I am so happy that we have a good Indian place in rockford now! Service was great. The food tasted like I was sitting in someone's home cooking for me. Very authentic and such good flavor throughout every dish. My understanding is they will be changing out the tables and chairs and disposable plates and silverware in a couple weeks, so mid May. They said they will be adding more to their menu too at that time. If you're in the mood for Indian, ya need to come here! I'll be back soon!
Fantastic restaurant that tastes like all their food is homemade from scratch! Lots of vegetarian options to choose from, and a very cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend their masala chai, Tikka paneer masala, and garlic naan.
The food is fantastic! I ordered 3 different things to try for lunch today (I like leftovers haha). The medium spice level was spicy for this Cajun but so yummy! My Italian husband will definitely need milder when I take him so be mindful when ordering!
My husband & I have been there twice so far. Kind service and really cool cuisine. I recommend the butter chicken (pictured). The first time we were there, we ate there, and they handed us free water bottles, haha. I had the house chicken curry, which even mild, was seriously warm, but the flavor was so good. Always always always get the Naan bread (we just get the plain basic one). We will go back.
Incredible restaurant. We order the chef's recommendation--chicken biryani--on opening night. It was so good we went back the next day. The biryani was literally the best I've ever had, super authentic, fresh, flavorful, and warm. The following night we ordered butter chicken (a classic that DEFINITELY delivered) and garlic/cilantro naan. The wait for the food took only 10 minutes longer than expected, but they were so generous and gave us a FREE mango lassi (delicious smoothie with a bit of turmeric for flavor and health benefits, I believe). Love the staff, hoping to get on a first name basis with them ;) Favorite Indian restaurant I've ever been to!
