    This place has risen to top spot for us when it comes to Indian food in Minneapolis/St. Paul. If you are eating/ordering one thing, its got to be Amritsari Kulcha, One of the best things I have eaten in cities, if you like spicy food go for level 4 but if not stick to lower numbers like 2 or 3. This place has real spice scale so be very careful if ordering 4s or 5s. Next few dishes we ordered and enjoyed were Saag and Makki ki roti, sambhar dosa which were top notch too. A few curries we ordered were pretty average, so I recommend stick to street food and you will walk out loving this place.

    The owner of this restaurant told me that he uses spices mixture from scratch. No wonder all cuisines tastes different and don't have an overpowering use of spices. Which is why you don't leave feeling bloated with spices but only filled with food and fresh ingredients made from scratch-which is how I expect my food to be made. The staffers and owners have acted on their passion and it shows on the food and their hospitality. BTW, the owner also told me that he backs up his food with satisfaction guaranteed - not happy with food you will be issued a full refund! Now that's how food businesses should be done! I have tried over a dozen Indian restaurants in MN, I can proudly say: this is the BEST Indian restaurant in MN!

    The place was crowded. Which raised our expectations. We heard good things about this place, he ce decided to celebrate my wife's birthday there. But was thoroughly let down. The food was just OK. Ambience was nothing to talk about. And service was just a joke. We were seated and then bot given water until 15 minutes. the waiters were like oblivious of our presence. Finally someone took our order without asking spice levels. We had to ask twice for water. So far we saw 3-4 red flags and finally our food arrived. Everything was banal. i wondered why is it so hyped. Only saving grace was Chole Bhatura. Overall below average experience.

    Absolutely atrocious service and very unfriendly and unwelcoming. There are plenty of people working but no one greets you or comes to take your order. No smiles anywhere to be seen. Waited for 15 minutes and left. This is the last time we will come here. This place also has a terrible and nearly unlegible beer menu. How they claim to be a brew house is frankly embarrassing to all other brew houses and breweries. It should stick with being either a Brewery or an Indian restaurant. There's too much going on here and it's certainly not their service. Look elsewhere.

    We love our Indian food and this has to be one of the best stops yet! You choose you own spice/heat level for each dish. We had the chicken vindaloo, Mango lassie(drink), Amritsari Chole Kulche and 1 serving of garlic naan. We look forward to our next visit as there are many more dishes we want. Restaurant was well kept and so were the restrooms. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend!

    It was SO delicious. It’s my favorite place to eat Indian food. They have vegetarian options and lots to choose from! They have shows that play on the tv and nice seating. I really love it! It also has nice staff and fast service. The chai is so authentic and has free refills. They give you different kind of sugars to choose from. For the food they always give all the dipping sauces!

    This food slaps. If you like Indian food, you must try it, if you've never had Indian food, you must try it. Everything we ordered was delicious. The staff was very attentive. And the food came out quickly. We will be returning here.

    I was able to visit this restaurant back in October and absolutely loved it. I’d never actually eaten Indian food before and the server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable regarding the menu and able to make excellent recommendations. While I have nothing to compare when it comes to other Indian style food, this was incredible and I will definitely be back. I was also impressed and pleasantly surprised at the beer selection, if you’re looking for some unique brews there is something for people of all tastes!

    The food and service was spectacular. If I had to be nitpicky I'd say the service was a bit slow but it didn't affect the overall experience and it was worth the wait. A great place to get Indian food, we can't wait to come back!

    As a Punjabi Indian and someone from NY with a taste for quality, this is one of the best authentic Indian restaurants in the country. The service is with a smile, with great recommendations and passion. The food is superb and recommend the mini roti, Maki roti and sagh, vada sliders and the dehi puri! Incredible experience.

    A nice Indian restaurant with authentic flavors and large quantities of food. Do not miss the iconic taj mahal beer to start your meal . We were a party of six and got the vegetable platter , channa kulcha , chicken 65 , and the tawa chicken along with a lot of indian bread . To end our delicious journey, we got some ras malais and kesar kulfi . Everything was so delicious but make sure you order less as the quantity of the food is a lot . Highly recommended if you are in the MSP area

    Heard about this place from my friend 2 years ago for the Amritsari chole kulchey. Finally we are here and it was worth the praise. Also they have a huge selection of vegetarian entrees which is rare in Indian restaurants here in Minneapolis. Service: 4 Stars Taste: 4 Stars Quantity: 5 Stars Vegan/Veg Options: 5 Stars We also ordered one idli sambhar for a kid and it was not good. Neither the idlis or the sambhar, chutney. I have heard that the Amritsari choley kulchey are the best when the owner i

    This place has the best makki ki roti-sarso ka saag! Lots of dishes that are worth exploring. The North Indian cuisine is a must try and they have some really good Indian booze options to choose from. Don't forget to try the authentic vada pav as well! On the whole, it's a really good place to check out if you ever make it to Minneapolis

    If you live around Brooklyn Park area (north of Minneapolis) and crave for a good Indian Cuisine, this should be your last and only stop. My husband and I have been in the lookout for really good Indian food around and glad we found this place. The staff is friendly and welcoming. We ordered Veg. Platter in the appetizer which had samosas, aloo tikki, aloo vada and paneer pakoras. Aloo tikki had an amazing flavor of mint, coriander seeds, cumin which is very unique from other Indian restaurants that you visit. For main course we ordered Mysore masala dosa and Amritsari Chole Kulcha and OMG!!! the kulcha was to die for…. Stuffed with cottage cheese (paneer), cauliflower, onions, coriander, peas and thai green chillies and topped with their unique blend of spices and some juicy onions. Chole had a very nice north India touch in the preparation which made it taste delicious. Unfortunately, we were so full couldn’t try more food but that just gives us more reason to come back to this place again and again… Ohh… and I should mention they have the most clean restrooms as well. (Not something you find very often in Indian restaurants around up North) Overall, we loved the entire experience.

    This place is hopping! We bopped in on a Friday night - and wow. Be prepared to wait. They took our name and cell, then we headed to the nearby caribou coffee for pre dinner tea and chat. 30 minutes later we got our call and headed over. Well staffed, and very busy. There is a lot of to go orders - it was so nice to see an Indian restaurant busy! We loved the options and really enjoyed our meals. Definitely will be back.

    I have been here many times now and whether you are dining in or taking out, it is always worth the wait. Follow everyone’s suggestion to try the Amritsari Chole Kulche. It’s not too spicy for most and a great foray into Indian vegetarian and street food. My personal favorites are the mysore dosa and jalebi. So many different textures playing together in the dosa, and the crispy crepe is always delicious. This restaurant has been very busy lately but I can see why. If you have to wait, I promise it will be worth it!

    I think Indian food can sometimes get a bad wrap, but I find that it's just a matter of finding the restaurants that are doing it right and using fresh ingredients. Most of my Indian food experiences were from friends from India sharing their favorite foods or cooking it myself. I believe this is the first time I have actually eaten Indian food at a restaurant, and it did not disappoint! I saw the street foods were highly recommended when looking through the reviews so I went with the Dahi Puri and the Amritsari Chole Kulche. I would say the Dahi Puri ranked pretty high on being one of the best things I have ever eaten. They were bursting with all sorts of flavors and you could taste the freshness in the ingredients. The mint chutney and spices came through nicely in each bite. I also found the yogurt to be a definitive taste in these bites. Regardless, each ingredient played a key role in making these so delicious and you could still identify everything going on without there being an overpowering flavor. For the Amritsari Chole Kulche, I was worried it was going to be to spicy when I was told it was a medium on the spice scale. I know Indian food can get pretty spicey, and I am not a spicey food person. However, it had more of a mild heat to it versus burning your mouth and ruining the dining experience if you don't prefer the spice. The pindi chana masala that came with the leavened bread reminded me almost of a variation on chili. The spices and flavors were upfront in this dish and it was pretty good. You could also chose to eat the bread with the chickpea dish, mint chutney, or tamrind chutney making each bite unique. Stumbling upon restaurants tucked away in strip malls has yet to prove me wrong. From the food, to the cleanliness, to the attention to detail in the food, it's hard not to give this place a shot. Personally, I would definitely come back here to try more authentic indian food!

    One of the top Indian restaurants near Minneapolis. All of the food was really flavorful and the service was superb! The environment was super updated and modern as well.

  • 5/5 zachery c. 10 months ago on Google
    Service is highly professional and courteous. Food can sometimes take awhile to cook (15-30 minutes) if busy or large party, I recommend ordering appetizers or fried stuff as it comes out quick. Order literally anything and you will like it. It's easy to just order and be content and satisfied with 1 item and pay under $20, but there's so much to try and easy to spend $60 between two people. Definitely come here if you are looking for very high quality Indian cuisine.

  • 5/5 Adam T. 9 months ago on Google
    Impressed by this phenomenal restaurant. The food was excellent and clearly prepared with fresh ingredients. The value was good and the service was attentive even though it was busy and understandably a bit slow. Highly recommended.

  • 1/5 Diane P. 6 months ago on Google
    Picked up a take out order on Saturday, November 25th. Get all the way home and we're missing one total order in the bag. We call them up and ask them to please just refund us for the missing item. They absolutely refuse to do so stating their app doesn't allow refunds! They wanted us to drive a total of 22 mi round trip just to pick up the left out meal. I've never heard of a restaurant not being able to refund for a missing order! Doubtful that I will ever go back even though this was our favorite Indian food place. We spent over $100 and couldn't get a refund for one forgotten meal that they did not pack for us. If you consider take out with them, you should take everything out of the bag and double check the receipt and make sure that you get what you ordered. You shouldn't have to do that in this day and age when people should be able to count to 2 of the same 1 item to get the order straight!

  • 5/5 Cassidy O. 1 year ago on Google
    My son and I were very pleased with the service and food. We had the vegetable pakora, garlic naan, beef Josh, lamb josh, and a mango lassi. When I am in the area I will definitely make it a point to visit this spot.

    Took take away for Paneer Makhni First look of it made me worried about quantity however the side rice were ok in quantity. Lucky that the quantity was less as the taste was also below average I drove from Eden prairie to try this restaurant and was disappointed

  • 4/5 Frank D. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent Indian restaurant. Extensive menu with curries, tandoris and Dosa. Only knock is it seems the kitchen is small as our food came out one plate at a time and took about 15min for everyone to get thier food after the first plate arrived. Overall very good and I will be back.

  • 5/5 tyler l. 11 months ago on Google
    First time visiting today. I’m new to Indian food so it was a bit intimidating. The waiter was really nice and had lots of great tips and suggestions on menu items based on what I said I liked. The food arrived very quickly and was very tasty and hot. The drinks were refilled as soon as they looked even a bit empty and again I’d like to stress that the staff was very attentive and friendly. Couldn’t be more pleased with my experience and will be back soon!

  • 5/5 Arun J. 1 year ago on Google
    A good restaurant to taste Indian food. Had Chicken Biriyani, chilli chicken, chola baturi and Dahi puri. All tasted good except for chilli chicken tasting sweet instead of spicy. Would definitely visit again to try other food

  • 5/5 Sharlene D. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice local family owned local restaurant. Freshly cooked food off the stove or oven. Impressively authentic. Warmhearted owner couple greeted and talked to customers. Highly recommended dining in.

  • 4/5 aman s. 2 years ago on Google
    No doubt, One of the best place to have Indian food in twin cities 👍 Risk of ordering malai kofta, assuming no way it can be made spicy outside home, paid well.Kudos to the attendee whose suggestions helped us to order best dishes from the vast menu.Cheers to him 🙌Don’t forget to start with dal soup and wrap with kulfi falouda 🥳
