We absolutely love this place and their food. The family that owns it is so wonderful. They cook really great food. We love the paneer tikka masala, butter chicken, chicken saag, and all of the biryanis (here we have goat biryani). The flavors are so rich and amazing.

I was never an Indian food fan. Now I go here three to four times a week to get the butter chicken. I've had the butter chicken at most the local Indian restaurants where I live but this one tops them all. I love Mom and Pop food and they know how to cook it! They're also open late which is amazing! Please try their food and rate them awesome because I don't want them going anywhere.

Very good food. Veg biryani and mysore bonda are very tasty. Especially south Indians missing home food will definitely enjoy the food.

I live in North but specially come here to try out their recipes. First time I tried in 2017 and became a huge fan of their food, wish they had another store in North. So far I have tried Haleem, Chicken Curry, Biryani, etc. and never disappointed. Do try this late night Indian restaurant.

By far the most delicious South Indian restaurant I've come across in and around Phoenix. Service is a bit slow but I've enjoyed eating most of the dishes. My favourite are Pakwan special biryani, andhra fish curry and goat curry. Cut mirchi was very spicy and I was little disappointed with chicken 65. But every dish has good flavor. They don't really make any dish very spicy despite given instructions. I believe that's because they don't want to spoil the original flavor.

Food was incredible. Photos are of what was left after our meal. Very pleasant staff. I love eating Indian food and was impressed with the wide number of options in the menu. Be careful, when you ask for spicy they give it to you!

If you want authentic Indian cuisine, this your place. Maybe there’s a slight language/culture barrier, that’s ok though. I prefer authentic over an Americanized Version. The chicken Biryani was amazingly fragrant the chicken was falling off the bone. Next I ordered paneer tikka masala .. not knowing it was cheese. But let me tell you, they must of fried the cheese because it had just the right crisp and with the masala sauce And veggie samosas are chiefs kiss, not too spicy ! Oh yea and the garlic naan is everything!! Over all I had great experience. Btw I phone ordered my food and picked it up hot!

We had the goat curry, fried chicken, and Goat Paya soup with garlic naan. First of all the photos do not do the food justice. It's a small Mom and Pop restaurant, and the food is even served in plastic and styrofoam containers. Nonetheless, everything we tried was delicious! Easily the best most authentic Indian Pakistani food we've had in a long time. We will be returning to introduce our friends and family to this amazing food.
