Very good spot for Indian food in the area, and lunch! If you can't get all the way to Little India, this is a good place to go in Midtown. Last time I went, there was a buffet lunch option and it was an excellent bargain. However, I am not 100 percent sure if that is still there. The options at rhe buffet reflect items on the menu. So you had tandoori chicken, naan, saag, and all sorts of delicious things that go perfectly with rice. I must give particular words of emphasis for the naan and tandoori chicken, because the naan is delightfully cooked and obviously roasted in-house in a proper oven. The spots of char are inconsistent, rightfully so, and they put a splash of luscious oil atop that gives it even more heft. The tandoori chicken is amazingly tender and not dry, with a good flavor from marinade. It's easy to leave full everytime. There are also some items from their main, Ala carte menu that are great, and this also includes large portions that are great for lunch. The owners are very kind and attentive. The space itself stretches in and the front is well lit. You can see the chef working his magic in a small enclosure with glass. Overall, a very satisfying experience. Read less

My siblings and I were in the area and looking for a bite to eat. We stumbled upon this place. Goodness. The food was delicious. The portion sizes were huge. 1 order of Butter Chicken could feed 2 people. Naan was made fresh to order and I was able to see them making it. This is hands down the best Indian food I've ever had. The older woman was so sweet. The servers were also excellent. Read less

PROs - location, meat curry , naan CONs - slightly expensive , service , vegetarian curry , ambience First timer . Was walking by 34th street and was craving Indian food . Saw this place via Google reviews and wanted to try . I don’t think it is a 4 star ⭐️ restaurant like in Google reviews. For me it is 2.5 star restaurant but gave it 3 stars . ⭐️ I actually didnt like ambience much . They play gurunanak song (high sound) and it was like a temple . I liked the music , but wanted a better ambience in a restaurant.. thali was about 20$ plus tax/tips - 26$ . There are so many other restaurants in Lexington which is much better and cheaper . Service was average ! The guy didn’t even give water till after 10 mins when I asked him. Took about 20-25 mins for the food to come .. place had a bar too.. . Naan was good . Meat curry was good too. Like home made . Vegetarian curry wasn’t good . It was sweeeeeeeeet . Didn’t eat the veggie food much . Dhal was ok . Overall a very average experience and will probably not go back . Read less
