The staff are so friendly. The waiter was very infectiously happy and had a huge smile on his face every time he came to the table. The wait time for food was a bit long, but the quality of food made up for it. The spice on the Lamb Korma was surprising in a pleasant way. It had good flavor for the spice level, but did have a lingering effect. We also had some of their Korma fries which had a delicious nacho cheese and curry spices on top. Their garlic cheese naan is banging! Love how cheesy it is and the pull apart effect. The apple drink they have was an interesting flavor. It was first sour and then very sweet. I think it’s better slightly diluted. The waiter was so sweet and greeted us goodbye. I would definitely come try more of their menu if I was in the area.

Probably one of the best pizzas I’ve eaten in my life, the bread is so fresh and the cheese melts in your mouth. Must try: Paneer Pizza Ps: Ask for spicy as the sauce is given on side not on pizza

We love this place and come back often. Nischal, Denish, and Lushan all provided the best service tonight (per usual). We always feel so welcome here and the food is probably the best you can find available til 3am (cocktails/drinks til 2am) nightly. No where will you be greeted with such hospitality and kindness by servers who genuinely enjoy working here. Always love the butter masala (paneer or lamb) and beautiful fried momos (the only pictured since we ate so quickly).

With a 4.9-star average and nearly 5,000 reviews, this restaurant hardly needs another endorsement—but after finally trying it, I understand the hype. I ordered the Marsala burger with medium heat, and it was exceptional. My dad had a chicken dish that he thoroughly enjoyed as well.
