Absolutely one of my favorite Indian Restaurants ever!!! Went there today for my Birthday after some time and the atmosphere, the employees, the vibes were all around welcoming, laid back, and delightful. I got the chicken lollipops, chicken noodles, lamb curry & garlic naam bread. Everything is made fresh to order, and I promise you, you’ll leave a few pound extra—along with some tasty leftovers. Pricing extremely reasonable for the food you receive. I’ll continue to be a huge supporter of this restaurant. Please give them a try!

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.

We ordered Mirchi Bajji, Garlic Naan, Street Style Chicken Noodles, Chicken Biryani, and Kadai Vegetable. Some of the food had decent flavor, but there was a strange item either in the rice or the Kadai Vegetable that completely changed the taste and made that dish unpleasant. The main entrées were supposed to come with rice, but they didn’t bring it out at first. When they finally did, it was just a small bowl with about four spoonfuls, not really enough for a full meal. We also ordered a side of cauliflower, and one of the pieces turned out to be chicken, which was very disappointing since I am vegan. The service was also not great. Any group of six or more automatically gets an 18 percent service charge, which they list as a service fee instead of gratuity. Our sodas didn’t come until we asked several times, and one of our appetizers came out after most of the main dishes were already served. The restaurant itself didn’t feel very clean. We noticed some dead bugs on the floor and the bathrooms were not very well maintained. Overall, the food was okay, but the service and cleanliness really need improvement.

All over in St. Louis, the Hyderabad dum biryani in this restaurant has most authentic taste. Their mirchi ka salan is a perfect side for biryani. Staff are kind and polite. Update: I had chicken mandi. It was good too.
