Cockroaches and Unhygienic Cooking!
I had a terrible experience here. I ordered lamb biryani and found cockroaches in the food. Even worse, I saw the cook putting his finger in his nose while cooking. Extremely unhygienic and disgusting — never coming back!

Great food, poor location and atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the food was undeniably good, with highlights like the tandoori fish, lamb biryani, and saag, the overall experience was hampered by its less-than-ideal location and a very poor atmosphere. The food itself was a definite 5 out of 5, but the atmosphere only received a 1 out of 5. Despite the drawbacks, the food made it a worthwhile visit for those prioritizing taste.

Delicious Lamb Curry & Reasonable Prices!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the lamb curry, which was absolutely delish. What's more, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. I will definitely return.

Worth the trip from Australia!
I decided to visit this restaurant after Khabib mentioned it on a podcast. I traveled all the way from Australia with high expectations, and I hope you live up to your good standards, mate.

Consistently Delicious Food Since 2005
My experience at this restaurant has been consistently excellent since 2005. I've been visiting with my family for years and continue to do so as an adult. While the location might seem a bit off-putting, don't let it deter you; the food here is incredibly clean and delicious. For a group, I recommend ordering 3-4 plates to share, along with some naan, biryani, and tea. My personal favorite is to grab a few naans with seekh kabab and onions, wrap them together, and enjoy. The food quality is outstanding, and the atmosphere is great, both rated a 5 out of 5.

Terrible Customer Service, Won't Order Again
My experience at this restaurant was very bad due to the customer service. When I called to order, I was disrespected. Because of this experience, I will not be ordering from this restaurant anymore.

Excellent Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was very good. The food was excellent, and the service was even better. They were so generous that they did not charge us for our drinks and even gave us free chai. We are so impressed that we are on our way back for more of their good food.

Disappointing Decline in Service and Food Quality
My experience at this restaurant has unfortunately declined significantly. I used to be a regular customer, visiting since 2016, but I've decided enough is enough. The service has become terrible, and the food is consistently undercooked. The restaurant has changed a lot since my early visits. I would advise others to explore the many other excellent Indian food options available.

Good Food, Needs Better Service
My experience at this restaurant was primarily positive due to the food quality, which I rated a 5. However, the service could be improved. I suggest implementing a proper order number system for a first-come, first-served approach, which is a basic expectation. Additionally, having a more friendly and caring person at the cashier would significantly enhance the customer experience.

Disgusting Experience: Fly in Food!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely disgusting. I found a fly in my lamb biryani plate. This is unacceptable and the city needs to inspect and investigate this place immediately. I would advise everyone to DO NOT EAT HERE!
