Best double tadka daal around Try their Moti Mahal butter chicken also surely. Recommended .. overall whatever we eat comes out nice!!!

As someone who grew up in South Brunswick, it's nice to have a good new option for when I visit parents. I came here with my parents for lunch, and was surprised to see the place practically completely empty when I went in. I guess it's not very popular yet, or perhaps just in a location people don't often visit? Either way, the food and service was quite good overall. I loved the laccha paratha and the butter chicken was good too. I tried a bit of the korma and palak paneer as well, all classics and all very well done. I particularly liked that the gravies were not as creamy as some other places that really overdo it. My one suggestion revolves around the big TV in the middle of the dining room. That thing plays cringey ads every 5 minutes or so, which creates an awkward atmosphere in the restaurant. You guys can afford to pay for ad-free YouTube so your guests don't have to listen to that crap lol, it should be like $10 per month. Little things like that can make people think you lack attention to detail or care for your customer experience, so just clean all that up and you will be fine because the food is good. Overall, good tasty food, if you fix the constant YouTube ads you will be 5 star worthy.

We had a Farewell Party for one of our Colleagues here and we had a great time. We had a private area assigned for our group, and the Bartender did a great job. He was attentive and friendly, and ensured we all had a good time. Service overall was efficient. Appetizers tasted very good, but the Entrees were only above average, still it might be on us since most of us were already feeling stuffed with the Appetizers we had. There was also Live Music at the Dining area, and we got to listen to some great songs and relax as a group.

Love this place. The service is top-notch! The food was spectacular. Highly recommend it, there's lots of Indian places in the area but this one is very comforting and the ambiance is like no other. The best part is they have a bar so you can get as many margaritas as you'd like !!

Exceptional Indian restaurant with delectable cuisine and tantalizing drinks. Flawlessly combines authentic flavors with a modern twist. A culinary journey worth savoring again and again.
