A little bit of a hole in the wall, I'm not going to lie, but you'd have to be living in India to be able to get this much really good food for so low a price.
We ordered enough food that the crew on duty were mildly concerned that we might have simply popped over from alternate universe of starvation, but it was simple the "I need to review this" lot. Four not-ungenerous eaters came out to a total of $60 for two chicken kebab, two beef kebab, an order of chicken korma, one order of garlic naan, two of plain (we like naan where I'm from), four samosas quite a bit larger than two babies' fists put together, an order of palak paneer, and ... some kind of goat thing.
That's not an insignificant haul. The kebabs were fantastic; spicy, good ground texture, very nicely grilled. The beef was slightly better in my opinion. The korma was incredible, though probably could have used a bit more heat; the chicken itself fell apart with just a little attention from the fork. The samosas had a flaky, crispy exterior filled (packed to the gills) with ground meat and pea which ran considerably hotter than the rest of the meal. I'm a burgeoning lover of the spicy, but these things ... wonderful, but slow-going. Naan's in the name of the place. The naan deserved to be.
On the down-side, the goat curry wasn't all it could have been. Goat is notoriously hard to capture just right for every eater -- or even most -- so it's hard to fault overmuch. And they had no keema naan, which is a sad realization for folks like myself who can't get enough. A solid chicken keema naan will drag me in to a restaurant from half a state away.
Overall, this is a very, very solid win for Indian in the Gwinnett Place area. While the decor isn't a place you'll want to throw your next baby shower, if you're looking for the food and nothing but the food, you want it fast, good, and cheap -- this is the place. Order a kebab and an order of naan, strip the stick, make a sandwich, and you'll be having some of the best food in town clenched in one fist and at a very...

From 2014 to 2022, I drove to this restaurant from Marietta area (~an hour long drive) for goat korma, beef kabob and few other menu items. All those time, food quality and taste was worth for an Asian family to drive an hour and back an hour along with money spent on gas.
Now in 2025, I visit this restaurant with family and it DIDN'T feel and taste the same. Some positive changes like seating, fresh paint and new faces BUT quality and taste of the food has dropped drastically.
HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT was when asked if the management has changed, I was told that management has NOT changed. Change is evident and pretty visible when I was told this restaurant does NOT serve "beef" whereas I know that I used to order beef item (beef seikh kabob) in the past. So, why tell people that management has not changed. It is well understood that post a business buyout, new owners do NOT prefer to lose previous regular customer BUT giving false info will make a dent in customer confidence and retention. Be proud and vocal about a change in the environment and menu as customers always value that.
Also, all the RESPECT and understanding is there if the new management doesn't prefer to cater beef items but kindly admit that there is a change in management with new menu and taste :(
Unfortunately, a long standing...
Read moreThe establishment is now under new ownership, operated by Naan and Curry. Unfortunately, the front desk employee, Mr. Varun, comes across as quite rude and seems to behave as if he is the owner. He often appears inactive at his post and has a similarly unfriendly demeanor with other staff members. I noticed a significant decline in the food's taste. Additionally, they seem to be employing individuals who are not legally permitted to work. When I ordered a grilled item (Chicken Tikka Masala), I was instead served a fried chicken dish with gravy, which was a waste of my time, money, and gas. When I tried to express my concerns to Varun, he became defensive and refused to acknowledge the issues regarding their practices and the quality of the food. I also observed that the restaurant seems to focus solely on Punjabi cuisine rather than offering a broader range of Indian or Pakistani dishes. Their ability to cook non-vegetarian dishes has declined; for instance, they have removed all beef items and instead focus heavily on paneer dishes. Moreover, in comparison to last year, both the quantity of food served has been halved, while prices have risen by 50%. There seems to be a pattern of mismanagement affecting quality, quantity, and pricing. Overall, I am very disappointed with my experience and would not recommend this place to anyone—it's simply not...
