Very flavorful food at a good price. Servers are also very friendly. It had a very nice mom and pop vibe, and felt like a corner store in the city
The gentleman who waited on us was very kind, respectful. honorable, gentle and especially generous. He served us our food with love. He explained how long it would take for the vegetable Pakora to be made fresh, 40 minutes. He respectfully asked us if we had time and willingness to wait for that. Which we were. We got the mild spicy chicken tikka masala. it was outstandingly good with Jasmine rice. The garlic naan bread was fresh homemade melted butter on top outstanding flavor. We also got the vegetable Pokora, which was made fresh to order and came out on time as expected. I got the black lentil Dal soup medium spicy, which was also excellent. Best for last- And as an added bonus; The gentleman who waited on us gave me crispy and milky dessert as I was leaving no charge. Delicious.. we will be back.. It was easy to wait for our food because We also enjoyed shopping in the Indian goods store and got sesame seed cardamom, dessert treats, and Ashwaganda powder reasonably priced $3.99 each..
The best Indian food we have had in the extended Bay Area! So, the ambience is terrible as in it is inside a grocery store with limited seating. But oh boy, everything that they serve is just super super yum. Paranthas with butter, extra large serving of sweet lassi and tasty and hot tea (not the one that some make in the morning and keep serving from a flask), chhole bhautre, naans, paneer dish. We were feeling like driving 2 hours from the Bay Area to have this food again. They have very limited options though but whatever they make is worth every cent. Don't think, just go.
Best butter chicken and garlic naan I've had in Madera ! The gentleman working there is super nice and quick service too ! There's tables inside to sit and eat at and it's also a grocer store with delicious drinks , totally going to be my go to place for butter chicken !
Loved this little grocery store/diner.. Once you walk in, you know what you are instore for. The food was excellent. I had some rice and goat curry, and it couldnt have been any better. The portions are just right. If your in the area, this is a must for indian food.
Best spot in town! Feels like grandmas kitchen. Fish Pokora is my favorite! Made to order so you know it's fresh every time.
Delicious food and a very reasonable price. My honey and I got two plates of chicken Tikka masala, with garlic naan and a Coke and paid $36. It was a lovely dinner date .
If you don't go here you are missing out. The food and grocery selection are great and the only authentic Indian selection around. We came to try the food and we were not disappointed! To start, there was a limited menu, so you know everything is going to be a specialty of the cook's. Then you look at the selection and it's perfection. All the classics, samosas and their sauces and paneer, etc. But the knock your socks off was the goat meat curry. O.M.G. You can absolutely tell they used real goat meat. Yum! Perfectly fluffy rice, amazing bread and everything else. We came for the food, but were also very impressed by the grocery selection. Wow! All the shelf stable things you could ask for, so many lentils/rice/dahl/other grains. All the spices! Even a massive gallon or more sized jar of tumeric. Garam masala spices are packaged and ready for you to grind at home and enjoy the smell of the freshly crushed spice mix. Teas galore and treats such as Frooti drinks like in my photo. Such a treat to enjoy this restaurant and meet the owners. They were so gracious when my kids were acting awful running all around.
