This place is always SO good! I have come to eat at this place four times so far but I wish I could come more often. I absolutely love their butter chicken and the yogurt sauce they have is amazing with rice the owner is absolutely the sweetest person and also his son is very respectful and sweet! I suggest you try this gem of a restaurant! Also, the cheese Naan is DELICIOUS TRY THE CUCUMBER SALAD PLEASE. I just tried it October 15 and I am HOOKED!!!

Great food and excellent service! The Gobi Lasuni is a must try— perfectly spicy but not overpowering. The wait staff were super friendly, and the wait for food was relatively short.

Came for Mothers day. First time here. The service, atmosphere and staff were terrific. I'm not an Indian food fan so I can't make comments but everyone enjoyed their food and mine was good too.

Literally the best Indian restaurants I’ve had in Baton Rouge! The foods are delicious and if you go there you must get a Mango Lassi (forgot to take a photo of that) and then have to try the lobster Masala super yummy! Even though the prices are little pricy but the service are very nice and the food and spices makes your tongue dance! I would definitely go there again when I have the chance!

The food was really excellent. We had tomato soup , Gobi Lasuni and Biriyani. Everything was so yummy. The restaurant has good parking facility. It’s a good spot for Indian lunch if you are driving to or from New Orleans. They have a bar too.
