We've never eaten here before and after looking at menu and reviews we opted to try the Achari wings and 1/2 and 1/2 a speciality pie. We got the Achari Chicken wings which were big in size and very good. I was expecting more pickled spices flavor but it's a wings version and I didn't know what to expect but it was a dry seasoning and still very good and I'd order again. We got 14 inch pizza half chicken Tikka and half curry. I've never had an Indian fusion styled pizza before so didn't know what to expect but flavors were good but seasoned moreso dry and not saucey like you'd maybe expect from the inspired dishes. I think that's where people don't know what they are in for. It's a pizza and it's on a crust and it was really good hot and we'd eat there again. We did pick up and they have a full service bar inside and the owner or manager was super attentive while we were waiting on one item to be finished and made friends with some regulars while we were there. They have a great tequila selection and spacious bar that has very inviting energy to grab a drink. Definitely will be back. I gave 4 stars bc on website I couldn't figure out how to order and called it in instead and the young man who answered the phone said I could only get the 10% discount if I ordered online... I asked him how? And he wasn't sure but said he couldn't help me out bc that's just how it was. The price of these pizzas are expensive but everything over here seems expensive even Artichoke Joe's raised their food prices crazily but the pizzas are loaded with chicken so sign of the times... You gotta deal with it as the economy is screwed up. People are nice and food is very good....
Read moreBeing from Southern California, specifically Long Beach, means I’m constantly missing my Pinches Pizzas, and this joint is my NEW FAVORITE! We got especially lucky that the place wasn’t crowded. We were greeted warmly by stunning staff who made us feel at ease from the start. My partner and I chose the only table for two, but were encouraged to take a bigger table for more comfort. Already loving it! The owner Max, ( I think he’s the owner) personally fixed the table for us and proceeded to pass us the tablet to choose the music in the restaurant. Of course, I chose The Growlers/Brook Nielsen. The music lit the place up with fun and relaxing vibes. Max was quick to let us know he loved it, therefore adding it to the restaurant’s Spotify playlist. This wasn’t even the best part: THE FOOD🥹🤤. Hands down the best Tandoori Chicken pizza I’ve ever tried. We accompanied the delectable meal with some Noori Fries that were perfectly seasoned and had the right crunch/softness combo. The fries themselves smell like heaven, but the pizza stole the show. Not only was it prepared beautifully, it was delivered by the owner to us! A smooth mango lassi helped in between slices to cleanse the pállate. OUTSTANDING SERVICE, and an awesome owner. To top it off, we were invited to check out the back of the restaurant, “The Atlas Lounge”, which is dimly lit by the purple lights. A total experience on its own! We were notified that they hold music performances that we will 100% try to attend to. 10/10 stars if I could rate it that highly. P.s. I suggest going when it isn’t crowded if you’d like to have a...
Read moreWe came in here after work because it's an Indian Pizza fusion place and that seemed intriguing. We ordered a couple curries, a chili curry pizza, and some Biryani. The goat curry was pleasant, the veggie coconut curry was tasty but a little too much coconut not enough curry imo. The pizza..... this is why I came and I was a bit disappointed. The cheese was low quality, the flavor was overwhelmed by the green bell peppers as there were way too many and they were chopped so small that they were difficult to remove. The curry part of the pizza was impossible to taste and the crust was more doughy and thick than I would have liked. I feel like they really missed an opportunity to make the pizza on naan bread or with naan dough. There were two occupied tables in the restaurant. Our table of six and another table of three. Our waitress was inattentive at best. if we needed anything ever I had to get up and ask her. including to tell her that we would like to order our meal. At the end of the meal I had to ask her twice for our bill. We were never asked if we wanted another drink or water refills. We walked up to the bar for that. The bartender was a very friendly guy and we liked him a lot. But it was overshadowed by her inability to...
