    My family’s favorite spot! Firstly, hats off to management and the staff. 10 stars! They are fabulous. We’ve ordered most of the menu honestly and there is nothing I wouldn’t reccomend but my top favorite items would be the Saag, cheese naan, lacha paranta, smoky kebab, and OMG the karahi chicken…. The lamb chops are outstanding also :) oh and the mango lassi! Must haves. Located next to a parking garage, always great to make a reservation beforehand (it’s always packed!) this place is a desi gem. Thanks Khan Saab - See you soon!

    We visited on Christmas Eve so the crowd was expected but overall an amazing experience! The bread with the oil and vinegar dip was so tasty. The added chili flakes gave it more flavor. I ordered the linguini Vongole (I can’t remember the name) and it was so delicious! I wish I had a spoon to drink the remaining sauce! My best friend who is very picky about Italian food loved her dish as well! She had the past with the shrimp and crab. The drinks were good. The tiramisu was excellent. So happy we came here for Christmas Eve dinner. Will definitely go back!

    We were seated promptly as per our reservation timing. Staff are very attentive. The meat servers seems to be working properly their rounds since we did not have to wait long. The buffet side choices were varied and prepared well. I see that this place is well staffed and managed as from seating to billing out, everything is done efficiently and promptly.
