| - Wow. First off, on the whim of an Indian food craving, we came across this little place on yelp. Now, we don't live close but we're willing to make the trip on account the reviews were great and the pictures were great. We unfortunately were so hungry when we got home, we neglected to capture the beautiful vivid colors and the food when fresh (as fresh as it could be after a 15 min ride home with takeout). I will add, it was still hot and well packaged so there was no drawback to getting it to-go which is hard to find.
Now for the food. We decided to take the risk and order about $50 in food to see a good variety of tastes and options in the event it turned out good. It did. It turned out great and just earned its place in the food ordering lineup. The chicken tikka masala, basmati rice, seekh kabobs, Channa masala, samosas, garlic naan, Kheer and tandoori roti were all stellar. The food was of fresh, rich, clean quality with warm and proper seasonings that seemed brighter than most Indian food out here. It was refreshing, filling, flavorful, a good amount of spice but not overwhelming, and well prepared.
In closing, this was a hidden gem that I hope you do yourself the favor and try. Nothing will let you down that we ordered and I'd imagine the other items would be just as amazing. This is well worth the drive from far west Peoria in summer heat so don't be afraid to venture out. You will love it.
