I enjoy my dinner. The food was very good. If spicy food is your thing, this is your place. Also, ask for the Kingfisher Beer. You will need it. Curry Fish was my order and I enjoyed the spicy fish and the beer. One thing that could be improved would be the loudness of the room. It seemed the tile floor or something helped to make the room more noisy that it should be. However I enjoyed my visit. I would eat here again.

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.

This is easily one of the best Indian food spots in the DSM area. I've tried several of their curries, and every one has been consistently flavorful and well-prepared. What really sets them apart is their heat scale - when they say "extra hot," they mean it. The extra hot vindaloo brought a serious fire (and a satisfying sweat), while the medium tikka masala was mild and creamy with just a touch of warmth. The hot butter chicken had a nice kick, mellowed by its rich, creamy buttery sauce. Appetizers are excellent too. The samosas are huge and packed with flavor. I'd love to see the naan a bit thicker and more charred and bubbly (That's what I'm used to in the UK), as is the roti is a solid alternative and great value. There's also a rice dish that's massive, fragrant, and loaded with perfectly cooked meat. It's bold and aromatic - maybe a bit much for some, but it's a repeat favorite in my group- though the name escapes me. Service is attentive too, portions are reasonable, and the flavours are legit. This is the place to go if you want your spice to mean something.

They have awesome food, this is a great date night spot. I can't recommend the honey garlic chicken appetizer enough. Please go and try it, you won't regret it!
