"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."

"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 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!"

"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."

"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!"

"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 food was delicious. The amount of rice was excellent for the food. The food wasn't too oily. The food was exactly as expected.
The dal container broke with delivery and the contents spilled. Otherwise, good food!"
"I ordered the pakora, and it was very disappointing. The inside was still raw, and it seemed like the pakoras were old and had just been refried. They also had a bad smell, which made them seem spoiled or no longer fresh. I couldn’t eat them. Serving food in this condition is unacceptable"

"The Shahi Paneer is so delicious. Very creamy and tomato-y. Slay!"
"The Chicken Tikka Masala was very good, and had a nice balance between the sweet and savory. The portions were solid, too. 5/5
Chana Masala - wife said it was really good. 5/5
Garlic Naan was tasty. A little spongy (probably since it was wrapped up), but perfect for tossing in the air fryer for a minute or two. 4.5/5
Veggie Samosa - very good. Nice balance of stuffing with peas and potatoes. 4.5/5
The Saag Paneer was good. Flavor was there, but the paneer wasn't fried/grilled/etc. 4/5

"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.

You can tell it’s made with quality ingredients and a lot of care. I also love that they use olive oil in their cooking—it gives the dish a clean, fresh taste without feeling heavy.
The portion was filling, and I appreciated that it was both healthy and packed with authentic Ethiopian flavor. I’ll definitely be ordering this again. Highly recommend if you’re looking to try something delicious and different!"
