I got the buttered chicken and rice, it was nice flavorful with a subtle spice. Also the seasoned naan which was good but next time I'll just have the buttered naan instead. The yogurt (ordered separately) is flavorful and mildly sweet which went well to bring out the flavors in the buttered chicken. I'm glad the restaurant wasn't freezing cold! I enjoyed my meal at the window seating, watching the Decatur community hustle and bustle by. Thank you for the awesome service and good food.

A very interesting place to dine. Indian fast food. Because the menu was so vast, my friend an i decided to order tapas style. We got the deconstructed samosa (w/ lamb), SEXY fries (W/ chicken) & tikka masala w/ paneer & kulcha naan to share. To dink we ordered the Mango Lassi and the Chai Tea. You order everything at the counter and then have a seat. The food comes out pretty quickly. Inside, the layout gives like a regular fast food place, just tables and chairs. Nothing special, nothing fancy. To me it seems like a really cool place to grab lunch or a quick dinner. As far as the food goes, everything was a certified hit!! The portions are great, prices are fair, and service is fast. I would love to come back and try another round of their selections.

I had an amazing experience! The mango lassi was perfectly chilled, creamy, and refreshing – one of the best I’ve ever had. The kachori chaat was bursting with flavor – crispy, tangy, and full of delicious spices that hit just the right notes. On top of that, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always greeting with a genuine smile. The service was fast, attentive, and professional. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic taste and top-notch hospitality!

It’s been awhile since i have been here. We use to come fairly frequent when the first open. Then we moved. However whenever i am near i stop in for a to go order. The quality has never changed. Absolutely love it here.

This is a pretty cool spot. I guess the concept is a more modern and eclectic take on Indian cuisine. It's served in a fast casual dining experience. They don't have the exact menu on the board overhead the register, but they'll hand you out, or you can grab one of the many laminated menus at the front counter. They various dishes from your classic Indian fare to different takes on those classic dishes. I ended up getting the naughty Naan, which was an Indian take on a pizza. Getting it with the tandoori chicken we great. I also got the desi donuts, which were these triangle shaped puffy pastries with what seems like cinnamon sugar and syrup with fruity pebbles on top. Overall, the food was excellent and the Mango Lassi was an excellent drink to pair with my meal. The food came out at a reasonable time and the staff quickly brought it to me and happily cleaned up my area as I was preparing to leave. Great place to eat. I'm definitely looking forward to getting to return

They have changed name to Indian Street Food 8First time. The Indian pizza was delicious; However, the ginger lemonade house drink that was premade in a cheap 12oz cup had spilled a good bit just as I was trying to stir up all the stuff on the bottom that had settled. Drank it all before food finally arrived, and there were no refills for this 6.00+ Small Drink! .... Over this example of greed, I will not be returning. Update: My credit card notified me asking if I gave them a 30% tip. Hell know I didn't give them a 30% tip.

Great selection of India inspired dishes. I’m still not sure what makes some dishes “street food” but what I’ve had is delicious. One orders at the counter and they bring the food to you. They even clean the table after. The dishes are tasty, but not blistering hot to accommodate westerners pallets. We had two Ghee Makhni Butter Bowls and a Tikka Masala Bowl with an assortment of Naan and Fountain drinks. Don’t be scared away with the names of dishes, the staff will guide you through to a dish that fits your pallet. Atmosphere and service is very good. Indoor and outdoor seating is available on real dishes, glass cups and metal cutlery.

Catered lunch for our son’s birthday party. The food was delicious, all the guests loved the food. We got paneer as well as chicken Kathi roll boxes and both got complimented. Atish and his team are phenomenal. The communication was prompt and the delivery was smooth. The store opens at 11 but we wanted the food delivered about 30 min earlier and they went out of their way to deliver the food before opening time. This was greatly appreciated. We already order from them on a regular basis but will be using their catering services as well. Highly recommended.

Authentic Indian food. Pani puri, vada pav, and pav bhaji brought back Mumbai memories. Thank you. Will visit again. ​

Beautiful restaurant with amazing food and ambiance! I highly recommend the Vada Pav Indian street food sandwich. It's the ultimate comfort food. I also love their tiki masala and mini samosas! Fast and friendly service too! I'll be back again!

Needing a relatively quick fix of Thali or Veggie Bowls in Spotless Energetic locale ?? You Found It. Too kind helpful authentic genuine staff operate this popular eatery at the Church St. Whole Foods plaza abyss, sitting along w dozens of other restaurants & retailers. Definitely a relaxed pad visited frequently by Decatur-ites, savage college kids, & other regulars. Place never packed or stuffy; it's interior is well maintained & relaxed. Easy goto's are their Multiple Thali dishes with numerous options and sides. Get a Chan Masala (chik pea) , with Chkn Tikka and Mutter Paneer. All insatiably tasty and nutritious. Or Check out their Hella Vegan Bowl :) :) Be sure to ask for their complimentary Homemade Hot Sauce; YUM

Fun street food. Service was great!!! I love the sauce that came with the food. The carton that the to go food was in kept the food warm. Plenty of indoor seating. And a large menu. Flood seems very authentic.

Amazing food. A crowd pleaser for this picky family! Burritos, Bowls, Sandwiches, samosas... we ordered all of the above and everything was fantastic. Plus, this restaurant is organized and ready with their take-out. Super easy!

Edible, but i would consider this gentrified millennial "indian" food. Flavor and quality i expect of a Publix bag meal

Great favor and quick. We arrived and got seated. Scanned and ordered. Only a few minutes then food delivered to table

I wasn't too impressed with Curry Up. I didn't expect it to be super authentic but I did expect it to at least be good. The service was good, and quick. The overall ambiance of the place is very nice. The lady at the register was nice and helpful, and the staff was efficient. I just wasn't a fan. I had the chicken tikka masala and it was basic. Not bland but not too flavorful either. The chickpeas were okay. Not bad but nothing to write home about. The chili naan was good. The mango lassi is very small for it to be like 4 or 5 dollars, and isn't that good in my opinion. I'm not a big fan of naanstop but I think they have better mango lassi, and a better serving of it for the price you pay. Overall just decent, I don't think I will come back.

I 100% stand by Curry Up Now & all of their food options. Though this is a chain restaurant, it always tastes fresh and unbelievably delicious. Ever since I moved to Decatur in October 2022, I have visited and order to-go from Curry Up Now about 6 or 7 times! I've never been disappointed with the quality and taste of their food. Lentils? Amazing. Lamb? Tender and juicy. Rice? Perfectly cooked. I will continue to go again and again as the service, ambiance, and food are excellent.

Janet W.

Yelp
Staff at register was super polite and kind, soft spoken and gentle. I am excited with the butter chicken bowl, chicken tikka masala bowl, chicken 65, Pani outing, and butter naan that I order for family Diwali Sunday night dinner! Son especially wanted Indian food! I have always gotten take out and family has always enjoyed the food from here!

Yelp
My family is quite fond of Indian food, however we have varying levels of preferences of levels of heat and of other Indian spice flavors. This is a place where my wife, three kids, and I love the flavors. They've done an excellent job of balancing the flavors. Discovered this place a couple of months back and we cannot stop ourselves from coming back every time we think about Indian food.

Lisa F.

Yelp
I loved this place. I found this place from a Yelp search while in the area. It is in the ahopping center with Whole Foods and other stores. The The food was very flavorful. Some did have some heat but nothing overwhelming, just what you expect from.good Indian food. The young lady at the front was helpful with suggestions and answering questions. The place was clean and service good, top that with really good food gives you a 5 everytime for me. I had the Vegetarian Thali and my daughter had the non-vegetarian with chicken. Someone on Yelp suggested the away fries and although hesitant at first, they were delicious. It may have been the highlight of my meal.

For a chain restaurant, they truly have exceptional flavors and staff. I have been impressed by each location that I have been to. They offer patient and informative staff, and fresh cooked to order delicious and creative food. Check them out!!

I am a huge fan of Curry Up Now. I usually place my orders to go and they always have my food ready by the time they say, though they do have a cute outdoor patio and nice indoor seating! I do usually take my indoor parents here when they visit and they also thoroughly enjoy it for both good Indian food and good Indian fusion food. I particularly enjoy the butter chicken burrito, and the ravioli! Parking is plentiful at this location and I've never had an issue even when the lot is busy

Dallyn S.

Yelp
First time here. The young man at the counter was just basic as far as customer service goes. I told him it was my first time there, and he was silent. No recommendations. No further small talk. Anyway, I love Indian cuisine and had been craving Samosa Chaat. I decided on the Deconstructed Samosa and added chicken because it was very similar. The flavors were amazing and just what I was missing. I recommend and will definitely be back!

Kelly C.

Yelp
Really enjoyed this place. My wife and I were looking for some place new to try in Decatur. She got the platter and I got the "naan pizza" . The food was fresh and hot and very flavorful. The staff was very friendly and the cost was very reasonable. This place was great! We will be back !

Anh T.

Yelp
Located next to whole foods, this place may be empty with no customers but the food packs a punch. I ordered the butter chicken and it was so yummy. They put a lot of sauce in my bowl. The food is fairly price. The butter chicken was moist and juicy. There was no bones. The sauce was creamy buttery and good. I recommend this place

Crystal H.

Yelp
First time and it was great! The lady working was very helpful. I've never had indian food before so i didn't know what to get. I asked her recommendation and she recommended the ghee makhini butter. Great recommendation! She let me taste it before i ordered to ensure i would like it! I will be back!

Pretty great food . Of course American Indian fusion but the place is still great for a lunch spot , or a last minute dinner . The atmosphere is great too

I stopped by for lunch and I thought it was okay. I would definitely come back to scratch that itch. I wouldn't say it was amazing, but rather good. And reliable. I came by and ordered an American Punjabi thali. I know prices have gone up for everybody but it still stung paying $18.00 for a platter that I know was $14.00 just 2 years ago. Especially given that my meat portion was pretty small. The thali comes with a serving of either butter chicken or paneer, saag paneer, daal, a naan, turmeric fenugreek rice, a baby samosa, and a packet of fryums. The price is for the diversity that you get. I quite liked the daal, rice and naan. The fryums were new for me (I've always only seen them sold as snacks, never served with a meal) and I liked them, they reminded me of veggie straws. For me, the saag was missing some flavor- it was really mild and I'm used to it having a touch more intensity. The butter chicken I actually didn't like very much. I could taste smoked paprika in it. I guess it was added in to try to mimic the flavor of tandoori cooking? I also didn't find anything particularly spicy. The food is definitely prepared for a more American audience in my opinion. It's still good, but it's just not going to be at the same caliber found at a regular Indian restaurant. The tiny samosa was nice too, just very amusing size. I also ordered a mango lassi, which I regretted. I didn't realize it was sitting already prepared in the refrigerated case. For $6, I would not get it again. Like I said, I'd come back. I'd probably order other items. Maybe the chicken tikka is better suited to my tastes, who knows. They do have a wide variety of item choices and it'd be nice to explore more of them. I have my eye on the pani puri. They also do have a self order kiosk which is right when you come in through the door, which I missed. It's right up against the window. I'll be back!

Ordered from the restaurant today via Uber Eats.... And WOW!!!! Being an Indian, I'm not a fan of white washed Desi food, BUT the food here is amazing, authentic and delicious. The Vada Pao is super, the flavor reminiscent of true Mumbai street style goodness!!!! Thank you so much for making this homesick gal so very happy! The Kheema and the Halwa are amazing too.... Definitely a must visit!!!

Take out dinner for 1 I entered and was greeted warmly. The staff at the register was kinda quiet, but friendly. I reviewed the menu which had a lot of good things to choose from. I decided on the Tikka Masala Bowl with a side Naan. Wow, he rang up the bill and it was $17. I thought that was a little expensive for a fast food take out meal. The dining room was pretty big and very clean with a few tables outside. It was pretty empty with only one other table occupied. The food came out very quickly. It only took about 5-7 mins. I was waiting for wifey who had ordered food from another place. I sat in the car, opened the to-go box and tasted the meal while it was still hot. It was good in the car, but it was even better when I got it home. It was like the spices baked in a little more. There was a good amount of food and enough for a second small meal the next day. Overall, this was pretty good Indian fast food. I will go back to try some other items.

Simone T.

Food is pretty good, but the prices are very expensive. Not somewhere most can afford to eat all the time.

Y'all. I had the hella vegan burrito (I'm not vegan) and it was SO GOOD. Is has a giant samosa inside so you sometimes get crunch from the samosa breading..... heaven.

Jamaya P.

Yelp
This is probably some of the best Indian food I've ever had. My mom picked this up and brought it home. We got the Karol Bagh Kitty Party Thali, which is like a sampler. It had Saag Paneer (very flavorful and just the right amount of spicy), tikka masala with paneer (slightly creamy tomato flavor), daal lentils (a fresh, nutty taste) and turmeric rice, a mini samosa, kulcha naan and fryums (which are like little rice crackers packed with flavor). That was probably some of the best seasoned naan I've ever had. We got samosas and extra rice. I don't like the green chutney (slightly minty/ parsley fresh kinda taste) with the samosas but that's my personal preference. The brown chutney is always my favorite. She also got mango lassi, which is thick and has that tart mango taste. Overall, I wanna get food from here again. It's very filling and we split this plate!

Pierre H.

Very Good! So good we didn't get to take a picture! Glad there are locations in California we can visit also!

Charli V.

Yelp
Yum! Ordered death by tikki masala for my partner and I the other night and we were so happy with this meal! The flavors from everything that was included was present! We went with both paneer and chicken but I think we both preferred the chicken. I really liked the pickled onions and diced tOmatoes. It really adds to the entree. They're only offering pick up orders now so the order comes as pictured. This was my second time ordering from curry up at Decatur. The past time, my friend and I ordered and ate at their outdoor dining space. I had the chicken tikka masala bowl and that was also amazing. The portions are huge and can definitely be split by two or saved as leftovers. It holds up well reheated. I'm really hopeful to come back and dine-in because the presentation for this order looks so nice in photos. But until then, I'll def keep getting take out!

Love them, we get them everytime we are on this side of town. Definitely recommend- everything is delicious, consistent, and served with a smile.

Okay, everyone who loves Indian food has "their place" that they consider the BEST Indian food in the city. This place is not mine. -BUT- The food is excellent! More of a lunch "grab-n-go" than a sit down dining place. The price point is nice, and what you'd expect for a lunch place that isn't fast food. And can we take a moment to discuss the burritos? Yes, you read that right. Burritos . At an Indian restaurant. BEST. FUSION. EVER! Like seriously, the first time I was handed a menu I was confused, but hey, I'll try anything once... Why has no one ever thought of this before? All the things you love about Butter Makhani or Sag Paneer wrapped up with the rice to go! I can only finish half of one in a sitting, they're so filling, but so delicious I want to eat the whole thing and then a second! Drizzle on some Cilantro & Tamarind Chutney and it's just heaven! Yeah you can order tradtional family style Indian meels or their awsome rice bowls, but who cares!! IT'S AN INDIAN BURRITO FOLKS! Also as a smaller note-- pun totally intended-- is their Mini samosas! I love samosas but sometimes they're too big and fill you up too quick so you don't get to enjoy the rest of the meal. But just like the GENIUS that is the burritos, these guys also thought to make a plate full of MINI samosas! Same great flavor, but now they're easier to share, and don't fill you up so fast! All in all-- this place is being playful and creative with an ancient cuisine and I am totally here for it!

Elizabeth W.

Impeccable service and remarkable flavor. Each entree is an explosion of edible joy! We got a few items and they were awesome. Especially the Sexy fries! So yummy!!

I visited this spot during Grand opening and was really happy with all the selections. Got takeout tonight and while the food was a 5 the attention to detail was a 2/3. When you are vegetarian and want only veg friendly protein and come home with chicken..... . While the flavors of the Punjabi by nature bowl were good, the addition of chicken hurt my soul. I do have many meat reviews but starting 2021 with a clear conscience I am 95% vegetarian and 5% pescatarian. Rice was perfectly cooked, nice chickpeas and Sanger Paneer. I want a do over on the tiki masala part tho.

Jamarcus T.

Yelp
Amazingly i've never reviewed Curry Up now, although i've dined here, and passed by this place many times. My latest visit was a to go order. There was no dine in at the time due to Covid, but I ordered the following: Meat Sweats Thali ($15) With a name like meat sweat, you better expect some meat, and boy do they deliver. In the meat sweat thali you have two types of chicken (kadhai...which contains cashews, and butter chicken) as well as kashmiri lamb. Rounding out the dish is flour naan and tumeric & fenugreek scented basmati rice. On its own, you can definitely split this with a buddy, but this turned into lunch and dinner for me! So what did I think of all this food?? Right off the bat, my favorite dish was the butter chicken, followed closely by the lamb! The butter chicken was very rich in flavor, and the left over sauce went perfectly with the rice and/or naan. The lamb was soft, not very gamey and had a flavor I was quite pleased with. While there was nothing 'wrong' with the kadhai chicken, I didn't like the nutty texture, but that's a personal preference here that you may absolutely love. The naan was soft and filling, the dish overall hit the spot. Located in the Whole foods shopping area, Curry up now is right next to the exit that lets out onto church street (directly across from the BMW dealership), and while there is parking directly in front of the store, it is limited. No worries though, because there are parking spots all over this lot, so you're good, so long as you don't mind walking if you park further out. Service was fast, although this was to go, and while I know the food is better (and looks better) dining in, it holds up even on a 15 minute drive home. Recommend it? Definitely, especially if you're in the area!

I'm a fan of Curry Up Now. This is the latest in the trend of "fast casual" restaurants (think Chipotle, Cava, Tin Drum, that sort of thing) around Atlanta to come to my attention, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was, given the generally low expectations I usually have towards this type of restaurant. This is the kind of place you can go to for a quick counter-service lunch, in a comfy, hip atmosphere, but unlike Chipotle, you can actually expect to get a perfectly solid meal here. I've tried a number of things here over the several times I've been. The bowls are a good bang for you buck. I enjoyed the butter chicken bowl, which came with rice and dal. The curry itself was a bit heavy on the cumin for my taste, but still quite tasty. A totally respectable butter chicken. The portion size was perfect. The chaat in the "street food" sections of the menu are surprisingly good, from what I've tried. I liked the bhel puri, which was very flavorful and refreshing with the cooling cucumber and chutneys-- though the wetness of the dish made the bites at the bottom pretty soggy. I also quite liked the deconstructed samosa, which had a great variety of flavors and textures. The chicken kathi roll was solid, though it doesn't hold a candle to the one you can get at Chai Pani. A lot of dishes on the menu get pretty creative with the fusion elements, with things like burritos, sandwiches, and tacos (still with an Indian flavor palate), which may or may not appeal to you depending on how traditional you like your food to be. In general, Curry Up Now takes more liberties with the food than a more "authentic" Indian restaurant might, but it's less Americanized than you might expect, and the flavors are still solid, so I'm on board with it. If you're looking for a quick-but-good lunch, this is definitely worth your while.

Friendly, laid back atmosphere. I had the Chinese Indian fusion dish, I forget what it's called, but it was nice and savory.

Love the food. The ravioli, the butter paneer! It's all delicious. Great service. Anything that is recommended when I go in is usually on point. Love the meatless options. Whenever I'm in this neighborhood will always stop by to get my Indian food fix. Keep up the great work, love to support the business. Love, Your friendly Jamaican.

Great food! The Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken are delicious. We love the combo platters.

I've always heard of this place and wanted to give it a try, and it did not disappoint. I wouldn't go as far as saying i felt transported but the Indian music added to the atmosphere. Although they don't have curry their food was well seasoned and hot! Staff was friendly, didn't rush me when ordering which was nice & it was very clean inside. My only wish is that the outside of the samosa wasn't so thick so it's easier to eat.

Ron T.

Yelp
I went here today and was pleasantly surprised by the food quality. The chicken was tender and seasoned well. The naan was soft and flaky with a crisp bottom. Alert: The tandoori pizza is a weekly must-have! It was delicious! Great food. Great service. I'll be back.

Ramses S.

Yelp
So good. I always get the meat sweats. Try the tikka massala paneer as a side. The mango lassi is also worth a try.

Rochelle W.

Yelp
This little spot in Decatur has some great food. Authentic Indian with a twist. This was not my first time here and it will not be my last. My plan is to try everything on the menu as long as it offers a Vegan or Vegetarian option. Today the deconstructed samosas and the sexy fries were to die for. Just the right amount of spice and flavor that will have your tastebuds dancing. Tushar was amazing so head on over to see him and tell him that I sent you.

Clarice L.

Always fast delicious and fresh!!! I got the sexy fries with half lamb and half paneer. They get it right every time! Wonderful service too!!!

Fantastic food! I especially like the thalis as you get a variety of different foods. I think I have tried them all. Also the family that owns this location are very nice. Service is fabulous.

I've eaten here multiple times but my most recent visit had me very upset. I ordered the Death by Tikki Masala thali platter and when I reached home and opened my container I did not receive all of the food that comes with my platter. The platter comes with two meats, lentil, rice, naan, two different pickled veggies and the crispy fishy bread. As you can see in the picture I only received one chicken, lentil, rice and naan (plus extra naan I ordered) I paid in total $19.44 I called them and explained I'm missing some dishes from my meal. One lady apologized then blamed her new chef. Then she told me they discontinued their pickled veggies??? But that's not what their website says.. plus my mother ordered meat sweats thali and received her pickled veggies. So the next day i went up there showed them (picture) I was missing some food from my order. She looked me in my face and told me this is all I get from the thali platter.. that's not true- I've order thali platters from them many times and i never missed so much food from my order. All in all they did not attempt to fix their mistake nor apologize so I went down the street to the Patel Plaza and bought BETTER food with LARGER portions for much less. I was so disappointed in their customer service. Instead of realizing they messed up they tried making me look like I was lying and didn't know their menu. Their food is good don't get me wrong but the service placed a sour taste in my mouth and they aren't the only Indian restaurant in the area (Patel plaza is down the street) Oh and their chips and fries are always stale like they've been sitting out so avoid those. What ever happened to the customer is always right?

Alissa D.

Yelp
Really tasty. Clean. Easy to order in line or at the table with your phone. Big outside patio and comfortable seating inside. I feel like it would be great for a separate-tab large group because of the ordering methods. If you're not sure what to get order a thali - that way you can choose 3 smaller items to try. It's like a sampler, but plenty of food and even has a small dessert. The samosa chaat is delicious. The mango lassi is great. Don't skip the dessert menu! Friendly service. Easy parking.

Thanks to Yelp for introducing me to Curry Up Now through a "Yelp Elite Perk" in November 2019: http://bit.ly/342Gw. If it wasn't for Yelp, I probably wouldn't have known about or come to this restaurant. This particular review is primarily based upon my return-trip experience at as a regular paying customer. This place is a solid four stars to me. It's good. Good enough for me to bring my fiancee here and make the 25-minute-plus drive from our home in Midtown to this location in Decatur. Curry Up Now is situated on the north side of Decatur in that new shopping center with Whole Foods, gusto!, Tin Drum, and Bad Daddy's Burger Bar. Like the aforementioned restaurants, Curry Up Now is a fast-casual chain. It's based in San Francisco. This location in Decatur is the company's first in Georgia. At least two more locations are planned for Atlanta proper at the time of writing this review. This location opened in July 2019. Curry Up Now is kind of like the Indian version of Tin Drum. It's not truly "authentic" (traditional), but Americanized. I would categorize the cuisine as Indian and Indian fusion. The restaurant is bright and colorful and has a casual, fun vibe to it. It looks "hip" and "cool." You can order by interacting with a human or by using the self-order kiosk. In addition to a small dining room, the business has a fenced-in patio with umbrella-covered tables and a garage-style door that retracts up to connect the indoor-outdoor spaces. The menu print is tiny, both on the wall behind the registers (the subtext is virtually impossible to read when standing in line to order) and on the print menus. I'd change that if I were them. I'd also make the design less busy. The restaurant offers a wide range of food, focusing on street food, bowls and burritos (kind of sounds like Chipotle). They also serve thali (Indian platters with multiple components) and Indian desserts. Expect to spend about $10 and up for most items. The most expensive items are the biryani ($13) and thali ($14-15). Here's what I've tried: Indian Street Food * Pani Puri ($8) - hollowed semolina puri, potato garbanzo mash, cumin tamarind water Bowl * Punjabi by Nature ($10) with chicken (paneer also option) - saag paneer and tikka masala; turmeric & fenugreek rice, chana masala (daal lentils also option), pico kachumber, housemade root pickles Sexy Fries - Indian-inspired poutine-sweet potato fries, mozzarella ($10) with lamb (+$1; paneer, vegan, chicken also options) Naughty Naan ($11) with paneer - flatbread of flour kulcha naan (wheat also option), mozzarella, caramelized onions, shaved jalapeno, local seasonal greens Thali * Meat Sweats ($15) - lamb keema, ghee makhani butter chicken, kadhai chicken; tumeric and fenugreek rice, daal lentils, pico kachumber, housemade root pickles with papadum, flour kulcha naan (wheat also option) Dessert * May I Come In Sir ($8) - fennel crepes, daal lentil halwa Drinks * Housemade mango drink ($3) * Mango lassi ($4) Overall, I thought most everything was delicious. My favorite item was the Meat Sweats thali and my least favorite was the "May I Come In Sir" dessert. Portion sizes were fair to generous and everything was presented beautifully (Instagram worthy). I recommend everything, but the dessert and mango lassi (more on that below). My recomendations, in order: 1. Meat Sweats thali 2. Punjabi by Nature bowl 3. Sexy Fries 4. Naughty Naan 5. Pani Puri street food You can't go wrong with any of the above. In the first two items, the lamb keema, ghee makhani butter chicken, kadhai chicken, daal lentils, saag paneer, and chicken tikka masala were all good to great. In general, they were tasty and full of flavor. My favorites were the ghee makhani butter chicken, saag paneer, and chicken tikka masala. Creamy, buttery, and tender. I like the addition of the "salsa" (pico kachumber) and pickles to the bowls and thali to mix things up. One thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the rice. It was harder, more dense, and more moist/soggy than the fluffier and more fragrant basmati rice I'm used to eating at other Indian restaurants. The Sexy Fries were terrific. We got ours with lamb and my mouth waters just thinking about it. Admittedly skeptical at first, these fusion fries were crispy and flavorful. The lamb was ground and seasoned wonderfully. The Naughty Naan was like eating an Indian pizza. I liked that there was lots of paneer. Both the Sexy Fries and Naughty Naan are heavier dishes. The pani puri hit the spot. The "May I Come In Sir" tasted strange because of the fennel. It was like eating crepes that had a hint of mukhwas (Indian mouth freshener). Perhaps an acquired taste. The mango lassi had a bite to it. I suspect the yogurt in the drink had fermented more than I'm accustomed to. Service was excellent during both visits. Shout-out to Corey and his coworker, the lady with the clear-rim glasses. She and Corey were super nice and friendly. They set a positive tone for the experience.
