Their food is absolutely incredible! I’d never tried this style of Indian food, it is a different style than typical Indian cuisine, and it far exceeded expectations. I tried the Gongura Chicken Curry, and it was delicious! The spice ranges from 1-10, so I got a 5 (medium) to see if I needed to go up or down with it, but it was perfect, spicy but not overkill. The chicken was very tender, and the Gongura was very unique and flavorful. The Dal Makhani, made with tiny black lentils, was equally delicious and creamy. The Naan with chilies and cheese was top notch. Everything was fresh, authentic, and exceptional! The food is definitely worthy of a fancier restaurant. The staff were just lovely, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. There was Indian Fusion music playing softly, which created enjoyable ambiance. The seating was comfortable and new, and while I was able to be seated right away, there was no lack of continuous patrons throughout my time there. The place is not huge, but they could easily fill more tables if they had the space. Half of the patrons were Indian, so that is a true testament that they go where the food is authentic and exceptional. - - More return trips back, I remembered to take pictures! Everything was so delicious again!

All the foods we tried here were very good, service and atmosphere seems average for an Indian restaurant but the food was definitely better than average. Tried the Kadai Chicken, which was very good. Chicken 65 was great and crispy but with the chicken not being over cooked which is good. They do it dry so there is not a sauce but it’s good and flavorful, we asked for additional lemon to squeeze on top. Chicken Chettinadu was similarly good and flavorful with nicely cooked chicken. The naan was notably lighter than most in a nice way and had a decent amount of garlic on it, definitely fresh and crispy not one that had been sitting around. Bathroom was pretty nice and clean. You can see into different areas walking to the bathroom and things appeared clean and organized.

Tonight I tried the butter chicken from tabla Indian restaurant, I asked for medium spicy but it was extremely mild and I could not detect any heat at all. Otherwise it had a nice consistency and even color and flavor throughout, the amount of chicken in the dish was generous. I also ordered a butter naan which was nicely toasted and of good taste, the basmati rice was cooked perfectly with each rice grain staying apart from each other. I thought the pricing was pretty fair for the quantity given.
