Service is highly professional and courteous. Food can sometimes take awhile to cook (15-30 minutes) if busy or large party, I recommend ordering appetizers or fried stuff as it comes out quick. Order literally anything and you will like it. It's easy to just order and be content and satisfied with 1 item and pay under $20, but there's so much to try and easy to spend $60 between two people. Definitely come here if you are looking for very high quality Indian cuisine.

The place was crowded. Which raised our expectations. We heard good things about this place, he ce decided to celebrate my wife's birthday there. But was thoroughly let down. The food was just OK. Ambience was nothing to talk about. And service was just a joke. We were seated and then bot given water until 15 minutes. the waiters were like oblivious of our presence. Finally someone took our order without asking spice levels. We had to ask twice for water. So far we saw 3-4 red flags and finally our food arrived. Everything was banal. i wondered why is it so hyped. Only saving grace was Chole Bhatura. Overall below average experience.

It was SO delicious. It’s my favorite place to eat Indian food. They have vegetarian options and lots to choose from! They have shows that play on the tv and nice seating. I really love it! It also has nice staff and fast service. The chai is so authentic and has free refills. They give you different kind of sugars to choose from. For the food they always give all the dipping sauces!

I think Indian food can sometimes get a bad wrap, but I find that it's just a matter of finding the restaurants that are doing it right and using fresh ingredients. Most of my Indian food experiences were from friends from India sharing their favorite foods or cooking it myself. I believe this is the first time I have actually eaten Indian food at a restaurant, and it did not disappoint!

I saw the street foods were highly recommended when looking through the reviews so I went with the Dahi Puri and the Amritsari Chole Kulche. I would say the Dahi Puri ranked pretty high on being one of the best things I have ever eaten. They were bursting with all sorts of flavors and you could taste the freshness in the ingredients. The mint chutney and spices came through nicely in each bite. I also found the yogurt to be a definitive taste in these bites. Regardless, each ingredient played a key role in making these so delicious and you could still identify everything going on without there being an overpowering flavor.

For the Amritsari Chole Kulche, I was worried it was going to be to spicy when I was told it was a medium on the spice scale. I know Indian food can get pretty spicey, and I am not a spicey food person. However, it had more of a mild heat to it versus burning your mouth and ruining the dining experience if you don't prefer the spice. The pindi chana masala that came with the leavened bread reminded me almost of a variation on chili. The spices and flavors were upfront in this dish and it was pretty good. You could also chose to eat the bread with the chickpea dish, mint chutney, or tamrind chutney making each bite unique.

Stumbling upon restaurants tucked away in strip malls has yet to prove me wrong. From the food, to the cleanliness, to the attention to detail in the food, it's hard not to give this place a shot. Personally, I would definitely come back here to try more authentic indian food!

As a Punjabi Indian and someone from NY with a taste for quality, this is one of the best authentic Indian restaurants in the country. The service is with a smile, with great recommendations and passion. The food is superb and recommend the mini roti, Maki roti and sagh, vada sliders and the dehi puri! Incredible experience.

My son and I were very pleased with the service and food. We had the vegetable pakora, garlic naan, beef Josh, lamb josh, and a mango lassi.
When I am in the area I will definitely make it a point to visit this spot.
Took take away for Paneer Makhni

First look of it made me worried about quantity however the side rice were ok in quantity.

Lucky that the quantity was less as the taste was also below average

I drove from Eden prairie to try this restaurant and was disappointed
