“ I love this place! It's one place of the best authentic Indian restaurants in North Carolina. Must try the tikka masala here it's fire. Thank me later! And the garlic naan. ”
“ Food was phenomenal and ample. Service was quick and attentive. Also, shouldn't be afraid of the dine-in experience, unless you're expecting some high class amenities. Thank you Charlotte ”
“ This is the best Indian food I've eaten in Charlotte, actually probably in my life. Its incredible. But a few caveats first: 1) Don't eat in. This is a tiny hole in the wall, they have tables but its pretty clear they are setup to be a takeout restaurant. The service was fine, but don't waste yours or their time eating inside. The food is still served in the takeout containers at the tables. 2) It can have long wait times, but again its really good, so its understandable. Order ahead and don't expect to pick up your food in 15 minutes. Now the food. The Biryani is to die for. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, tons of it and lots of chicken. The yogurt sauce is amazing. The Chicken Kadai is bursting with flavor and the Spinach Saag I think it was my GF ordered was delicious as well. Their naan is out of this world too. I've eaten there several times and the rest of the menu looks great, but the Biryani and Kadai are so good I just cant bring myself to order anything else. Everything has nice big servings too. If you are ready for a delicious Indian take out meal, this is the best you are going to do in southeast of the country. ”
“ Oh My Oh My how delicious this meal was. The Butter chicken was fabulous, yet the Chicken Curry was the star of the show. ( i chose medium, yet i could've went up a notch in the heat level) i can't leave out the garlic naan it also was delicious! Everything was delicious, meat was moist and tender. This place is a hidden gem, yet apparently the none stop-to-go orders agree. I can wait to return. i'm not a food snob, my philosophy is if i can't , nor don't want to, make it at home I enjoy those who prepare it for me. 5stars Right here!!!! ”
“ I tried the paneer tikka masala with onion added today for lunch. I thought the food was pretty good. It was reasonably priced and had a nice spicy kick to it. I like my Indian food spicy. The setup is very traditional/bare bones. Your food will come on a tray cafeteria style. In India though, the culture does not expect tipping so I was not upset ordering at a counter and bussing my own table. It's all about the flavor and service really isn't their jam. You don't have to tip. I thought (while tasty) my curry was a tad greasy which is why I give it a 4 star. ”
“ I love this place!! Their samosas are top tier!! I once got the appetizer platter with the pakora but didn't love those, a little bland in my opinion. I've had the butter chicken here as well but I just love the Chana masala over that and I add extra vegetables. Their naan is amazing have to do the garlic, I'd eat here everyday if I could. They're only open for takeout and it's never too long of a wait for your food. I've never had any issues with them. ”
