"DELICIOUS and beautiful! The Chicken 65 was a great amount of food and so was the the Butter Chicken Wings. I got medium spicy for both and it was the perfect "my mouth is tingly but I'm not dying and it's flavorful" level of spice I wanted. "
"Loved the dosa and chutney. Sambar was very less but otherwise everything was great. Felt satisfied with such a flavourful dosa. Have tried dosa at many other places but I was left disappointed by every other place. But from Sundara Everything felt fresh. Would definitely order dosa from here again. But then please give more sambar."

"I recently tried the goat biryani, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and well-balanced, with no unpleasant smell at all. The portion was generous, packed with tender meat that was perfectly cooked. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to enjoy it again!It would be great if they opened a branch in Stamford,CT
Having access to that delicious goat biryani nearby would definitely be a win for the community. "

"Based on food from around 10 to 15 different Indian restaurants, this place has the best South Indian food. Thank you so much! Special mention to the packaging for delivery. The only place that sends dosa separately packed so it doesn't lose its texture, shape, and crispiness. Kudos to your efforts and consideration."
"If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The food is absolutely delicious... authentic South Indian flavors, perfectly spiced and seasoned, and the dosas are wonderfully crisp. Just a tip: dosas are always best fresh, so I definitely recommend eating in the restaurant rather than taking them to go. South Indian food doesn’t travel as well, and this spot is worth enjoying in their location."

"The Fish Kolivada was a flavorful, spiced but not hot, white fish. you can taste the coriander (so good). There were two green sauces. No idea what they were, but they were complimentary. one was thin and sweet and one was like applesauce but taste like apple and tamarind. whatever it was, it was good. The Peshwari Naan was nice. slightly sweet like lightly brown sugared with raisins. The Cheese Naan taste like fresh garlic and cheese. it was ok. TheOnion Kulcha was good, too. If I hadn't had the other two breads, the Cheese Naan would've taste better. The others outshine it. The Mango Lassi came in and adorable milk bottle. Delicious! I'd want this and Peshwari Naan for breakfast and I don't usually like lots of sweets!"
"The lamb on the Lamb Roll had a dry,mealy texture like an old burger that sat in the back of the fridge for a couple weeks. The veggies were fresh but it couldn't overcome or make up for the unacceptable lamb. Chocolate Cake was moist and plentiful. It is extremely rich so I could only eat two small bites. The food here is normally amazing but this was a waste of my money."

"The Butter Chicken was good, and portion sizes are great as far as meat included.
Mini Samosas were good, the sauces included are strong but complimented well.
Garlic naan was $3 for one piece. And once I got it, it was very stale, crunchy and seemingly burnt.
I wouldn't go ordering extra naan. It's not worth the price and the quality is lacking."

Jhol (Soup) Mo:Mo [No Gluten-Free] was pretty good, I ended up liking the dough and the filling separately - clearly well crafted though, and I just eat weird. Side sauce did not have much flavor and soup base was not addicting as I like soups to be.

When I unwrapped the packaging of the Onion Kulcha I was hit with a burst of aroma! with every bite, I experienced the crunch of the onions and chewiness of the bread. The Amchur Bhindi Masala maintained the crunch of the Okra while the sauce coated the pieces. I was truly blown away by The dum Biryani With Raita for it's texture and incorporation of Jackfruit which did not make me miss any chicken! The raita had rock salt which just reminded me of home!

"They were out of spinach so I ended up with lamb rogenjosh rather than Lamb Saag but it was great! I'm not sure what some of these reviews are talking about when they complain about flavor. Most reviews were correct- very delicious, very flavorful- I almost wish I'd gone medium instead of hot/spicy for the two meat dishes as it was quite hot! But every dish was a party in my mouth from the Samosa Chaat to the Vegetable Samosa (2 pcs.)and the Chicken Momo (Nepali)! Glad I over ordered bc I'm happy to make several meals out of this. Highly recommend. So glad Methi is so close to me!"
"The Lamb Saag was so good. It was hot, fresh and very tasteful. Also a good portion. I didn't realized it was coming with rice already, so I ordered a size of rice, and received two. I guess I made a great mistake, now I have two complete meal lol . I will definitely order from this restaurant again. "

"The vindaloo was absolutely delicious, the portions were very generous for the price and it came with rice (which not all indian restaurants include with the main dish). You could easily get two servings or more out of one of their mains. "

"The Chicken Tikka Sub Sandwich is packed with anton of flavor and Great portion too!Ingradients are fresh and would definitely order again!!"
"Just kind of not good. Everything was oversauced to a kind of ridiculous point. Fries might as well have existed, the portions were so small. They have a decently-sized bag, but the bag was only half full. Did not feel good about that, and the fries themselves weren't that good either. Classic Bombay Smash Burger and Paneer Tikka Chopped Cheese would just be a lot better with half the sauce. "

"The Chicken Mayo Roll - Chicken tikka, onions and garlic mayo was good overall, but the chicken pieces were too big. Also, the sauce tasted more like cheese than garlic mayo but chicken was soft and flavor was there"
"the Paneer Tikka Roll was too dry. needed less paneer cubes and more rest of the fillings. the Veggie Cheese Roll was just... bad. too gooey but also bland and somehow old.
the portions are great, each Roll is enough for a meal but the flavor needs to be vastly improved. also the initial image is AI generated I think because they dont use flaky parantha just deep fried Rumali roti (which isnt bad but again, should not market it as flaky parantha)."

"Great portion size of the 16 oz Chicken Biryani! I got a meal for like the entire week out of this. It was delicious and still hot when I got it and the Mango Lassi was also delicious and smooth. The Samosa Chaat was also very tasty and great with crackers! Will order again again!"
