“So tasty! I had the chicken vindalo and asked for extra spicy and they actually made it spicy!! So so good the best Indian food I ever had. Totally worth it”
— Michelle Alvarado“I've been going here on and off for the past year or so. Since roughly my second visit, I've been greeted by name with accompanying conversation every single visit. The people here are insanely nice, and I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to the chicken masala and cheese naan together.”
— Tristan Hammond“Chicken Biryani was more like Tamrind Rice with chicken pieces. Kindda bland and no flavor. Could have been better. Most upsetting part was encountering the hard Tamrind seeds between the boneless chicken biryani. Note: fixed images.”
— Surya R“Not sure why anyone would go here, given the other options in Boulder. It was expensive for the quality of food. The order was ready 20 minutes earlier than their estimate, they want a 20% tip for takeout during checkout, the naan tasted old and wasn’t very good, they include rice and obviously charge more for it - but I don’t want rice, and finally the lamb curry was watery and terrible. Plus, they charge you $1.50 for ordering online, which isn't obvious except on the receipt. Atmosphere was fluorescent and awful. There are tons of great Indian places in Boulder. I don’t understand this one.”

There is a $1.50 convenience fee for online orders, which appears on your receipt after checkout.
