Great food, have loved everything I got from there. All the standard dishes have been delicious, and the idli fries SLAP! Tamarind chutney seems more flavorful and spiced than the standard stuff. Definitely going to keep coming here!

The flavors are fresh, clean, and complex. Hands down my favorite food for lunch around the office. Staff are so warm and kind too!

best Indian Food ever! ’ve ordered takeout multiple times—and it’s consistently incredible. I’m obsessed. The quality is unmatched. The Chicken Tikka Kebabs are perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and their achar (Indian pickle) is hands-down the best I’ve ever had—vibrant, and deeply delicious. Every order has been fresh, and beautifully prepared. Highly recommend!

I was skeptical based on some reviews. But man, their food was delicious. Everything cooked to order, fresh ingredients. I could taste flavors from different ingredients and depth of them all. Highly recommended!

Their new dine in space is small, but great for a quick lunch. Order ahead, and when you get there the food will be ready. Good, quick, filling meals for a reasonable price.

Tried the box combo with rice, tikka masala, baingan bharta and naan. The naan was really good and tasted freshly made & soft. The tikka masala was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Baingan was good too but ofc not as good as the tikka masala. I asked for it to be spicy and it lived up to it! Overall 5/5 and probably now my go to Indian spot in the area.

This is one of our go to spots for a quick bite - I always get the spicy Chana masala because the spice level is EXACTLY where I like mine to be while still being flavorful. Can’t go wrong with this place

Not a sit and eat spot, but that's the only not so pleasant thing about it. Excellent service and the food is always great! Super large choices in cuisine/delicacies, and care goes into every dish. I'm a regular and I'll always come back.

AMAZING food! I got the dinner box with two entrees (chicken tikka masala, mattar curry w/ paneer) and upgraded to garlic naan. Also got the veggie samosas. I thought the dinner box was a great value for what you pay and it was seriously delicious.

Update 12/3/25: This has become our go-to Indian in Oakland. Consistently amazing. The "curry chicken" is so good, as is sag paneer and just about everything else I've had. Don't miss the naan, made in-house in their oven. No seating, to-go only, really friendly. ========= Original 6/25: 2 item lunch special with veg vindaloo and butter chicken. So tasty! Got spicy, I will ask for medium spicy next time haha
