"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 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)."

"A loyal customer of Taj of India for a decade now, this is the only Indian restaurant I'll order from and my go-to when I need a pick me up, when I want to celebrate something, or when I just want to treat myself. The Lamb Roganjosh is so warm and flavorful, and it literally melts in your mouth. Even the rice it comes with is fragrant and tasty on its own. The butter chicken and the tikka masala are also part of my regular rotation. The Garlic Naan is perfect by itself or dragged through sauce, and the cheese naan is just as good. I also love getting a side order of the Daal Soup and adding the Rice Kheer my cart right before I check out because I can never resist it --- perfectly creamy for dessert but not too sweet, which is exactly what I like. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!"

"I rarely leave reviews, but today I felt truly compelled to share an exceptional experience. I had the pleasure of speaking with Chanel (I hope I’m spelling her name correctly), and her kindness left a lasting impression on my family and me.
I called Malai to ask whether their ice cream was prepackaged, as my daughter is currently in the hospital and can only have prepackaged items due to her doctor-prescribed limited diet. Chanel was incredibly patient and understanding. She carefully explained which ice creams were prepackaged and let me know what was currently in stock. She even stayed on the phone with me while I placed my order so she could personally accept it, ensure the correct prepackaged ice cream was selected, and pack it properly for my daughter.
Chanel went above and beyond in every possible way. She kindly offered to add an extra pint at her own expense. I politely declined, and when she spoke directly with my daughter, my daughter also said no. Chanel then mentioned that they had popsicles and asked if my daughter would like one instead. My daughter happily said yes, and Chanel added it to the order, telling her it was a gift from her and wishing her a speedy recovery.
Even then, her generosity didn’t end there. When the delivery arrived, Chanel had quietly added another pint, purchased out of her own pocket. I have never experienced such genuine compassion and care from anyone in a business setting. She did not have to do any of this, yet she chose to do so purely out of kindness for my child.
Malai Restaurant is incredibly fortunate to have someone like Chanel on their team. She is truly an extraordinary person. My daughter and I would love to meet her in person once she is out of the hospital in a few months. Chanel made our day during a very difficult time, and I cannot thank her enough.
Thank you so much, Chanel."

"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.

I typically order their Homemade Baked Mac & Cheese , which I'm very picky about mac & cheese, and their's def gives home style comfort food , along with their 3 piece chicken (spicy lemon pepper) which is delicious. Also, their waffle is to die for. Great place for comfort food! "
"Omg I was skeptical, but my meal was amazing, well seasoned, fresh, great quality food. The mac and cheese taste like grandma's hands down the Bomb. The half and half tasted so fresh. This is the spot for southern food . I can't wait to try the waffles.THE BANANA PUDDING IS 100000000 amazing.

"Palak Aur Kajoor chaat was excellent. Butter chicken was good. Could have used more chicken. Chaat reheated well in the air fryer. I'll definitely order that again. Paneer dish I got last time was very good too."
"Chicken Korma came with rice and was excellently creamy and rich. For the price, I was expecting a much bigger portion size.
Tofu Manchurian wasn't my favorite because it was a softer tofu than I was expecting. It wasn't crispy in the slightest, it sits in a thick liquid and is soggy. The flavor was good though, it has a tiny bit of spice that builds."

Butter Chicken ★was more heavily spiced than usual, but quite tasty. Vegetable Samosa ★ Ⓥ were quite fragrant with a lovely crust. Reasonable portions and price."

"Super amazing!! We have tried so many indian places in the area and this is top tier with Indigo. This place reminds me of my childhood in texas eating at indian buffets with my family. The portions are amazing and so worth the price compared to other indian joints.
