Best WLM Reviews

It’s a cute little place which has most of the standard Indian dishes on its menu. Dinner is only take out and seating is only available during lunch time . Would recommend to try it once .
Looking for an Indian restaurant near by, we decided to stop by but we didn’t like the food at all. The food was very below average for the price we paid. The house special Paneer tikka masala was full of food color, and the paneer had a very weird taste, we couldn’t eat it. The bowl was left untouched as a result.
Papri chat was good but the papri tasted old/stale. Naan were good but the chicken naan had a very weird taste and after taste was particularly bad.
Staff was nice and indoor seating was spacious.
ambience is very soothing however the food wasn't up to the par. Ordered Lunch Specials and biryanis. Both Veg and Non veg seemed imbalanced in flavors and uncooked. Seating isn't available due to covid.
Location/Place = Excellent - plenty of parking space and adaptive seatings.
Service [phone/in-person] = Excellent
Food = below expectation in flavors. [too many flavors in an item puts an appetite off]
BEST ITEM: - TANDOORI MUSHROOM (appetizer)
Great little place with very fresh vibe. We loved the interior. We went to this place after visiting the Balaji temple. Were able to find a table right away. The staff is very nice. They have an extensive menu and we absolutely loved every dish we ordered. Specially liked the papdi chaat and tarka daal. Going to visit again for sure
Excellent food quality , the ambiance are amazing .Perfect place to spend time with your family with really good Indian food .
Best little Indian restaurant in the area. Everyone there is very friendly and the vibe is great. The lunch specials are fantastic. The food is absolutely delicious. Love the chicken or paneer tikka masala. They’ve got a bunch of naan options. My favorites are garlic and the aloo kulcha. It’s like seasoned potatoes inside naan. The best! Also recommend the vegetable samosas.
Now for my standard comments. Interior is cool and clean though I haven’t eaten inside there in a while. I’ve been doing takeout recently which is great. The food travels well and tastes just as delicious at home.
Heads up! They charge an extra 3.99% if you want to pay with credit card.
With that out of the way, we've ordered take out from here a few times and the food has never disappointed us. Last night I ordered the chicken korma, my partner ordered chicken vindaloo, and we ordered some naan. All of it was delicious.
The restaurant seemed nice and clean when I walked in and the lady at the front was nice enough.
Love their bespoke spice levels. Great naans. Chaat is a tad too sweet. Only goat and lamb is halal.
