Our food was top notch! This place had the best of everything! I loved our dishes, the dessert, appetizers, the chai tea was AMAZING. There are so many different options for everything you might want. The spiciness was perfect, I got light spice, another had hot, and another medium. All of us felt happy about our heat levels. The naan was fresh and delicious! We want to come back next time for sure! Worth it!

Really enjoyed our meal here! The mango lassi was delightful and refreshing. We got Aloo Chaat as an appetizer. Really enjoyed the textures and flavors. The paneer naan was warm, fresh, and delicious. I got the rogan Josh extra spicy. It brought the heat! Lamb was super tender. It went over well with the basmati rice. My wife got paneer masala extra spicy as well. She really enjoyed it. The prices are very affordable for the quality you receive. Service was great, and there was a nice ambiance. If ever back in the Culpeper area, I would not hesitate to return for a great meal!

My daughter and I go here often. We love the owners. They are very hospitable and always make sure we get everything we like, made just right. My favorite is the vegetarian thali. My daughter loves the channa masala and dal tadka. I have traveled extensively in India, so I'm a little picky about my Indian food. I have liked everything I've ordered so far from this restaurant. Always delicious and fresh.

We had a great first visit! We came for their Sunday buffet and service was very friendly, run by a husband and wife duo. They were on top of everything, keeping our drinks full and things in the buffet topped off. The food was delicious, I wish I could have eaten more! We will be back whenever we’re in the area.

Extremely flavorful, sizzling coming out, and solid prices. Highly recommend getting a few things to share with the garlic naan. Had very quick service and lovely server.

Me and my cousin nick went into the restaurant, our first thoughts were wow, this place is beautiful, they had amazing Indian style music playing and we took our seat and they came and poured water instantly, amazing service throughout the entire dinner. The food was not only THE best Indian food I’ve ever had, it is also up there with the best food I’ve ever had. And If you ask them for as spicy as possible, you are in for the true Indian spice experience, they won’t hold back. Both me and my cousins eyes were watering the entire time. We will 100% be coming back. The lamb vindaloo is off the chain. Same with the butter chicken. The naan is hot and fresh and they give you plenty. The prices are excellent as well.

Every dish we ordered was excellent. I often find Indian sauces too sweet, but this was not at all the case. My sons loved the lamb samosas, and our entrees were delicious. Dishes were fairly priced as well. It’s a family-run business that strives to provide an overall great experience.

I went there with my husband and some friends. The food was very delicious with a reasonable price. The service was really fast and nice. I recommend people to visit and dine there. The ambiance is authentic too. I’d love to visit again.
