I wanted to leave 5-stars, but they were badly understaffed and had run out of most of their entrees.
The food is SPICY. Particularly the spinach-cream cheese side (sorry, I'm still new to Indian cuisine). And I mean SPICY. I was able to struggle through it, but barely. I've eaten at about 10 Indian restaurants so far, and this was, by-far, the spiciest. For some this is a good thing. I know most all places tone it down to keep anyone from being too put off. I'm not saying they don't do that here, but certainly to lesser degree. I was sweating while I ate if that tells you anything.
I had the goat curry, and it was excellent. I believe I also had the chana, same thing.
I'll go again. -

I come here usually twice a week if not more. The spice level is more authentic - I have been told by many Indian co-workers. I always get the same thing. Here's the trick:
You first tell them whether you want it for here or to go.
You have the option for chicken rice or vegetable rice. The chicken rice is more spicy.
You then have the option of one meat and one non meat. If you want two meats that costs a little extra.
You can only order a samosa if you purchase a meal. You can't buy a samosa on its own.
In the meats, there are 4 main options. As a general rule, the darker coloured meats are going to be more spicy. So butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are going to be mildly flavoured as compared with the chicken curry and the goat curry. They also have a chicken Chili option. I've tried everything and it's so good!
Same rule applies to the vegetable options vegetable curry and chickpeas are going to be spicier than the dal and paneer
With all meals you get naan.
Top tip: if you come ok Friday's you get treated to delicious onions that are fried. So so good. -

Go here occasionally for a work lunch with my office nearby. The helpings are generous and the staff is nice enough, but the food is about what you'd expect for cafeteria-style service. The flavors don't always align with the versions of the same dishes (ex. Butter chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer) that I've had numerous times at other Indian restaurants. Perhaps this is a more authentic version of the dishes that I've never had elsewhere (though did live in London for a couple years), but it always throws me when I'm in the mood for Indian cuisine and choose to visit them.

Good but not amazing Indian food. Nashville - you don't know how good North Texas has it when it comes to Indian food.
We had the curry plate with chicken masala and goat curry. The goat was supposed to be "very spicy" but was very mild in our opinion. Not even a tick on the "are you kidding me biryani heat" scale. But as a plus for authenticity the goat curry came complete with bones.
The veg rice was good and saffron-flavored. The naan was perfectly grilled. All in all a serviceable stop if you're dying for Indian, though it will make you long for the really good stuff back home. -

Firstly, order the to go box I think you get more food that way. Secondly, if you are sensitive to spice then order Butter chicken with the vegetable rice. Everything does have heat to some extent but the butter chicken is milder. The Dosa is authentic and takes about twenty mins to be ready. Everything else is on the buffet. Two ppl from India told me that this place is authentic south Indian food, so if you don't like it then maybe you prefer Americanized Indian food with less flavor. I personally like it, and for the amount of food the price is decent.
