"Sam was fantastic. He treated us to some awesome sauces and we had a great meal sitting down here. The kitchen sounds very happy and that was kind of cool definitely come. We’re definitely coming back the best food here is gotta be the waffle fries, The tandoori chicken wings, and Gyro platter. We’re originally from New York City and this was pretty good for eating Halal trucks in New York City"

"This restaurant was recommended by family and it absolutely didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious, fresh and clearly prepared with care. We ordered the tandoori dings, trio meats wrap, chicken tikka masala curry and the rice box - every dish was flavorful and satisfying. We love the fresh naan also! Pairing with a mango lassi made the whole meal even better. This isn’t really a dine in joint, though they do have about 6 stools if you want to sit for a quick bite. It’s more of a grab and go but the quality of the food makes it worth the trip. Overall, I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great, well-prepared food in Buffalo."

"I’ve tried a few Indian dishes before but THIS restaurant is literally my new favorite. The freshness flavor and presentation was top notch! We ordered grub hub delivery at like 10. Even at that late at night the food was amazing. I loved everything we ordered and cannot get the fresh cucumber flavor from the white sauce out of my mind. I even called this afternoon to let management know how great it was ! We love you guys! Thank for providing us with such amazing food!"
