  Wow! Let me start by saying this place is an absolute gem.
  When you walk in you're greeting by beautiful ornate decorations that transport you straight to India. With gorgeous tapestry's, wall hangings, detailed lights, and beautiful tablecloths the ambiance alone is enough to make you enjoy your time spent here.
  Then you get your food... oh my, let me start by saying I consider myself somewhat of a "chicken Tikka masala connoisseur"....Anywhere that has it on the menu, I order it. This was BY FAR the BEST I have tasted.
  The depth of flavors was incredible. I was scraping the bowl with my garlic naan (also incredible and fresh). The samosas were also extremely delicious, the sauces that accompanied them were so good I kept eating them both with my fork after the Samoas were gone.
  Needless to say everything on the menu I'm sure is delicious.
  And finally the owner and staff were super friendly. When someone has passion for what they do in the restaurant business it SHOWS in the food. This was truly an amazing dining experience.
  
  I will be back FOR SURE.

  I ordered delivery on Postmates, so this review has nothing to do with the atmosphere of the restaurant itself.
  
  I ordered chicken tikka masala because that is my favorite Indian dish. I so shocked and disappointed to see that they completely forgot to ADD THE SAUCE and just gave me some grilled chicken and onions. Maybe they gave me the wrong dish altogether. Also, I requested a set of utensils; did not get that either.
  
  The food was still very delicious overall, and I get that no one is entirely infallible, but when you completely forget and neglect the most important part of a curry dish, that is a major mistake that will take a massive hit in the reviews.
  
  UPDATE
  **I stand corrected and will remember to order the chicken tikka MASALA in the future! I appreciate the clarification!

  I came here with a friend after work around 5:45PM and it was completely empty. It's a cute place and the staff is friendly and attentive.
  
  However, I definitely was not blown away. We wanted to order the Bombay chicken, but we were told they were "out" even though it was so early on, so I don't know what the situation was. Instead they offered us the Chicken Tikka Masala. So we agreed, and they told us it comes with rice, which we also ordered on the side. The rice ended up not actually being included so we got charged extra, which was not ideal. We also ordered garlic naan.
  
  The chicken was dry and over cooked which is alway a disappointment. The texture of the tikka masala was lumpy but the flavor was good. The naan wasn't fluffy and was also dry, so I wasn't impressed there either. The brown rice was decent.
  
  Overall, I was expecting more, especially from the other yelp reviews I'd read. Probably will not be coming back.

  Coconut curry all day. Service is cool. Lamb naan could of been better by adding some garlic.

  GOOD FOOD! This restaurant is literally hidden, and it is so easy to miss. I'm glad that we found it because it was very good. From the moment we entered we were definitely welcomed, and you can tell that the staff genuinely care about their customers. The decor is nice, with mirrors everywhere and authentic decorations in different places. The food comes out very quickly and it is good portions for all the curries and the *tandoori chicken* . The garlic naan is also so good, and goes excellently with all the curries. I would say I enjoyed the lamb curry and chicken tikka masala more than I enjoyed the tandoori chicken because I feel like they were seasoned a bit better. However, I still think the food in general was good, and I enjoyed this experience. Make sure to check in because you get 15% off, which is great! Good choice, and happy to have found this place!
