I LOVE authentic Indian food and thought I'd give this place a try!!
I ordered the 46. Vegetable Tikka Masala with 62. Plain Rice and 70. Garlic Naan.
Despite having the food delivered one city over, the food was hot which was a huge plus!
Naan tasted good and worth trying. But I'm not sure it's made from scratch like another place I go to in Culver City.
The 46. Vegetable Tikka Masala was good but slightly thicker and sweeter than I would have liked. But a little salt helped bring out the flavor! I ordered it Medium spicy which gives it a good kick! So I'm glad I didn't order it any spicier. Just seems like there were certain flavors that were possibly missing (for me). But it accompanied my 62. Plain Rice nicely. The dish just tasted a bit more "Americanized" than I would have liked.
Although this place didn't quite make the 5-star mark (for me), it's still a solid place. Food was still pretty good, and I'd likely order here again.
Everything was also professionally packaged and I feel like they put a lot of love in their cooking!

29. Chicken Korma is delicious as always, one of my favorites. The 71. Cheese Naan was also very good today.

The 29. Chicken Korma is bland and flavorless. The chicken is obviously not marinated in the korma and tastes like it came out of a can. The 70. Garlic Naan was not crispy or crunchy like a naan should be. It's just doughy. This dish was a mess and I won't be eating here again.

54. Daal Makhani (mild) is an INCREDIBLE dish, especially paired with the 63. Saffron Pilau Rice. My dad loved 32. Chicken Vindaloo Curry and 28. Hyderabadi Chicken Tikka Masala. I ordered the Medium Spicy for him and he said they were super hot but delicious.
