Customer Reviews
From the outside, the entrance was quite uninviting, and I wasn't sure if the place was even open. Once inside, I found the restaurant to be very large, but the atmosphere was a bit daunting. The host desk was situated all the way at the back, and there were no clear signs indicating what we were supposed to do. Despite the initial confusion, the staff was friendly and helpful once we found them. However, we did sit at our table for about 10 minutes before anyone came to speak to us. On a positive note, the food was excellent. The portions were generous, and the flavors were spot-on. We split a biryani, and even with sharing, we had leftovers to take home. Overall, while the experience started off shaky, the quality of the food made up for it.
Food was absolutely delicious. They can adjust the spice level to your liking when you order but they have plenty of options, all the traditional dishes and it is all very delicious. You will not go wrong with anything you order. Keep in mind though that for someone who eats spicy food, level 3 was a bit much so we had to get some mango shake. It is an enormous space so I am sure it gets booked for a lot of parties and celebrations. For some reason the bar was closed but we saw some servers still making drinks, except our server. We still had a great experience and this is a fenomenal Indian food restaurant.
A hidden gem. Very non-descript on the outside, but has a great atmosphere inside, the staff is very courteous (a rarity these days), the food is truly excellent, there is Indian music playing in the background, the place feels like a lounge. It was never busy the few times we came here. It stands head and shoulders above other Indian restaurants in the vicinity in our opinion (and we've been to several with higher star ratings and were severely disappointed, so we keep coming back here).
I'll take pictures next time, but we loved our meal. I had a Biryani Bowl with shrimp and we had Chili Chicken appetizer that was delicious and had a healthy spice too it. We will definitely be back. Keep up the great work.
This is such a great place for authentic Indian food, with lots of options. Less wait time , beautiful and spacious ambiance with nice music ! We always order the Raju gari kodi pulao on Sunday’s as it has high demand ! The best of all biryanis ! The classic vijaywada biryani won’t disappoint you! We love the Lime soda ! The starters karipaku chicken, chicken 65 are our go to .
