I don't live in the area but now I'm thinking I'll have to make more trips to Clarksville just to eat here.
My friends and I started off with the potato and pea samosas and the hot chili cilantro chicken. The flavor with the hot chili cilantro chicken was ridiculously good. It came with some kind of slightly sweet sauce on it and came with slivered onions and green peppers. Everything was super fresh and it was so good. Nothing was left on the plate.
The samosas were also great, hot and crispy on the outside. There was curry inside for seasoning, which was expected, but it was a lighter that I'm used to and found that I preferred it.
If I remember correctly both were served with a sweet tamarind sauce and a spicy mint sauce. Either way both sauces appeared on our table and I would put them on anything. Literally anything. I asked for extra sauces to go, they were that good. The tamarind sauce had a mellow sweetness and a slightly smoky flavor. And the mint was just as delicious but was more of an interesting experience. To have the crisp, freshness of mint accompanied by a slight burn from spice was somewhat confusing but addicting. Again, I would put that sh*t on anything and happily eat it.
They had a multitude of different flavors of naan to choose from so we were not shy. We ordered the butter, garlic, and the garlic and cheese. The butter naan was a bit crispier than the other two, but still phenomenal. The garlic naan had visible and plentiful amounts of minced garlic. The potency and even it's appearance indicated that it was freshly minced garlic, and it was so good. I didn't get around to trying the garlic and cheese naan simply because I got full on everything else, but there wasn't any of it left to take home and my friend could not stop raving about it.
I ordered the chicken Tikka masala and I was able to choose my level of spice. I chose medium, which I would say sits right about a "5". You could choose mild, medium, hot, and "dare you." I do not test the intensity of Indian food because I know what it's capable of, and the medium was perfect for me. It had noticeable but mild heat at the beginning of the meal, and built the more you ate it. I ate quite a bit and found my nose running near the end of my meal, but the burn itself remained steady. I didn't find it that it became too spicy to continue to eat. (I do however like spicy food.)
My friend ordered the Malai Kofta, which I hadn't noticed on an Indian menu before, and he loved it. I only tried a bite or two but reminded me of a spiced Alfredo, of sorts. There was barely enough to take home.
Portions are what I would say is enough for one person with just enough to take home and have a decent meal of leftovers.
The food was phenomenal, the waitress was exceptionally kind and super attentive. She was the only server for probably the first thirty to forty minutes of our dining experience and she had at least five to six tables, and she was still attentive the entire time. We never had to ask for refills, she simply brought them when she noticed they were needed. That may not seem like a big deal but I drink a lot of water and she had come by and refilled my glass three times before the food arrived without having to be asked.
Overall a wonderful experience and I am going out of my way to find excuses to go back to Clarksville just to eat there.
