Reviews
• “The Chicken Dum Biryani tasted just like Hyderabad—layered spices, tender meat, and enough leftovers for tomorrow. Staff split it for us, unasked, so we could share. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
• “Loved the vegan Malai Kofta—creamy yet dairy-free! Only wish the spice level ‘medium’ had been hotter, but flavors were on point.”
• “Delivery arrived steaming. The Tandoori Mixed Grill still sizzled when I opened the box, though the shrimp were a touch over-done this time.”
• “Lunch buffet is a budget lifesaver: fresh naan keeps coming and the Butter Chicken never sits long. Dining room does get loud around 1 PM—go early for quiet.”
• “BYOB policy rocks! Brought a chilled rosé, paired it with Lamb Rogan Josh, and the staff supplied ice buckets with a smile. Dessert list is short, but that Gulab Jamun Sundae hit the spot.”
