Everything was very delicious. Lamb achar was very unique and fruity. Onion naan had plenty of filling. 

My favorite place to eat! The meats are always well marinated and the spices are just right! 👍 
I personally recommend the chicken Tikka kebab.

We LOVE their <<taggedItemId=2426187>>Chicken Achari<</taggedItemId>>! You need to specify spicy level otherwise the default seems "mild". We always order "medium" spicy and it's great :)

I love this place! Food is great and authentic.

The bread smelled like a dirty dish rag.
Overall very bland.
We won't dine here again.
