 Really cool Indian / Pakistani joint that places all the importance on the food. Most the dishes are a good size and overwhelming with authenticity to hit your elusive Indian food craving. The lamb has little rival in the valley, and can hold its own any where in LA. T he Chicken Masala is their #1 dish, but m ake sure to try any of their curry selections, deliciously drenched for here or to go.

if you're near Northridge and craving Indian/Pakistani food this is a place to check out. Prices are cheap for high quality of food.

My tikka masala was in a Styrofoam bowl, with a lid, wrapped in plastic, this stuff was like handing toxic chemicals (based on how they wrapped it....well done). Opening it up the smell was overwhelming, I almost fell over with joy as I had thought about this for sooo long.

Diving in, slurping up the sauce, wonderfully aromatic, creamy, sooo yellow, soo vibrant, so fresh. The chicken, just coated and smeared, literally swimming in this bowl of masla was to die for. If I could eat it everyday, I would never complain.

The naan was a good size, a whole piece maybe the size of a large manila envelope. Very warm, very soft, and so fresh some of the edges were a bit undercooked (but not doughy, if that makes sense).

All in all. THIS was exactyl what I wanted for my Indian food craving. And that's the best praise I can give.

t's all about the food baby! Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?

Really solid (exciting!) Indian and Pakistani flavor. Absolutely the real and excellent deal, and that's not toned down by any kind of Valley meter. This is legit succulence for anywhere in LA.

Had the Lamb Curry with some plain nan to dip. Perfect. Powerful flavor, and a dash of spicy but not the unnecessary heater you sometimes get. Spot on.

But it's totally about the food there.

he biryani - in particular the lamb, is truly great. Well crafted, wonderful aroma, very large portion. In fact all the items I've ordered come in large portions. Another excellent item is their chicken tika masala and Lamb Karahi.

The majority of the dishes are served with meat on the bone, but you can ask for them off the bone. Additionally, they offer vegetable dishes though not on the menu. You have to ask for them specifically. Their spinach and potato dish is very good, a meal in itself. They also offer a good yellow daal, which is a lentil dish
