impressed. The Butter Chicken is delicious. they give you a good amount of chicken as well. The Garlic Naan is something special. fluffy, flavorful goodness. I also love the fact that I can request not to have my dish spicy. A lot of indian restaurants don't do that. overall, I would give this a 10 out of 10. will definitely be ordering again

• 6/3/23Everything we ordered was delicious. Way better than Clay Oven... my three year old (who loves spice) downed the Methi Malai Paneer like a savage. This will be our new go-to Indian spot. Also love that they don't charge extra for plain rice like the competitors do now.

• 10/19/25Easily the best Indian food I've ever ordered! The portions are generous and the flavor is absolutely phenomenal.
My extra hot Butter Chicken was perfectly executed—delicious, genuinely spicy, and had the best flavor I've ever tasted in a butter chicken. My wife loved her hot Chicken Tikka Masala as well. Do NOT skip the Cheese Naan; it was the softest, cheesiest, and the absolute best naan we've ever had. 5/5 stars! Highly recommend this place.
