I’ve eaten here before and had a good experience. The chicken tikka was standard, which is why I decided to return and try something new. It was late at night, so I asked the manager for a recommendation. He confidently suggested the beef curry, emphasizing the freshness of the meat. Unfortunately, the dish was extremely disappointing.

If you like to eat Indian cuisine very late night upon either dining or take out in Center City Philly, then this is the place. A diverse varieties of curry flavors, meat, and veggie selections. The meats and veggies are chunky to be well proportions. Naan bread is fresh dough to place inside a oven to be served as crispy and soft tenderness. Mango Lassi is authentically homemade for drinking after a good hearty meal to digest and smooth your stomach.

I’ve ordered take out from here a couple times, and the food has always been good. The garlic naan and rice are on point, and the paneer dishes I’ve ordered have been very flavourful. Just wish there was a bit more paneer, but I know cheese is expensive right now.

We have visited this place during our trip for quick bite ! It was great down town near place but tough to get parking in a street ! Food perspective great food ! Well cooked ! Great taste ! They made food how we describe to them. Good place to visit and enjoy Indian food ! Lot of chicken ,Lamb and veg varieties but less fish in the menu. Price is decent ! Might be get higher soon due to inflation!
