“ I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!! Super caring and attentive servers, a very cozy environment for a family dinner, and the food--AMAZING. I highly recommend the cauliflower lollipops!! Can't wait to come back. ”
“ Great food and decent service. Parking is rough. Hostess (possibly an owner?) was very organized and efficient. Friendly as well. I'm unfamiliar with Indian food so unable to recall what we had but we had apps and meals and everything was very good. ”
“ Family owned with owners onsite every time I have visited. They frequently check on their customers and it's clear they are passionate about their restaurant. I had the vindaloo (spicy). So delicious!! The naan bread with dipping sauce is a must. Lots of great drink options. Both outside and inside seating. Good people here. Definitely recommend!! ”
“ This Indian restaurant is so GORGEOUS inside! Down to every detail! The owner shipped the chairs and tables over from India. Stunning wood carvings. You can look into your table that is covered with glass and see little wood carved details. The chairs are wood and carved beautifully. They have Indian Goddesses placed around. You truly feel as if you have been transported to India while sitting in the restaurant. The food is SUPERB! I love the variety basket of breads. The chicken tikka masala melts in your mouth! The service was delightful! Everything is STAR QUALITY! Way to go India House! ”
“ FANTASTIC as always... there were 5 of us, seated in their patio outside (sooo nice to eat outside)... we each ordered and shared different dishes... every single one was beyond fabulous!!! The Owners came over to chat with us, as well as to make recommendations (we asked for creative new dishes)... the beer recommendations were spot on and the Muga white wine was on point, perfect pairing and we polished off the bottle quickly! We are looking forward to our next visit... best restaurant in NoHa!!!! ”
“ We enjoyed a tasty dinner on the patio. Everything was super tasty. We also enjoyed a couple of less 'usual' Indian dishes. The cauliflower lollipop dish was awesome! Service was good. The only weird thing was that the waiter insisted on taking our app plates but yet had us keep our silverware for re-use but we had nowhere to put them except directly on the patio table. We also didn't find the food terribly spicy despite asking for it to be about a 7. We were being cautious but either they forgot to make it spicy or they are fairly conservative on the spice heat. But everything was really tasty. ”
“ I've lost track of how many times I've eaten here. The family who runs the place, the food, everything is lovely and wonderful and you'll be wondering when you can come back. We go here whenever we can! ”
“ Third time coming here. First time eating indoors. What a beautiful and quaint place. The staff was all so wonderful, friendly, funny and inviting. Brought my parents for their first time. They LOVED it. Mom had chicken tikka, dad had Lamb tikka. They shared Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. I had vegetable samosas and vegan chatpate Chole. We enjoyed lemon drop martinis and a hibiscus cosmopolitan. Everything was delicious. The owner came over to chat with us. ”
