JanaJana: Order quick, food preparation takes some time, but it's worth the wait!

Washingtonian MagazineWashingtonian Magazine: The flavors of the kitchen’s chicken makhani are at once amped up and complex, and it’s hard to resist sopping up all the tomatoey gravy with blistered rounds of cilantro-sprinkled naan.

arisharish: the tomato curry (e.g., in the paneer makhan masala) is out of this world!
