Wow!!! If I can give this place higher than a 5,I would not think twice to do so. Every item we ordered was just perfect. No complaints with any item. Even the chutneys that come with pappri as complimentary were amazing. Wonderful service from everyone at this establishment. The inside is well decorated. I mean very well decorated. But the food, it is amazing. I know we will be back here again.

My first time checking out this restaurant and I was BLOWN away. The food: Everything was delicious and I loved how they could customize the spice levels for each dish. And it's fully vegetarian!! The beetroot kebabs were so unique and filling. I loved the met hai malai paneer- so creamy and comforting with the crispy garlic naan. They soya chaap was something I've never had before but loved the texture and marination (and addition of protein!!) I was stuffed but had to try the Indo Chinese options- the gobi manchurian has a great sauce on it, so flavorful. The noodles were okay, lacking some flavor and heat. The service: the waiters were so helpful with recommendations and speedy with the food The portions were huge and the prices were fair. A great deal, overall. I can't wait to go back to try their other items.

Food was average (spicier side). However credit to the staff taking orders and packing the orders to make sure dietary restrictions and instructions are followed. They have few vegan options which you can discuss with the manager to make sure.

Let me preface by saying that it is so hard to impress me with good Indian food, and shimla peppers truly stole my heart! We went to dinner on a weeknight, there was plenty of seating and no reservations were needed. The restaurant has a very homey feel with beautiful decor and great music! We were attended to right away and we were in and out of the place in less than an hour! We ended up getting Gobi Manchurian and shared the Amritsari kulcha with chole. The Gobi Manchurian was perfect to share - the sauce was absolutely incredible! It was tangy, salty, spicy, and had the perfect combination of flavors! The Gobi was crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside and the bell peppers and onions on the sizzler pan added so much smokiness! We loved this so much! The Amritsari kulcha with chole was a masterpiece. I have never tasted a kulcha with chole as good as this meal outside of india! It reminded me of home! The kulcha was stuffed and was covered with butter and was so delicious even on its own. The chole added so much more to the dish and was flavored impeccably! Better yet, it came with mango lassi which completed the whole meal! I'm still thinking of this dish! If you have never been, this is your sign to go and pls do yourself a favor and order the kulcha + chole. You will not be disappointed! I cannot wait to go back and try more items from their menu!

This is my first time at this place. The staffs were friendly, courteous and our orders came quick. Since it was a weekday, it was less crowded. They gave us a complimentary pappad with chutney. The ambiance was okay and not great. It looked a little tacky, however they can accommodate large groups. They had Chef's special and Navratri (an Indian festival)Special dishes in the menu. We ordered the Chef's special Makai Galouti kabab, tomato soup and Tava Soya Chaap with Rumali roti. The starter was melt in the mouth and yummy. Tomato soup was creamy and tangy. The rumali roti was absolutely delicious and soft. Overall, the food was great and I would visit again to try out their other dishes.

Went here after a recommendation from a friend for catering. We ordered Dal Makhani 3.5/5 Paneer Tikka Masala 4/5 Tandoori Roti -5/5 Pudina Paratha- 4/5 The food tasted good and definitely will recommend it. Not sure how good their buffet is, I went around 6 pm for a pick up and there were not many people but for pick up there were more orders and I kept hearing that tell the customers we are out on couple of items. I saw reviews about the manager, I didn't get the opportunity to speak with him as he seemed occupied and least bothered but there was another guy who was very nice and spoke to me and answered my questions. Need to try it more before I write more about this place. Ambiance is just ok, it's is like a roadside Dhaba decor in my opinion that's also a very popular form of ambiance in India. And I'm pretty sure their chef is not South Indian specially after tasting the Dal. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

A fun colorful vibe hidden in a small strip mall just off Route 59, Shimla is our go to place for Indian vegetarian food. While they don't have my favorite, dosas, they have a wide variety of vegetarian options. The main draw this Saturday evening was the buffet for $20 you get quite a variety of appetizers, rice, naan, and quite a few vegetarian dishes with paneer or chick peas as your protein plus dessert. My husband got the buffet and I went with the chole bhature which was not too greasy and very tasty. Fast attentive, no frill service with a bit loud music and televisions playing Bollywood movies, not my thing but maybe for others.
