Read moreDon't let the unassuming exterior fool you - this little restaurant in the middle of an older strip mall packs a flavorful punch. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the incredible aromas and friendly service. While the food is definitely the star of the show, the service is friendly and welcoming.
Now, onto the main attraction - the food. The restaurant specializes in South Indian and Nepali style dishes, and I had the pleasure of trying several of their signature dishes. The chicken 65 was fall-apart tender and packed with flavor, a welcome change from the overcooked versions I've had at other Indian restaurants. The chicken curry was also a standout, with the perfect balance of spice and creaminess. The chicken momos were a delicious and unique treat, and the veggie samosas were perfectly crispy and satisfying. And to top it all off, the mango lassi was a perfect way to cool down from the heat of the spices.
But what really sealed the deal for me was the happy hour. From 5pm-6:30pm, they have an amazing deal that is simply too good to pass up. It's the perfect way to wind down after a long day and enjoy some delicious food.
All in all, this is now my new favorite spot for Indian cuisine in town. It's a hidden gem that's worth discovering, with delicious food, friendly service, and an amazing happy hour deal. My only criticism would be that the service can feel a bit unorganized at times, but it's a minor issue that's more than made up for by the delicious food and...
Read moreI forgot to post my review from a couple of weeks ago. I recently started expanding my palette to trying Indian food. I'd had some from local places closer to where I live and where I work, but I was away from home watching a pet for a friend.
I had Indian food earlier in the week and I wanted more, so while I was in the area I decided to be adventurous and order their curried goat. I'd only had lamb roganjosh before, but I was optimistic.
My dasher messaged me to apologize for it taking so long, but I like to say that "all good things come to those who wait." Turns out, I was right to be optimistic!
It was first time eating goat meat and I really enjoyed it. I know that the textures of meat are different for everyone, but there's something about curried goat and lamb that really does awaken some sense of comfort food about it. For me, that comfort food is pot roast and I have to say that the curried goat was comparable to that for me.
The only downside, I didn't know there was meat still attached to the bones. There's nothing wrong with that, for me, but it's just tedious to try and get the meat off.
Mango lassi was the best mango lassi I've ever had and the kheer was so delicious and creamy. This will be my go-to Indian place whenever I'm in the area. Thanks for a...
