Always wanted to go to good Indian restaurant with authentic north Indian and finally found this gem close to South Brunswick and Monroe in NJ. Tandoori mushroom and soya chaap was out of this world. Fish and chicken was to die for. Will definitely go again.😍
If you’re looking for a delicious meal that tastes sooooo authentic, then this is the place to go. The staff, food, and atmosphere is amazing! Customer service was also A+! We will be back! I wish the owners continued success this year and beyond!
Last week we had our Diwali Celebration for 40 people- we had a blast and awesome experience- Kenny was extremely helpful and supportive, also provided tea at a last minute request as complimentary. The entire staff was extremely good, great service, awesome food and we enjoyed every bit of it.
