It’s a must visit Indian restaurant with an amazing Tandoor. Their naans, kulchas, tandoori chicken and malai chicken were the best which is product of their own tandoor(clay round grill). We had thier Palak Paneer(spinach with cottage cheese), Dal Tadka(Lentil soup with some spicy tempering), Chicken Curry and Matar Paneer(Peas with cottage cheese). I would rate each of these dishes a 4/5. But their tandoor products are 5/5. We finished both the bread baskets right away, a must try.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Numerous dishes feature local produce. We shared samosas and the tandoor mixed kebab. Everything was tender and well seasoned.

A great spot with an awesome lunch buffet. The buffet included Lamb Rogan Josh, Tikka Masala, Chana Saag, and several other items. The naan was very fresh and cooked perfectly. The staff was very responsive and always available

Literally one of the best restaurants my family and I chose. My mom being a chef at Pebble Beach agrees! Super delicious and affordable Indian cooking and very friendly staff. My family and I dine out a lot and tried all the restaurants this is definitely one our top three on the list.
