😠 Started off great (at least that’s what we thought) but left disappointed. Atmosphere was great, shop has lots of things we were going to buy but didn’t and owner’s wife was nice and friendly. We ordered three dishes, and two were great but the rajma was raw and so was the gravy. I tried to nicely... People often mention good, restaurant, time, store, great, ordered, service, experience,

    Started off great (at least that’s what we thought) but left disappointed. Atmosphere was great, shop has lots of things we were going to buy but didn’t and owner’s wife was nice and friendly. We ordered three dishes, and two were great but the rajma was raw and so was the gravy. I tried to nicely let the owner know that the rajma was not fully cooked but he immediately denied it and got really defensive. He just sat on the chair and did nothing while we waited with freshly ordered garlic nans and When I went to check with him he was super rude, raised his voice and called me a liar in front of the other customers and my kids. Very unprofessional and weird. My wife went to go show him nicely the rajma and he just told her you want free food fine it’s all free. She told him no, we just want to pay for the food we were able to eat. He argued back and forth and his wife came to try and tell us to just take it. I can’t get why he wouldn’t just take like $5 off or something and be reasonable. He apparently only sees black and white and my wife had to beg him to stop arguing so she could talk. We ended up leaving $40 on the table which covered our meal aside from the rajma. Obviously we have no issue paying for the food that we did eat and was fine. This guy was unreasonable and really needs to try to learn some customer service basics. Perhaps some anger management classes would help. He might learn not to project his anger on other people. Later on we found out from his community that he is known for rude guy.

    Very Bad Service. They don't know how to greet their costumer. Such a Rude Staff. They did't even worth 1 Star.

    THE WORST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I have never given any restaurant a 0 star. But this place is so worse and deserves no stars, I had to give one because without it I couldn’t post this review. The food is so disgusting. I shouldn’t be using this word for food but can’t help it. My husband just picked up food from them like an hour ago. I ordered Dahi bhalle and sev puri. The curd in it smells and taste so bad couldn’t eat it after having one bite. I ordered rajmah aswell, it’s like somebody boiled rajmah( and that not even done properly) and cut big chunks of onions and tomatoes and threw it in the water and mixed it with masala. The water is literally separating. It taste so bad. Can’t eat it. The only thing that was decent was the bread pakora. Waste of money. Never eating here again.

    Not bad. There are many items in the store. Prices are decent. The reason of giving 3 stars instead of 5 stars is that they dont have good customer services. They talk to you and look at you like you are not paying them money but rather getting free food from them. They seem to still in the mindset of in India instead of USA.

    IF YOU KNOW HOW TO COOK THEN THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU.....PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND FIND A BETTER QUALITY FOOD PLACE. My husband and I were very excited to eat out today. We had worst experience and no customer service. The food quality is poor then even home cooked meals 😩. We were so disappointed and not coming back to this store ever again. It was one of our worst experience. The owner/manager/employee do not greet and did stared at us while paying. They had a machine to serve us food which stopped way before the table where we had to get up each time to self serve. Truly, I would not mind self serving if the food quality at least meet the standards. The food was not cooked fully. I wish they had spent more time on the quality of the food rather then decorations and multiple store efforts without adequate employees.

    Too good food👌, authentic, vegetarian and very tasty.. most amazing part was good being served by Robot(see video)... visited twice. Once with my family and second time invited one of my friend with his family. They too, liked the food. Bhindi Masala, paneer Tikka, Naan, dal - all were awesome...

    Had the Saag and my friend had the maggi. The food was good, I liked the flavors in the saag and the maggi. Their robot brought it to us when it was ready, that was kinda cool. But It was a little dim in the restaurant and the tables were a little dirty around us. It was alright food and had a good vegan options but the atmosphere was a little wonky.

    The owners of this company know how to run a caring and successful family business that I love to support every time I shop at their store and eat at their restaurant. I have been going here for years with my kids for their great prices, Indian food ready-to-heat-shelf-stable packets, bulk bags of beans and rice, and a great selection of spices and desserts! They also have one of the first waitress robots in our area to serve you!! This is the first place I have been to with an experience like this. The restaurant is colorfully decorated with a fountain inside too. What a beautiful experience we have every time! Thank you to these hardworking owners and their sons!! We appreciate all you do and the long hours you put in. 💙💜💙💜

    STAY AWAY! just stay away from this place horrible customer service VERY RUDE OWNER/employees they don’t care about their customers I don’t know how it’s still in business when I had bad experience with my food/ over spicy undercooked/ tandoori roti which is not actually tandoori. I called them owner told me to go somewhere else that’s how they reply to you. Save your time and money and give your business to a restaurant that actually cares.

    I was introduced to this restaurant by a coworker. The menu is completely vegetarian. The food is served to order, hot and fresh.

    Authentic cuisine with a staff that really cares about the quality of their food and the customer's experience. Need a quick bite? Try their delicious and affordable samosas with homemade sauces.

    Food is good Staff had helped me before, they helped me book an uber by providing wifi that was really good about them. But today when I visited the store when my friend asked for little discount the staff member could have replied politely, but she did not my friend got hurt. Please respond in a polite manner. This is what we expect. We understand discounts may not be given but the way of conveying this message was not as good.

    Food is usually good. I'd like to provide a constructive criticism since they are our community members. You got to check your food especially the accompaniments. I ordered samosas that come with green and sweet chutneys. The cold green chutney had gone bad (smelled and tasted extremely sour) and formed gas in the container. This is not the first time I experienced this issue. Several years ago we (party of 3) had Chaat at this place. It tasted weird (the potatoes tasted bad) and we all got food poisoning. Please check your food quality and serve fresh food.

    Great Punjabi food. We had tikki chaat, chole bature and stuffed kulcha. They were all excellent. The prices are good too. It is colocated with the grocery store

    I have been going to this store since 2005 and always the service was wonderful and when they opened their food restaurant, it has been amazing 👏.

  • 5/5 Aditya J. 10 months ago on Google
    One of the best aloo tikki chat I have had in a while! really good vegetarian restaurant with wide variety of homestyle dishes. Do not expect a fancy service or atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Patrickdean G. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the food, very authentic, has vegan food as an option. Imported products that you might not find easily. I suggest ordering the food and shop around before paying to get it into one transaction since there is a small fee charged using a card. Too bad I couldn't try their buffet due to food scarcity and the open food policy. They have a nice selection of authentic pastries sold here.

    Best Indian food in the area! The menu offers a variety of options and for a decent price. The restaurant was clean and the staff was pretty nice. First time I saw a robot waiter/ waitress here lol definitely worth trying 😊

    Loved the dal making. The ambience of the place was great. It was clean and nice. Best part was this cute little robot which served us food. The only thing that I didn't like was the yogurt dish that we got but everything else was great.

  • 5/5 Reens77 1 year ago on Google
    Came here after I replaced my tire. I ordered samosa chaat and a robot came to serve me! The samosa chaat was really good. Place is clean and well kept. It has a very cute ambience.
