I had a chance to visit this restaurant on July 23, 2022 with my wife and I would have definitely rated it 5 stars without any doubts had it not been for one reason. They had good ambience, very tasty naans ( I tried Aaloo and Garlic naans) and Malai kofta. My friend who ordered chicken tikka masala was also very happy with the taste. Now I will speak about what spoiled my experience there. I had ordered Karahi Paneer there which was mentioned as chef special. I had asked it to be spicy at the level of 4 out of 5 expecting it to more than medium spicy. What came to my surprise was a horrible dish which was looking like few paneer (cottage cheese) pieces dipped in super super hot red chilly curry. The amount of chilly in that was not possible to to be consumed by any human. I wondered what it would had been had I ordered it spicy at the maximum (5) level. Also, the dish is expected to have lots of other vegetables like bell peppers, onions etc which were although available in the dish but in very little quantity. The gravy was very dilute with all chillies dissolved in that. Also, I don't know when these restaurants would understand that chilly is not the only spicy found in the world. When somebody is asking for spicy food, it is not just the chillies which you overwhelm his food with. This one thing spoiled my complete experience of dining there even when other dishes were reasonably good and I would have loved to rate them 5 had they done that dish right. The staff also should be able to explain to the guests what they mean by there range of spices. I have a taste for spices and mostly I am the last one among my friend circle who would ever complain about more spices in food but what they served to me two days back lingered on to my tounge for hours as a bitter experience and caused headache and sickness to my...

TESTING INDIA FOOD on Route 81. MUST STOP !!!!
If you're driving along Route 81, this place is a must-stop destination. It's a short detour that rewards you with incredible food and warm hospitality. And to sweeten the deal, there's a Costco gas station right next door, so you can refuel both your car and your appetite in one go.
If you're a fan of Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit! The naan was nothing short of perfection—soft, fluffy, and with just the right touch of charred crispness that made it irresistible. Whether you dipped it in the rich, creamy malai kofta sauce or enjoyed it on its own, every bite was a delight.
Speaking of malai kofta, it was a star dish! The soft dumplings melted in your mouth, bursting with flavorful spices, and the silky, spiced gravy was pure indulgence. It was the perfect blend of sweet and savory, with an aroma that made it hard to resist finishing every last bit on the plate.
The harmonious pairing of naan and malai kofta proved to be a match made in heaven, leaving us craving for more. Add to that the warm hospitality and inviting ambiance, and you’ve got a culinary experience worth...
