We ordered samosa, veg. Biryani and tandoori chicken. Everything was super delicious. Biryani was the best and spicy just like the way I love. Staff is super generous. They even gave us a complimentary dessert. Everything was great. Must visit. Highly recommended.

The food is great! But there are lots of good places in Jersey for Indian food. What stood out here was the customer service from the person who picked up the phone and took the order, to the delivery driver. All of these things matter when ordering your meal. I can’t wait to visit in person. Also nice size portions. Even the rice is good. And don’t forget to try the sauces! They are also good too. I was pleased and satisfied.

The chicken biriyani we had was really great. The quantity provided was a lot. The food was really tasty. Also the perk is the free raita and the salad with the biriyani.

Best Indian food I’ve had in the cities and the service was truly superb - attentive, helpful, and so kind. It was our first time dining here and it won’t be the last, can’t wait to order all our favorites again, and try even more of the menu. What a delightful meal!

Ordered via UberEats on a Thursday at around 7. There was a promotion for BOGO free on certain items. So I ordered 2 chicken kadai (each comes with a rice) and 2 egg biryani, and an order of samosas. I've never tried either of the dishes but figured why not? It's BOGO and I can expand my palette on Indian food. I really liked the chicken kadai. The chicken was nice and tender, and the sauce was the perfect amount of spicy. The egg biryani was just okay - basically just seasoned rice with hard boiled egg. I probably wouldn't get this again. Samosas were pretty standard. The portions are big. We had SO much food that we had to eat this across 4 meals. Needless to say, we were pretty tired of eating it by the end. I probably wouldn't do the BOGO option again, but I would like to dine in and try some other dishes fresh.

Only con would be the restaurant just opened, so there arent many tables and chairs. No operating restaurant yet. I would recommend pick up or delivery for now until they expand.

I was in the mood for Indian and tried this spot. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. I ordered the shrimp kadai and it took about 15 minutes. I paid and left. When I dug in the meal was nice and spicy. I enjoyed the flavor. All in all I had a good experience.
