    Really liked it! The atmosphere was nice and the playing of the food was very fancy. Chili chicken and naan were my personal favorites.

    Right away I was struck by the light and comfortable atmosphere! My appetizer: Samosa Chat - Fascinating and delicious! Great blend of flavors, and the hot/cold combo was fun. Try it! It was filling though, so plan to bring some entree home if you’re flying solo. My entree: Goat Dum Biryani (Medium) - Beautiful, first of all! New flavors popping out from bite to bite. If you get goat, you should expect to get your hands involved as some meat comes on the bone- don’t just “dig in” and chomp down blindly. That said, it was cooked tender so it came right off the bone nice and easy! Another review says it’s seasoned well, and they’re right! Great flavor, and the spice level was pretty perfect for a spice lover. Could take more if I had to, but it had the ole nose running! Only reason it’s not 5 stars was that I did have a bit of a longer wait than I expected with a mostly empty restaurant, but they were humble and apologetic! Definitely going back to explore the rest of the menu!

    Totally waste of money and food. This I asked for Goat Biryani and Chicken Tandoori. This was not Biryani at all. There were 2 leg thighs pieces for $16 (very expensive) and there was blood in it. I had to cooked properly in home. I ordered on call and they said it will be ready in 20 mins. when i reached there they said it will not take much time and i paid for it. I had to wait 30 mins after I paid in restaurant. They haven’t took my order that time on call and they started preparing when i paid for my meal. I had to throw 50% of food because it was not eatable. I attached the food pictures.

    I enjoyed all of the items ordered The naan was crispy and flavorful Appetizer Chicken Manchurian - Golden Fried Boneless Chicken Sautéed in Hot and Sweet Manchurian Sauce. 7/10 Lassoni paneer- Cubes of paneer marinated in spices and cornflour batter, deep-fried, and tossed in garlic sauce. 8/10 Chicken chettinadu-Tender Pieces of Chicken Tossed in Herbs, Spices, Onions and Cooked in Special Chettinadu Masala 7/10 Chili garlic naan- crispy and delicious. 8/10 The food was cooked well and had a lot of flavor. The only issue we had was that one of parties meals was not cooked at the same time. They got their meal 15 minutes after everyone else. Butter chicken

    This is quite literally the best Indian food in Iowa. I can not say enough good things about this place. Their portions are great, their service and cooks are so kind and the food is to die for. I love it here.

    This has the best chili garlic Naan!! Extra crispy love love it. The Apollo shrimp appetizer had amazing flavor. We ordered the Butter chicken and Lamb Rogan Josh. The Lamb was Exceptional. Service was just as good as the food. The basmati rice was less flavored than I am use to but the sauces from the entrees helped with that. The establishment and bathrooms were very clean. Will be recommending

    Great food! Great atmosphere! Seems like they struggle to keep good employees, so lately the service has usually been about training employees (which is fine-they need to learn), but as with any new employee, it’s usually not great service from them as they just have a lot to remember and deal with. Just be patient with your server - as you should always anyways. Food is worth coming back for more!

    This was the first time we have had Indian food and it was delicious! We had the chicken dum biryani and we had the garlic naan. The naan bread was so good and was nothing like the kind we get at Walmart. The meal was very good and flavorful as well. We also tried the masala tea and it was an amazing tea. The restaurant was clean including the bathroom. It was a very good experience.

    We had a group gathering here! Many dishes were shared. The service was so wonderful. The food was fresh and flavor amazing. The restaurant was so clean. I am thinking about going for lunch to have their daily lunch special.
