My review pertains only to the restaurant.

Maybe the best Indian food I've ever had. I had the Navaratan Korma on two occasions. Consistently very good. Serving size is generous. I also had a veggie puff pastry, which was light on veggie content, but very tasty with the pastry shell being super light and flaky.

4-2-2025 Update: Was there again yesterday and had one of the goat dishes. It was super flavorful and the most tender goat I've ever had. My wife had the Butter Chicken which was also very good. It seemed to me that the Butter Chicken sauce was quite similar to the Navaratan Korma sauce.

Things to know: Their food is spicier than most Indian restaurants. If you want medium spiciness, I suggest asking for mild. Lunch is served from 11 to 2:30. Dinner begins at 4pm. Puff pastries and some other items are only available for dinner. I was told puff pastries often sell out within the first hour or two. They have several Indian beverages and desserts. The dining area is very functional. It's a place for great food,...

I really like this store, and thought long and hard before writing this review.

Greed will be the downfall of this store. This is the only decent Indian grocery store in Woodbury (a city with a large and growing Indian population), and they can be really successful. But their prices are creeping up steadily, and they will soon price themselves out of the city. I went to buy packets of haldi-kumkum during a recent festival. I found a box with strips of these little packets (5 packets per strip), marked at $1 - or 20 cents per packet. Pretty steep markup, since these packets were marked at 1 rupee per packet, or .01 cents per packet! I picked up 15 of these packets, calculated that it would be $3, but at the cash register, I was shocked to see that my total was $15!! I asked the cashier with utter disbelief if they were really marking it up by 7,000%, but the cashier just shrugged and looked at me blankly!

I have told all my friends about this, and we might decide to boycott this store for...
