Blown away. This was my first time trying Indian food, I got the chicken tikka masala and my boyfriend got the butter chicken. Both were absolutely delicious. Little pricy, but we will be back for sure!

Food is awesome. Best Indian food we have found in Maine so far.. awesome flavor and spices. If you like it hot, they have a very hot option on many dishes that will surely meet the demand. Excellent, thnx.

The food was delicious! We will definitely be going back. Our server was knowledgeable about everything on the menu. She was very helpful with picking out my vegan options. The only complaint was there were dirty hand prints all over the wall by our table but everything else seemed really clean.

Everything was absolutely amazing from the mango lasi to the poori. Wow just wow. Best Indian I have ever had! The chutneys were out of this world on the naan and poori. The mango lasi was sweet and tangy and gone in 5 minutes. Veggie fritters in the bombai masala were out of this world delicious. Staff was friendly. Food is made to order so expect a little bit of a wait. Will be back!

Delicious vegan dishes, very flavorful & savory. Beautifully presented garlic Naan. Lovely service from the owner. Go here for the food, not the atmosphere,
although it's mellow and fine. We're from Portland and we'll definitely make our way back here specifically for the vegan food. It's worth traveling for.

This is hands down the worst Indian "Food" experience I have ever had.

I can't comment on the atmosphere, since i didn't go in we did take out.

I can't comment on the service either for the same reason.

What I can comment on is the "Indian Food". I ordered a lamb dish, and my wife ordered a veggie dish. Both were disgustingly salty, so salty that you could barely taste anything, the salt literally burnt your tongue. My lamb dish that was supposed to be "Selected very lean lamb cubes sauteed in ginger onion and day nuts cooked in low-fat homemade yogurt sauce." turned out to be chicken and overcooked chicken at that and tasted like canned cream of chicken soup that had been left on the counter for a week. No Ginger, and no nuts.

The Khumb Mutter veggie dish which had "Fresh baby mushrooms and green peas cooked in golden brown onions and special Indian spices." Had one mushroom slice and no green peas.

Maybe it was a one of, since there were so many good reviews, but I suggest if you get take out from here, you check the food before you leave. Into the compost bin it goes.

I don’t know how folks can give this place a bad review. I have been here about 50 times back many years, both in Portland and Biddeford. I have had Indian food in several restaurants around the country, but primarily in Boston. My wife has hit similar restaurants all over the world. We both love this place. The Chicken Korma and Lamb Rogan Josh, and the garlic naan are our highly recommended items. So, so delicious. A very nice family sharing their amazing food in Southern Maine. Everyone I have taken here has raved about it, including my relatives from downtown Boston… and the prices are reasonable too.

Just a local guy with a refined pallet sharing facts.
