"I ordered from here and I’m so impressed. This hidden gem is actually located right inside an Indian market, which is awesome because you can shop while you wait or after you eat. The market itself has an amazing assortment of products, including all kinds of snacks, sweets, and everyday Indian essentials like fresh herbs, spices, and dry goods. As for the food, I got the chicken biryani, lassi, samosas, wheat roti, and gulab jamun, and every single item was an absolute hit. The chicken biryani was incredibly flavorful, perfectly spiced, and packed with tender meat. The samosas were perfectly flaky and crispy with a delicious, savory filling, and pairing everything with fresh wheat roti and a refreshing, creamy lassi made for the perfect meal. To top it all off, the gulab jamun was warm, sweet, and the ultimate way to finish. Beyond how amazing the food tasted, the wait time was super quick, and the pricing is incredibly reasonable for the portion sizes and quality you get. It’s a fantastic one stop shop for a great meal and your grocery essentials!"
"Great price. Freshly made. Size of large chapatti but thicker about 50 percent more than a paratha. It's just nice because they are not trying to do the shrink inflation thing."

"the Butter Chicken tasted really good, the flavor was wonderful. the only thing is the portion size was small for the price I felt they could have given more Chicken and a bigger container for that much."
"Everything was packaged well, no spillages. We ordered lamb biriyani, chicken karahi, pani puri, 2 garlic naan and mango lassi. This was enough for me and my wife for dinner and to return to eat as a snack later in the evening. We have had the lamb biriyani before, it is so flavorful and the portion is enough for me and my wife. The chicken Karahi was a first time for us and we both really liked it! I feel it would be better with goat or lamb so there is a reason for us to order again! The pani puri was delicious. I've watched it being eaten online for so long, finally got to try it and I would order it again! I wish more puri is served, maybe two or three more just to finish up the pani... the taste is too good to waste so I drank the water! Naan is cooked perfectly and thin and a great option instead of cutlery. The mango lassi drink is perfect to cool down your mouth in between bites, the sweet really goes well with the savory spice. It has a slightly thinner than smoothie texture. I'll definitely order again."

"Absolutely delicious food and great service! The lamb chops were perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. The chicken shawarma was juicy, fresh, and honestly one of the best I’ve had. Sorry I didn’t take a picture of the chicken shawarma first it was so good that I already bit into it and ate half of it before I remembered! I also got a side of fries, and they tasted exactly like McDonald’s fries. The pricing is super affordable, and you definitely get your money’s worth. It’s also located inside a store, which makes it even better because they have sweet treats, drinks, groceries, and even a butcher counter inside. Everything tasted homemade and authentic. Definitely coming back again!"
