Famarama Saechao: Love the lamb kabab with brown rice. Everything is so flavorful. Also their cilantro chutney is delicious. Try it with your choice of meat. I highly recommend this place.
djs: The best!!! Sabzi Challow (with lamb) - lamb leg with spinach, Kubideh - cumin cotlets, Kadu Bolani - squash onion stuffed pancake. And doogh to drink - yogurt drink with pickles!
joanne: the lamb and chicken are the clear winners, tender and flavorful; wasn't impressed with the sirloin but i've only had it once. if you eat in, make sure you get the spicy tart cilantro sauce.

Adrian Phillips: Big fan of the samosas if you're looking for a quick snack while wandering around this part of Oakland. The Chicken Tikka as a bowl with brown rice is a solid, well priced, tasty to-go meal.
Varun Shah: The staff is pretty rude. No hello or welcome, we got greeted with we close in 10 we will only take to go orders. I ordered paneer and got a mix of paneer and chicken. The food was ok.
Ryan Block: Glad to have some Indian flavor and innovation, and at a very affordable price. All about Naughty Naan, Fried Ravioli, and Sexy Fries.
