    I went here with my Girlfriend for valentines Day! It was such a great date spot and the service and ambiance was top notch. They gave every table a rose and chocolates on their way out to celebrate the special day. Would highly recommend this place to anyone for date night or just great Indian food!

    Always enjoyable to have a lunch buffet. The ambience was lovely with large windows overlooking Harvard Square. White linen tablecloths and a more elegant atmosphere made it feel extra nice. The food was very good. I ordered raita and a mango lassi yo go with. Flavorful food rich with spice but not hot.

    Excellent food and wonderful service. We only worried about thr parking. But other than that, we had a pretty nice experience. They brought us a nice cake with a candle on it, as it was our anniversary.
