    We loved this place. Food was super good. Price is superb. It's hard to find an Indian place in SD and we are really glad we found this one. Location is a bit limited, as reviews have said before, it's an apartment (and it's located in the back of the white building - go to your right when you enter the white building parking through a small alley and go for the second floor). Amazing for take out (some people mention about eating in the place, we didn't try it or asked). Service was good. Missing out a menu image (or list) so it's easier to order. Parking nearby is simple as it is a slow street. Remember to call with time for your order. Now, food. We had Chicken Biryani, Chicken Masala and Basmati. Naans were incredible. I loved the sauce and chicken in the Masala (mine had bones, not sure if there is a boneless option). Biryani was good too. 2 Chicken Masala, 1 Biryani and 2 Basmati rice was approximately 1350 DOP. Everything was good. All of our plates came with a small salad and a spicy yogurt. Spicy level for the food wasn't that intense (I am not a huge fan of intense spicy), it was good. Amazing. We loved it. We will be ordering back soon.

    It's in someone's house. I found that aspect fun. Hard to find but the locals know the place. It's on the 2nd floor. Had an option of chicken Masala or chicken bryiani. Went with the Masada. It was reheated in microwave but still tasted good though cooled off fast. Got the Nan with was freshly made and dhal. Some of the best dhal I have ever had and I eat a lot of Indian food. 450 for the lot. A satisfying experience.

    WOW! What a finding! I was looking for Indian food in DR and I got the jackpot, Indian and Pakistan all together, my favorites! The ladies are so warm and familiar, great customer service. And the food, oh MY! DELICIOUS! Real homemade food! FINALLY! The veggie's samosas rocks! Till now it's the best Indian & Pakistani food I've eaten in DR! And the prices are fair considering the amount and the tastiness! Totally recommended!

    Best Pakistani/Indian food in the Dominican Republic. Not exactly a restaurant, it's really just a single table in the owner's front room so I'd probably recommend getting takeaway but it was still lovely eating in. The food was absolutely delicious and very well priced. We didn't get much choice of food but we were given a chicken biryani, another spicy chicken curry, chapattis, salad, raita & water all for 350 pesos per person. There are no signs so to find it, go through the patio under the white building, round the alley to the right and upstairs to flat 2C & knock on the door.

    I was also craving for Indian food during 6 day trip to Santo Domingo. I got to taste authentic Pakistani punjabi Non-veg food at there place and later get food delivered to hotel through WhatsApp. I tasted amazing Chicken Masala, Authentic Chicken Corma, Chicken Achari. Best thing is best cost. Great chef and great food.

    This is not a restaurant but a home based caterer. The cook is amazing, we are from Toronto and this is by far the best indian food we had, we ate there 2 days in a row ! You can call ahead if you speak Spanish and ask what the meal of the day is, order to take away or eat in. If eating in, know that you'll be eating in the living room area next to the kitchen. If you are looking for a fancy experience this is not it but if you want authentic homemade and halal food, you are in the perfect spot!

    There are no advertisement board to find the place. It’s just an apartment that the people are preparing and delivering. Had Indian style food from Pakistan place after a year. Order the food and then ask us to wait outside the apartment is too odd because there was a couple eating there. Better order the food and pick it.

    If you’re trying to get your desi food fix this only Indian/pakistani restaurant in the Santo Domingo area and it is amazing. I had Biryani, chicken masala, aloo keema and tandoori roti. Everything was delicious. The menu changes daily so it’s a good idea to WhatsApp them beforehand. They also deliver the food via taxi if needed.

    Had a really great experience here today. The food was amazing. I've had Indian and Pakistani food many times and this was as good as any I've had. Service was very quaint and enjoyable though perhaps not for everyone (folks that may enjoy a more upscale dining experience should probably only order delivery from this place). I would absolutely order from this place again, had an amazing meal, and left feeling great.

    Not a restaurant but more of a take out spot… perhaps you can eat in if it’s a special occasion and you ask. Menu for the day depends so just ask on WhatsApp. Price was fair for an immense amount of food. Would definitely eat again.

    The setup is ok but if you are looking for the best food in DR, then this is the spot. Biryani and everything is to the point. Will definitely recommend 👌

    Such an incredible experience coming here for a friends birthday dinner! There were 11 of us, and all had plenty of delicious food. The atmosphere is in the families home, but it made it feel so homey and authentic. Family style servings with spice and flavors that were out of this world!

    Authentic Indian/Pakistani food with a great price. Hole in the wall restaurant inside a apartment that you can't see from the street. Don't pass this place up!!!

    Highly recommend. Probably the most difficult thing was to find the place (it’s an apartment on the second floor). Incredibly amazing and authentic food. The owner and wife were very kind to join us on the meal. Be aware that the venue is an apartment but it’s absolutely worth the experience and conversation you get to have (be it in Spanish or English).

👍👍 The venue is very cute, the view on the ocean is spectacular. The staff was super friendly this day. The food was really good and arrived extremely fast. I had Mofongo (So delicious) and Sancocho (very good)! The only pros was the dessert.
