What this place lacks in ambiance, they make up for in food! Delicious! The Naan was absolutely perfect, crispy, and garlicky. The butter chicken was the best I've had, no joke. It had the right heat. But I'm sure they can turn the heat up. We ordered butter chicken and 2 plates of biryani. It fed 5 of us with plenty left over. It's a must stop when we head that way for family visits.

My first time trying Indian food and it was delicious, will definitely be coming back. Had the chicken curry and chicken Tikka masala and they were equally delicious. Got a 5 out of 10 heat and it was perfect. Garlic Naan and spicy garlic Naan were both phenomenal.

My first time EVER having Indian food! I'm not a curry fan, so I've always been afraid of trying any of the foods other than garlic Naan, lol. I ordered the butter chicken, mild. And garlic Naan. It was AMAZING!! There's easily enough food here for 2 or 3 meals! Fast and polite service, clean seating area as well.

I had a date here am not from the area , the date said it was at a truck stop half way there and at first I was skeptical the date wasn’t to excited about Indian food but I’ve always loved Indian food as alll that I can normally find is diner food or McDonald’s or the same ol Mexican food every Mexican restaurant some how clones . I walk in and the smell ... it reminded me of my first taste of India and I got excited .the atmosphere was good the place was clean I ordered a goat biryani spicy ofc a mango lassi and naan bread. The wait was maybe 10 minutes not bad at all the staff was friendly the portion size Was big and not like a double quarter pounder extra large fries it was bigger . For 19 bucks it was a steal I ate at 1 took half it home at some a hr ago and I still have more left for lunch tomorrow . I still have about a pound left of food . Verry friendly staff . Wish I lived closer but any time I am near there I will most definitely stop again

My first time there. I had the Tikki Masala. You can order spicy or medium. I had medium and it was still pretty spicy, but delicious. The staff was very nice and I will go back. I had a bite of the Butter Chicken from one of our group and will order that next time. This restaurant is inside a truck stop, so it's not a fancy location, but clean and pleasant.
