The place is very nice, and it is always packed. It is understandable since the food there is really good. There were 6 of us and we ordered 6 different dishes, and all of them were so delicious. Nice, clean, and cozy place. The servers were generally friendly but there was one server that was not nice and not helpful, and because of that we would always try to ask other servers. The price for the dishes weren’t too bad, they ranged between 13-15 for the dishes we got. Overall I would definitely get food from here again (maybe takeout since it’s always packed and all). But it’s still good to go there to enjoy a meal with friends and family.

This is the best Indian restaurant around the Purdue campus in West Lafayette, IN. I was surprised with their food quality, taste and the pricing. Cheaper than most restaurants in big urban cities. I visited this place three times during my four day stay in West Lafayette. A must visit place for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine.

This is now my favorite Indian cuisine in Lafayette. The Samosas are crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked everyone. The mint chutney is the best I’ve had in terms of flavor and texture. My favorite meal there is the Chicken Korma. It’s nutty, buttery, and very rich. Must try!

I really enjoy the lunch buffet. (11-3). Would also recommend shrimp biryani. Do not get too spicy if you cannot tolerate. Delicious food and I come here often! Both the dine in for dinner or lunch, and the takeout are great options. I would try the mango milk shake. Pictured is the chaat and another is my lunch buffet plate

My favorite place to eat in town! This is the place I bring everyone when they visit Lafayette! :) The food is phenomenal! Things to try: lamb biriyani, saag paneer, dal makhani! You can customize your spiciness level, so you can bring people who maybe don’t like spicy food. The team at this restaurant is hard working and attentive to customer needs. Love them!

12/03- My first time and a great experience. I took my wife for lunch to another restaurant, which is closed on Tuesday. That’s when we found this gem. You’re greeted as if you’re an old friend. They offer lunch special as well as a lunch buffet. The variety is great because you will find something for everyone. If you’re Vegan, no problem. They have a good selection on both the menu or buffet. The place is very clean and plenty of space so you don’t feel crowded. You get people from all over which for me it’s nice to see when people expand their taste buds. I enjoy the Chicken Masala, Chicken Curry, the white rice and yellow rice with potatoes. I had their version of garbanzo beans. They had a paneer dish my wife enjoyed. They had a section for a good ol’ salad I used fresh jalapenos to top off my dishes. They had a spicy chicken dish but I forgot the name. If you see spicy, it has a kick. They have naan to tone down the spice and a few dessert dishes to sweeten your day. The service is great and in my case I drink water so I never went without it during my meal. The entire staff is friendly and willing it make you feel comfortable. If you’re adventurous and want to try a different place give them a try and let others know. Ya Sabes

Food was good, my first time going to an Indian restaurant and it was awesome. The prices are pretty good (around 15 bucks). The waiters were kind and open to help. My pictures are not the best but the food is
