This place is so cute! When you first walk up to the restaurant there's a door with metal panels and rivets, making it totally unique! Inside the tables are preset with folded napkins. It gave the feeling of a classy comfort and I think for dinner it could be a pretty cute idea for an intimate date. :)The food itself was set up buffet style and it's all self served. Because it was my first time eating Indian food I tried a little bit of everything and it was all so good! My favorite thing was the chicken curry and the chicken tikimasla. Once we sat down the servers brought us some freshly toasted naan. Everyone fell in love at first bite. My party had 6 people and the waiters were all so kin...
I would give a zero star if I could, one of the worst Indian food experiences I had. After we made an order, we got a complement of chatney set with papad. Coriander chatney was bad by look and taste, tamarind chatney tasted more like a ketchup. Samosa chat was a disappointment. The filling in the samosa had too much salt and no spices, the chutneys were same as offered with papad and needless to say that they ruined the taste of already imperfect dish. The gravy in malai kofta was tasting more like a tomato gravy with almost no spices, koftas poorly made and not having authentic flavor. My friend got palak paneer with raw onions and spinach. The only thing that was more or less eatable ther...
The Vegetable Tikka Masala earned a 3/5. Although the menu described it as having a masala sauce, it was actually served in a cream sauce. While the flavor was decent, I wasn't expecting cream, and it resembled vegetable korma more than tikka masala.
As for the Malai Kofta, I would rate it a meager 1.5/5. It was one of the worst I’ve ever tasted. Both the kofta and the curry were underwhelming, seeming like mere chickpea flour balls swimming in a besan curry.
The Garlic Naan was good, receiving a score of 4/5, while the Onion Kulcha only managed a 3/5 due to a lack of onion; it was more like plain naan.
On a positive note, the Veg Pakoda was excellent, ranking 5/5.
Overall, it's a reason...
I ordered to go and waited about 25-30 minutes for cold food pretty sad. The only thing that was hot was the samosas. The rice was not good and the curry was cold as it gets and I literally ate my food a few minutes after I picked up. Overall horrible quality food I can tell that my curry was not made fresh or to order and would definitely recommend to stay away from this place. No depth in tikka masala and was not good. Much better places to enjoy great Indian food and this was definitely not it.

Loved the chicken Tikka Masala with mango chutney! Prices were higher by quite a bit since I went a lot there for years before covid. Three of us ate and the total was $114 plus tax. May not be able to come anymore as it's a bit too expensive. I miss th men who used to work there and were so nice as they knew I was a regular and would bring me free dessert. Oh well nothing great lasts forever.
This is definitely the best Indian restaurant in town! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is absolutely amazing! Be sure to try the chicken korma; it's fantastic! And the naan is the best you'll find. They also provide wonderful "to-go boxes." Overall, I would rate the food a perfect 5 out of 5!
Four of us had their lunch buffet two days ago. We were disappointed. The BBQ chicken had no flavor. We had to tell them there was no chicken on the Steam tray. We went because of their 4 star review. After dinning, we all agreed the food was really just okay. We paid 25/ per person plus tips.
Very nice spot if you just need a break from the world for a moment as you eat delicious food. Everything is tasty and spiced to order, so make sure if you can't handle spicy you tell them. They atmosphere is awesome and the staff are attentive and friendly.Food: 5/5

Update to my previous review: I returned and had a much better experience. The flavors and spices were excellent this time, and I look forward to coming back.
Parking: The restaurant offers ample and convenient free parking, which is a great perk.
The lunch buffet is worth it. I have always loved Indian offers but I haven't found one in Pasadena post pandemic. The food was fresh. The price was fair and the wait staff was very accommodating. I will come here again for the buffet.
