Come here for the nihari which is a curry beef stew. They nailed it. The chicken tiki Masala was good. Garlic Naan and rice completed a satisfying meal at a good price. Dont come if you dont feel comfortable in a tough neighborhood like the tenderloin. But if you do, the staff is friendly and you will be rewarded with a great meal.

I went in midweek so there was no rush. I got fresh cooked Goat Karahi which wasnt spicy for my taste Buds but it was evenly cooked except the bottom. I loved the ambiance and service. The staff was cooperative to me. Its little expensive but worth a money
