We ordered all the classics — butter chicken, garlic naan, tandoori roti — plus the chicken karahi our server recommended, and every single dish exceeded expectations. Truly outstanding. I don’t say that lightly. We go out to eat often, and it’s rare — maybe once every couple of years — that a meal gives us this kind of genuine joy and dopamine rush. I walked out feeling lucky, like we had just discovered something special. Service was beyond Michelin restaurant service. And the reason why is it checked all the boxes, yet there was a touch of family there. There was pride and passion, not just a great experienced professional server you can find at other top restaurants.
Even our 3-year-old — the pickiest eater we know — did his little happy dance after just a few bites of the butter chicken and rice. That’s when I knew this place was legitimately bussin.
It actually took me a couple of days to sit down and write this, because it deserves to be said right: restaurants like this do not come around often, and when they do, they should be appreciated and supported. I’ve lived in SCV for over 20 years waiting for something like this — authentic, flavorful, made with care, and clearly not cutting corners.
Whether you come for their affordable lunch special, the incredible AYCE buffet, or just on a lazy Sunday because a trusted neighbor recommended it — you’ll leave wondering, “How is this possible?”
Even the pistachio ice cream stands out. It doesn’t taste like the artificial kind we’ve all gotten too used to — it tastes real. It makes you question whether we’ve been conditioned to accept anything less.
This place is a gem. SCV finally has something truly special — don’t sleep on it.Thanks Grandma.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food! I tried the samosas, shrimp tandoori, chicken tikki masala, and the garlic naan. My favorite was the shrimp, they came out cooked perfectly and the flavors were on point. I would definitely recommend trying this place if you are having trouble figuring out which Indian restaurant to go to.

The 5 star rating is well deserved. The buffet is a really good value and a great way to try a lot of dishes in one visit. Please try the began bhartha at least once in your life if you are a ratatouille or caramelized onion fan. Its a family owned place, and you can taste the love and years of experience in each bite.

What an amazing culinary experience. From the food to the service this place was amazing! I had the lamb vindaloo and it was BUSSIN BUSSIN! Garlic cheese naan was so AMAZING! I tried this awesome cheese pancake dessert thing and it was hitting at first but after like the 3rd and 4th bite I was hooked!! The young lady who helped us was spectacular. She was so knowledgeable about everything. She was an absolute delight! This is one of my new favorite spots!
Wow this place is the real deal.. first time stopping by was greeted by a sweet young lady who told me everything is made from her grandmothers recipe.. the smell is what brought me in truth be told lol.. I opted for the lunch buffet and wow sooooo goood!!!! The chicken Marsala was so delicious and the fact they make you fresh naan bread in the back and bring it to your table.. 10/10 will definitely be back..
And may I add.. plenty of vegan and veggie options
