    Amazing ambiance and great service. Food is incredible, anything from the appetizers, main dishes and desert we tried were out of this world. Best Indian restaurant I have been to and one of the best dining experiences overall! Highly recommend this place

    Last night our good friend Sanjay hosted a group dinner a la "Family Style" here. There were 14 of us. All I can say is Wow. Every last dish was outstanding. The Tandoori grilled meats were unbelievably tender and flavorful. It's so easy to overcook shrimp, but theirs melted in your mouth! Even the homemade ice cream was amazing. Literally everything we tried was just delicious. Regarding service....Family style does not only describe the way the food was served, but also the interaction we had with all the staff and owners. You felt like you were having dinner at their home. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and charming. Honestly one of the best group dining experiences we've ever had!

    They have really tasty Indian food . We ordered goat kolapuri , goat biryani and dal rice and garlic , garlic chili naan .the mutton in mutton curry was cooked properly , the taste of curry was amazing . After so many tries at different places I got this good mutton curry which is well cooked. If you like spices and actual Indian taste I m sure you will love this place . Biryani was good. And naan was also served warm. Definitely in my recommendation list .

    Went there for food testing and deciding a menu for an event. Nadir, the owner, and his staff were very welcoming. He helped us make the right decisions. Gave us a variety of things to taste before making final decisions. Food and dessert items were delicious! Can't wait to eat it at the party! Update on review- I want to again thank you for everything. 120 people came and 120 people said how amazing the food was. Everything from start to finish was just delicious. The venue owner also was amazed by the professionalism of your staff and she will recommend your restaurant to her clients whoever asks for Indian food. The Kulfi was a big hit with the guests! Thank you again....looking forward to the next time!

    My parents went here for a special occasion. My brother and I got them a gift card to enjoy the evening. They had a fantastic time, food was really fresh and good, the service was great and the owner so nicely greeted them and made sure they were enjoying the evening. My (very particular) Mom said she loved the restaurant and can’t wait to come back with more people. Thanks to the team at Mauka for giving my parents such a great evening out.

    The food and atmosphere was really nice. Prices are a little on the high end but you're definitely paying for the atmosphere and quality.

    Simply hands down the best Indian food in the area! It was literally love at first sight when I saw the menu. They have a very large variety of dishes to choose from and even have a dedicated goat and lamb section. For appetizers, try the Palak Chat and the Pani Poori, delicious and super fun to eat respectively. The service is genuinely warm and friendly and it is simply a place that I look forward to visiting each and every time. Please try it, you won't be disappointed.

    This place has amazing Indian food, better than other restaurants, and offers better flavor and sauces. The Naan is delicious and has different flavors available like rosemary, garlic, and a favorite pershawi contains fruit (has nuts as well fyi) is a definite choice!!! We have come multiple times and are now regulars, so come and treat yourself to the experience!!!

    We had a wonderful time here with friends over dinner. Service here is great, their management and owners team is very hospitable and cordial. Food was awesome and we definitely left the place with some good memories. Will definitely visit this place again. You should definitely visit Mauka for your Indian food taste buds if you are in the area. This is the best spot in the town.

    My Fiancé and I came for a food tasting for our upcoming wedding this year and we were amazed at how delicious everything was! Their dessert is definitely one of the best ive ever had. Also, owner-Nadir is super friendly and treats you like his family. Super respectful! I am so glad they are going to be catering our wedding and I’ll definitely be coming back post wedding to eat more ᵕ̈

    Excellent Indian food. Service was attentive from the minute we walked in. The atmosphere was lively. Only critique is that the beautifully-charred tandoori shrimp were a bit rare. Lotus root starter and the tofu masala were a pleasure to eat. Saag paneer was warming. Very flavorful and luxurious textures. See you again!

    Incredible Indian food some of the best I've had. The place is easy to find with plenty of parking. The atmosphere is very inviting with plenty of tables and natural light. Menu has all of the staples. The server was incredibly friendly even though I noticed they were dealing with some very rude customers at another table. I would highly recommend the Palak Aam Patta Chat as an appetizer. It's bright, fresh, and incredibly flavorful I almost ordered a second serving as my main course. For main we got Chicken Kourma and Chicken Tikka Masala which were both phenomenal. The portions were large and there is plenty of sauce so be sure to get some fresh naan for dipping. BYOB is nice. Overall 10/10 experience my new go-to place for a delicious meal

    Had a great experience at Mauka. The menu seems to have a lot of Americanized Indian dishes but has kept a good mix of traditional dishes as well. To start - we tried the chowk Ki tikki choley chaat and pani puri appetizers. Both were excellent; the pani puri water gave me that burn in the throat that I was anticipating. For entrees, we went with the mango curry chicken and the chicken biryani. The mango curry chicken was something unique and seems to be an original from the restaurant more so than an actual Indian dish. It was good, but slightly too sweet. The star of the show was the biryani - it came out in a clay pot with a roti covering it. The server cut the roti off to show off the dazzling colorful biryani underneath. It had all the hallmarks of a fantastic biryani, with great flavor and color to match. We tried the rosemary cheese naan and mango lassi. The naan wasn’t flavorful enough to reorder, I would get the plain naan in the future. The mango lassi was excellent in texture and flavor. I would return to try some of the sizzling meat dishes we saw others order, and of course for the biryani! Servers were super friendly, and the restaurant had a nice ambiance.

    We went here after hearing great reviews from a few different friends, and they were right. Soups, spinach small plate (not small at all) salmon, chicken, mango smoothies: so a lot of variety and all 4 of us were very happy.

    Good Atmosphere, service is okay, they can improve on accommodating the customer request on may be an alternative option if someone doesn’t eat or like the items given in the lunch platter. Some foods are good and some items are not that great like Chenna masala, baigan
