“mmm. They have a weekend buffet to get ghee-fully stuffed at (get it, get it?).”
“I remember what it looked like a few years ago and the renovations they did really paid off.”
“The most delicious Indian food on the island, (especially the chicken makhni!!), that I've had yet.”

I'm not from Staten Island and I'm told that this restaurant closed and recently reopened. If you haven't been here…GO NOW!!! The food is excellent….flavorful samosa, curries unlike any others and delicious Gulab Jamun. The decor is worthy of Manhattan….a must on Staten Island! *A fifth visit and still a must !
The owner is a mensch! The food is good. I cried when they left Bleeker Street. If I lived on Staten Island I would go here more.
My husband orders from here every now and again.
It's good Indian. I'm not amazing or very innovative, just kinda typical Indian food for Americans.
I've been here a few times first time was awesome, I was super excited to finally eat some good Indian food. We entered around 8pm on a Saturday an they weren't very busy, bar area empty as well as the lounge. I was thankful for the great service we received. Around 9Pm is when it started getting busy, parking was okay very small lot but there's street parking. Not very fun for kids but nothing an iPad can't fix. The food came out nice an fast the food was delicious the nan bread was my fav as well was the chicken curry. Know we went back again an it was a total disaster, food came out all wrong an about 45min of a wait to get our food. Mine wasn't even placed so while they fixed the other food, I still had to sit an watch everyone else eat theirs an wait. The server didn't come an apologize to me & my family. We weren't noticed at all. My uncle was furious, I felt embarrassed for him an bothered be no one even showed curtesy to us to at least apologize for 1 the long wait for our food, 2 messing up everyone's ordered 3 waiting another 30 mins for our original order. After all said an done the server comes an I reach out an ask him what's the problem why did we have to wait so long exc he says well where short handed a few people called out an there's only 2 of us working, I mean okay I get it stuff happened but come one at least apologize an give us a round of drinks or a free bread or something, I mean just an acknowledgment of their service, an apology would of been fine as well. Over all I'm not sure if I'll return again, not bc the food isn't great bc it is, just didn't feel happy with that 2nd time of going.
Nice decor, clean bathroom. Those are only good things about this place.
Vegetarian snack platter was OK, just that.
Fixings for papadam were obviously passed from previous table without refreshing, one was half empty. Cheese naan tasted like quesadilla, not in a good way.
I ordered Crab masala, and was presented with something that resembled deli meat in sauce. After asking the waiter about it, I was told it's imitation crabmeat, because real crab meat "melts during cooking". Wait, what??
Tasted just like it looked – slimey and papery, which was a shame because their spices were good .
Round all up with watered down house wine, this place is on "I will not go back" list for me.
Everything here is on point. Meat is tender and fresh white meat, naan basket was delicious, and the vindaloo was perfect for my tastes. The food wasn't greasy at all. Decor is cute too, would be nice for a date, try to make lunch specials to save a few bucks.
They updated their look drastically, NYC type of restaurant ambiance. The price reflects on the new change.
However, the food is on par with the new look. It's tasty, fresh and delicious. It's the only Indian restaurant in the Island that has great competition with other indian restaurant in NYC & NJ. The vegetarians dishes are refreshing and not greasy, aloo mutter etc. The meat dishes, chicken kebab, are fresh and very tasty are one of few sample dishes we've eaten there. They're drinks are remarkable and refreshing.
The service is great and quick. They're constantly refilling our glass, cleaning our table and attentive to our needs. No regrets dining here.
Food is costly, where you're getting quality food.
New renovated, we decided to try this place for dinner. It is beautifully decorated inside and luckily, there was no wait. The staff was very attentive. The food was okay, however. Nothing out of this world. We tried the cheese and tomato nan & I got the chicken mango dish, both okay. For dessert, we tried the Cheese Balls in milk syrup & I thought it was horrible. I had one bite and could not bring myself to eat anymore. Overall, an okay place.
