If you want quality indian food this will not be the place. Personally i didn't think it was bad to the extent that it deserves one star but my fellow coworkers will probably think otherwise.
My coworkers decided to grab lunch here and it was a disappointment. All of my coworkers are indian so they pretty much know quality and none of them were impressed. We got the banana pakora which was not what any of them expected. It came out as round balls instead of flat like a banana? This was actually pretty decent and we finished most of this dish. I got the chicken soup and it was okay. I have nothing to compare it to so i'm not sure. The assorted tandoori meat platter had somewhat dry meats and we didn't bother finishing it.
Vegetable vindaloo was okay i'm not a huge fan of spicy so this wasn't a hit for me. The chicken vindaloo was the same my coworkers felt it was only okay. I liked the butter chicken but i'm afraid only cause it wasn't that spicy and the chicken is boneless. The chicken tikka biryani was okay
The best part of the meal was the garlic nan. It definitely satisfied my carb craving and of course nan goes well with food or alone.
We got the rasmalai for dessert and it was interesting. Again my coworkers were not impressed and did not really like it.
The service was okay though! but that is probably cause we were the only people in the restaurant…
I feel like as a person that doesnt often eat indian food i would have eaten here and thought it was average since I don't have a lot to compare to. But my coworkers were not particularly impressed and some actually thought it was some of the worse they've had. They even assured me that this is not what good indian food tastes like. Needless to say we will definitely not be returning for future group meals.
When my husband and I were in the Brooklyn area, we saw this restaurant and decided to check it out. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which were boneless broiled chicken cubes, cooked with a special tandoori mild sauce. The dish was so flavorful – the sauce was thick and creamy, and the cubes of chicken were meaty and juicy. I was surprised as most of the Tikka Masala dishes I've tried lately were watered down and were not seasoned well. Wonderful fresh naan bread with a side of their basmati rice made this a perfect meal. The service was great, and I would love to go back and try out their other specialties. Definitely check them out if you're in the Brooklyn area!

We came here for dinner upon reading a yelp friend's modest review. Although the reviews that we read are mixed, we thought it was still worth a try.
We came here on a Tuesday night. Aside from a couple of diners by the window, we practically had the whole restaurant all for ourselves. The phone and the computer tho are making announcements every few minutes that there's an online or delivery orders.
The restaurant is immaculately clean. The tables are adorned with proper table settings. The waiters are friendly and attentive.
We started with a glass of Pinot Noir and ordered poppadom just for nibbles. It was served with tray of sauces and chopped spicy onion. We ordered chicken tikka masala. I found the sauce delicious but slightly thicker than the ones I tried in the past. The chicken Bhuna is a lentil based curry and the sauce is as thick as the masala. Both entrées was served in a copper tray with Basmati rice and Nan bread on the side.
When we asked for the bill, the waiter came back with complementary sweet rice pudding dessert.
I am glad that we came and dined here. The dishes did not blow me away but it's delicious and comes with fresh ingredients. The customer service and over all cleanliness is commendable.
Came here on a cold winter's night with my boyfriend. We ended up ordering a ton, including a bottle of Malbec which we could've gotten at a corner store for 1/3 of the price. Negatives were that they kept pouring my wine to the rim of the tiny wine glass, not allowing it to breathe a bit! Another negative was the assorted Indian hors d'oeurves we ordered – an assortment of items — all of which were fried. YUCK.
We also ordered: lamb dhansak (cooked with lentils and spinach) which was just okay; mixed biryani (yummy), Peshawari naan stuffed with raisin, coconut, almond (I thought it was just okay, my bf liked it). For dessert, we ordered the home made pistachio ice cream and they gave us a complimentary rice pudding (both of which I thought was just okay).
Overall, the meal was just okay and I've definitely had better. Service was very attentive and nice, but most likely wouldn't come again.
Not a fan at all. The place was empty on a Friday night which should have been a dead giveaway. The saag paneer was too thick and flavorless. There are so many great Indian restaurants in New York- go to them instead!
**Review for a pick up order**
Lapin and I passed by and I decided to stop in and order some take out. They had a special dinner to go for $16.95. It included samosa & pakora, a main course, rice with dal and naan, three condiments and dessert.
There was only one waiter and he looked stressed. The phone kept ringing with orders, seamless orders kept printing out more orders and he had roughly 6 tables.
I got the special dinner option. He didn't allow for much customization but instead of the chicken curry I got the Chicken Tikka. We had to wait almost 30 minutes for my food to come. The deal included a lot of food but the flavor and quality was a bit lacking. The samosa and pakora were average tasting. The chicken tikka came with almost no sauce. It was super dry almost like it was left over and reheated. The rice and naan was okay. The dal was watery had barely had any taste. It went down the drain. The condiments — meh. It was tasty but too watery. The dessert — what a joke! The container firni came in is the same container Chiptole gives for salsa or to put hot sauce in (Hale and Hearty also gives the same container for hot sauce as well). After two spoonfuls it would be gone. I never had firni before but it was very watery and had one or two "strings" of coconut (I am praying its not the pre-package ones you bake with). It was average tasting but I didn't finish it.
I feel a bit disappointed to give such a low rating since it nice to have an Indian place so close by but I wish they would improve on the quality!
This place isn't even trying. Sure delivery was fast but our food was cold to luke warm which could only mean one thing…it's not fresh!
the briyani was bland and tasted like it had been stored in a container and reheated. the tikki masala sauce was overly sweet and cinnamon-y and while the chicken was tender enough, the dish was overall an ultimate fail.
the naan was also old – it wasn't chewy and hot as expected but dry and flat.
i will never order from here again which is a shame because there is truly a lack of good indian restaurants in the BoCoCa area.
Already annoyed with this place before I even received my food….
I came here because I bought a Groupon deal. It was in the neighborhood so I figured I'd try it out. I notified the waiter that I would be using a Groupon and he immediately started trying to get me to buy other stuff that wasn't included. "Get naan bread." "You don't want an appetizer?" After I informed him that I only want the entree and included drinks, he said "ok you know you have to tip on the full $51 amount, right? Not just the price of the Groupon." -_- I had to let him know that 1) I am very familiar with how to tip when using a Groupon & 2) that I didn't HAVE to tip at all. He apologized profusely and he went to put my order in.
The food was ok.
I've had better.
He tried to make up for it by bringing us complimentary desert (rice pudding) but I was already turned off by that whole exchange.
I probably won't return.
