"By far the best and freshest Indian Cuisine in the city. Everything I have tasted on the menu has been amazing! Looking forward to trying everything! Convenient location and open late! I highly recommend"
"Two orders of Garlic Naan were dropped from my order and replaced with 3 Samosas. I wouldn't expect to get what you order here, but Doordash gave me fair compensation with no difficulties so I am still somewhat satisfied despite the meals feeling incomplete without naan. The entree portion sizes are good for the price when purchased BOGO however this is somewhat padded out being about 1/2 rice. The shawarma may be the best deal on the menu. It feels to be >1lb of a solid balance of meat, veggies, curry and tortilla for $8.50 which you are only going to beat at budget joints in Miami. It is a tad heavy on the curry sauce though. The quality would be slightly above average if it were not for one issue. The curry sauce contains far too much sugar; they need to cut the sugar content by 40-50%. I felt compelled to add water to reduce the sweetness even though I do not particularly want a thin curry. The Thai Hot curry is not Thai Hot, but that is fine and somewhat expected. It would be nice to have an option hotter than this though. The issues here seem easy to fix on the part of this kitchen. I hope they will improve order accuracy, reduce sugar content, and add more heat options. I may give them another shot in a year or so."

I order Thai at least once a week from different places (I like to try new spots) and the dishes here were the smallest I've seen.
