Reviews
- “Wonderful Indian food and kind service in a spotless dining room. The CHAAT SAMOSA was a revelation—bright, tangy, a little kick. We’ll be back.”
- “DAL SOUP was perfectly comforting and filling. Honestly could’ve stopped there. The SAFFRON BREAD BASKET (naan trio) is a share-must.”
- “Our kids loved the BUTTER CHICKEN (ordered mild). GOAT VINDALOO brought serious flavor with potatoes; rich without being greasy.”
- “This is now our go-to in the Lansing area. Friendly staff, quick turnaround, and every PANEER and TIKKA we’ve tried has tasted newly made. Ask for ‘Indian spicy’ if you want heat—the kitchen delivers.”
- “Small place, great service, and medium spice was exactly right. PANEER BUTTER MASALA was silky, and there are lots of VEGETARIAN choices. Consistently excellent—even via delivery.”
