Loved everything except for the roti. Faves are Chicken Korma, Chicken Himalayan Momo (yummy- a new fave!), Lamb Korma, Lamb Makhani (a new fave!), Onion Bhaji - large portions, great taste!

The Chicken Coconut is so tender and creamy! The Butter Chicken is rich and tender as well. Their Raita is cool, fresh, and sweet and lent a beautiful balance to the other entrées. Generous amounts of rice came with each dish. We ordered the Aloo Gobi as a side vegetable but it definitely stands on it's own as an entrée. I will definitely order this again!

Ordered the jackfruit curry extra spicy and it was delicious. The daal was creamy and packed with flavor. Samosas were fried to perfection and brought back memories of eating them as a youth. Rice is included.

I've been wanting to try this place and what a disappointment. Flavorless. Butter Chicken was slivers of chicken, I think, and not much of it at all. I ordered rice because i didn't see it mentioned as "comes with" I don't need to try it again. Trader Joe's Saag Paneer and Butter Chicken is better and far less expensive.

The himalayan momo are absolutely fantastic! The lamb biryani is super flavorful, and the butter chicken is creamy and delicious. 10/10
