We started with their chai tea which was delicious and perfect during a cool day. We also decided to try different dishes. I'm not too crazy about sweet taste in my food, but my father ordered the mango chicken. First but for me was a piece of mango. Yuk, but then, I took a bite of the chicken and the flavors explored in my mouth. Absolutely delicious. My husband tried the korma chicken, which was my favorite because of the cashew sauce. My son in law had the curry chicken which was explosive in flavors. I tried the curry lamb that didn't disappoint me. All the side are absolutely blasting with flavor. The basmati rice was so good, I had to take extra home with me. Fortunately for me, I filled myself up with everyone's dishes that I could take most of mine home 😀. Oh and the naan breads are a must.

The food was so delicious it was absolutely ridiculous! We had vegetable samosas and chicken wings which my son dipped in the mint samosa sauce. Everything was absolutely gorgeous especially the garlic Nana, don't forget to order that!

I wanna say first that the food is amazing! You can taste a lot of the spices used in the curry, however if i’m ordering medium hot spice I expect it to be at least a little spicy. There was absolutely no spice whatsoever which was pretty disappointing. This seems to be a problem all across Denver though, places say the curry is medium or hot spice and it’s actually pretty mild.

I’ve been on the hunt for the best Indian food in downtown Denver or nearby, and today I decided to give this place a try. By far, it’s the best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the butter chicken (hot), and usually when you order something hot or extra hot, you can’t taste the food because the spice overpowers everything—but not this. It had the perfect amount of heat, just enough to keep you stuffing your face while still being able to enjoy all the amazing flavors. And the garlic naan… don’t even get me started. It’s the absolute best naan I’ve ever had—so fluffy, flavorful, and a great size. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.
