"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 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."

"Spinach Chat was as amazing as other reviews suggested - tamrind goodness, what a special dish. Garlic Naan wasnt as soft/pillowy as I've grown to expect, but good vehicle for other flavors. 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. Definitely fresh and I would make someone go in just to share the Spinach Chat with me, so they could experience it!"

"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 food from Tikka stood out in taste the same way as I last dined there. They achieve a balance of flavors that's unparalleled. 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! Will certainly order from here again!"

"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."

"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 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)."
