We recently stopped here for lunch and ordered Aloo parath, Chhole bhature and chai. Everything was cooked to perfection. Best Aloo paratha I have ever eaten in US. Each order has one big paratha and they served it with dahi, butter and pickle. Dahi was very fresh. Chhole bhature was very delicious too. Icing on the cake was chai! Definitely recommend and will for sure revisit.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

By far the best Indian food I have had in years (almost a decade). I used to go to a couple of places in Merced and Fresno but the quality of those places just started to go down hill in flavor. This place has that great rich flavor in the sauces and the tandori chicken was tender and just awsome. We had the butter chicken, baingan bharta, punjabi chicken tandori, rice, garlic naan, and chole bhature. Everything was great. The only bad thing was the service was a little slow, but the server was polite and attentive. But the food was excellent so that didn't bother me or the two other people I was with, the other thing that may annoy some people, but didn't have any effect on us whatsoever was the restaurant portion. It is not fancy by any means. I have been to nicer grocery store/restaurants where the inside was nice but the food was just so so. That was not the case with this place. The taste and quality of the food far outwieghed the slow service and ambiance. Fancy dinning rooms and fast service is not always a reflection of food quality. This place nailed it and now I and the other two people I was with have a go-to for Indian food. I hope they keep that quality of food and don't start cutting corners. Great place.

Delicious! Always fresh and hot! The best in town! Butter chicken and garlic naan is my favorite from here! Definitely worth a try :)
