    Monterey has its surprises with this little gem. The restaurant has nice feel inside, adorned with cute Indian statuettes and blue string lighting. The waiters are attentive and have thick accents. My chicken tikka masala was tender and the creamy tomato curry was delicious. My naan was fresh. The chai tasted homemade. I wish they had madras coffee on their menu. Excellent meal all around.

    Lamb biryani is my go to when I try a new Indian restaurant, and it was delicious good balance of spices, lamb was very tender and juicy, butter chicken and naan was very good along with the tandoori sampler, service is very good with attention to detail, parking and getting a table might be the only issue but well worth the wait

    I need to come here again. They only had a buffet when I went, but I could have stuffed my face with the rice and yellow lentils forever. The naan was delicious. Also, their menu lists actual vegan dishes; not just vegetarian.

    The best Indian food ever, hands down. Pretty much obsessed with this place! Every time we come into town we eat here every single day. Authentic as well as amazing chef skills. I highly recommend this place.
