- Teresa TisonJanuary 21, 2016The buffet offers a selection of the most loved Indian foods. And they taste just like they do where I discovered and enjoyed them in the San Francisco Bay Area. Truly authentic !
Roberto CosteSeptember 18, 2016I love the chicken tikka masala here! Great service and nice restaurant
Ankit BhargavaAugust 6, 2014Murgh malai kabob, murgh Wajid Ali. Amazingly delicious!! Also tried chole and bhatura. All turned out great. Got a delivery. They came at 12am to deliver the food. Haven't seen the place in person
PouyaSeptember 5, 2019Tried the Murgh Wajid Ali. Very delicious and served nicely. It is chicken with creamy sauce and ground nuts. Mango Lassi was also very good.
Susan C PersonsJanuary 3, 2023Best chicken tikka masala I’ve ever eaten! Attractive setting overlooking the hustle and bustle of Harvard Square’s JFK Boulevard.
