The food tasted great, but the prices are HIGH for the portions. I ordered chicken tikka masala with rice. It came out to $19 before door dash fees. When I received it, it only had 4 bite-sized pieces of chicken in it.

There's a new gem in town. Here's a glimpse into our culinary journey into their offerings: Chicken tulsi- chicken was tender and marinated to perfection. Just a slight miss on the grilled, sauce was rich and herbaceous. Nilgiri chicken- this was an adventurous foray into the lush greenery of flavor and it had Dahl. Chicken Curry- this was a warm hug in a bowl- rich aromatic and deeply flavored. Aloo Gobi: textural masterpiece with potatoes, tomatoes, and cauliflower florets that were tender yet retained a bite. Nice contrast of flavors. Yellow Dahl: comforting, soulful and soothing. Nice balance. Chicken Samosa: simply a crispy golden delight. From start to finish, the experience was a culinary voyage that brought the rich tapestry of Indian flavors right to my doorstep.

I was excited to try this place having just opened! I ordered the Tulsi Chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Samosa, Aloo Paratha, and Mango Lassi.
The Tikka masala had a very flavorful masala sauce with a slow building heat. The white meat chicken had good flavor, but the texture was not up my alley... it reminded me of the thick pre-sliced sous vide chicken breasts at the deli section of the grocery store. I was expecting more of a grilled flavor which was not present. Overall though I would have said it was very good had I known I needed to order rice separately, which I didn't realize until I got home. The entree costs are excessive in my opinion for the quantity you get and the need to add rice for an additional cost. Even if the rice is included, $19 is too much for this amount and quality of food.
The samosas were really good! They definitely have some heat which builds faster than it did for the Tikka masala. I wish there was more green sauce included, though. There was barely enough for one of the two samosas. Good overall value and same for the aloo paratha.
The Mango lassi was excellent as well (and larger than expected, yay!), but less creamy than Aga's, for reference and more fruit forward if that's possible. Don't get me wrong, this one's fantastic. I will never turn this down if offered .
Overall I'm pretty happy. I feel that if customers cannot provide special instructions then there needs to be additional customization options added to select spice levels etc because not everyone will enjoy the level of heat some of the food can bring. The only thing that will prevent me from reordering is the pricing that's on par with higher end and proven restaurants (who also include rice with the entree for that price). I encourage you to reconsider your entree pricing structure as I would love to be a repeat customer.
