We visited this restaurant on a Friday evening, and despite its positive Yelp reviews, it was surprisingly empty when we walked in. We placed our order at the counter and ordered the samosa chaat, chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, and garlic naan. The curries come with rice. They asked whether we wanted our food for there or to go and we chose to dine in. I was deciding between the lamb or the goat curry, and the staff was very helpful in offering recommendations, which I appreciated. After ordering, we chose our seats, and they quickly brought over clean plates, napkins, and utensils. Our samosa chaat arrived first, and it was very delicious. It was very flavorful, filling, and a great appetizer. As we were finishing it, the rest of our order came out all at once. Everything was served hot and tasted amazing. The lamb curry stood out in particular. The meat was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The garlic naan paired perfectly with the curries. The staff were also very attentive and checked in on us multiple times throughout our meal to make sure everything was okay and that we had everything we needed, which made the dining experience even better. The portions were generous. Honestly, one curry would be enough to share between two people. We weren't able to finish everything because there was so much food. Overall, this place was excellent. Great food, attentive service, and generous portions. Definitely a hidden gem, I would absolutely come back again.

Authentic Indian Cuisine is one of the best Indian restaurants, period. I am from the Bay Area where you have a million Indian eateries but nothing has come close to this restaurant. Their daal tadka, Chana masala are out of this world!!! The owner Roop Virk is a sincere, genuine human being. Even the gentleman who took our orders Luv Singh was awesome. We were ordering way too much food and he told us to hold back and advised on the appropriate quantity. Don’t think most folks will do this and turn down easy money while caring for the customer. Sacramento natives, don’t miss this amazing restaurant.
