I ordered Hyderabadi goat biriyani through Grub-hub. The food was delivered fine, and was packed carefully. The biriyani was highly aromatic, and excellent. It’s one of the best biriyanis that I have devoured in a while, especially in the usa. The food was fresh and sumptuous, and the portion size was huge. It came with a side of ‘raita’, a very typical Indian condiment made with yogurt. Unlike majority of Indian restaurants ( in the us), this raita was thick and very fresh. I loved the food and can’t wait to order again.Update: I visited them, and had an experience of in-house dining. My own Eid special night out was excellent with their extraordinary biriyani. The service was great and prompt. The restaurant was neat and clean. They gave some complementary papadum to start with. Overall, it was very nice experience.

Nice place for Indian comfort food. It was our first time, we were in the area so chose Awadh. We really like the food and the service. Archana was our server she was very polite and knowledgeable. We mostly ordered paneer items but to my surprise they all were different from each other and were tasty. Both the paneer items in starter were yummy. If you want to try something different in paneer then paneer pan fry is the dish. Its dry and the red sauce is spicy and very very tasty. It was exactly what we were looking to. The Gajar ka halwa was super. House made Gajar ka halwa was moderately sweet so felt good. We are looking forward to visit again to try something different this time. P.s The decor inside may trick you.(Mexican theme).

We ate here today for my birthday and I would say the atmosphere is very nice. Clean and spacious with very friendly staff. The food is delicious! You can truly taste the freshness of every dish we ordered. Decent helping too! Worth coming back! Delicious!

Really good Indian food! We had the Goat Ghana Masala and Lamb Vindaoo (spicy) along with garlic naan. All were amazing! The vindaloo was good spicy level (not hurt your face hot, but it was goot heat), amazing flavor! Can't wait to go back!

Fantastic!!! Easily our favorite Indian restaurant since moving cross country 18 months ago.

I was very surprised to see the owner and his wife are serving, this itself tells you allot. They are very friendly. The food was delicious made with care. This is a must try family owned restaurant.

Amazing food with amazing staff and great atmosphere!I have tried different Indian cuisines but definitely this one was one of the best. Highly recommended .

Excellent food at very reasonable prices. Came here for Christmas because I had to work during the day and did not have the energy to cook after. It was an amazing holiday meal and I was very happy with my choice. The pan-fried paneer was amazing, even through the heat (my partner likes things much spicer than my poor face can handle) and the chicken coriander soup was to die for. We're already planning to make this a tradition when work takes up my holidays!

The food here is DELICIOUS! You will not regret coming. We came for lunch on a Monday and, sadly, business seems so slow—we were the only ones there. Oddly too, the dining room service wasn’t rapid, but we weren’t in a hurry (kitchen was fast though). We had the Shahi paneer which was subtly sweet. And the lamb korma was nutty and creamy, though I wish the lamb itself was more tender.The butter naan smelled like they had just churned the butter—the scent was heavenly! I wanted to wrap myself in the naan like a blanket. The portions were actually really generous (the bowls you see in my photos were pretty deep). The vegetable samosa had a bit of a kick—the shell was crisp and flaky and the filling was moist. NOT overdone at all like a lot of samosas I’ve tried. The decor was unique, but a bit run down. The bathroom was very old looking and needs updating. But I still would come back. I hope this place makes it through the pandemic, it’s really very good.

This place gets all the stars! This is our family's favorite restaurant and is requested by my picky kids, ages 6 to 10, above all other places. They love the Malai Tikka, Chicken Korma, and mango lassees! The owners are absolutely amazing and treat you with such kindness. The food is delicious! We've tried so many different menu items and have enjoyed them all. We always order extra to take home because it's SO GOOD!
