I went here yesterday with a friend since we had a craving for Indian food. The restaurant is located on Centre Street, which is the main street in West Roxbury, so you can find parking on the streets or in the nearby neighborhoods. I saw that this restaurant has a 10% discount if you check in and a $25 for $20 special through Yelp so I got the latter.
The restaurant itself is beautiful, it's one of the most well decorated and fancy looking Indian restaurants that I've been to. They have wonderful curtains and Indian art decorating the walls. The tables with their napkins and silverware arrangement is well done.
However, I found the food to be very average. They have three buffet tables. The first is the Chaat table which has various toppings like onions, tomatoes, pickles, cucumber, in addition to Chicken Momo, which is like a dumpling. The second table has more topping, the desserts, which are carrot cake and traditional Indian rice pudding, as well as some sauces and a lentil soup. The last table has the main courses which include Vegetable Pakora, Vegetable Samosa, Tadka Dai, Basmati Rice, Rayo Ko Saan, Novaratna Korma, Aloo Broccoli, Chicken Tikka, Beef Mushroom, and Chicken Tandoori.
Each table gets garlic Naan, which was good. My favorites were the Naan, Vegetable Pakora, the toppings, and the chicken momo. For dessert, the Rice Pudding dessert was delicious. I'm a huge meat eater and sauce lover and I usually love Chicken Tikka and Chicken Tandoori. However, the sauce of the Chicken TIkka was very bland and only tasted mildly like tomatoes more than the usual creamy delicious flavor that I'm used to. The Chicken Tandoori was just too try and plain to eat.
The service was average, they refilled my drinks and took away the dirty dishes. Nothing special.
Overall, I thought this restaurant was okay. It's pretty inside and well organized. They just need to improve the quality of some of their food. I might give this place a second try in the future, but it won't be anytime soon.
