Services
Tandoor Chicken Tikka
Marinated chicken pieces cooked in a traditional tandoor oven. This dish features tender, juicy meat with smoky undertones from the clay oven's high heat. Served with onions and masala sauce, it showcases North Indian culinary techniques while maintaining approachable flavors for modern diners.
Paneer Tikka
Cubed Indian cottage cheese marinated in spices and grilled. The paneer retains its firm texture while absorbing aromatic spices during the grilling process. This vegetarian option provides protein-rich alternative to meat dishes, served with traditional accompaniments that balance its creamy texture.
Naan Bread
Hand-stretched flatbreads baked in the tandoor oven. Available in plain, garlic, and cheese varieties, these breads serve as perfect accompaniments to curries and sauces. The high-heat cooking creates characteristic blistered surfaces while maintaining soft, chewy interiors.
Biryani Rice
Basmati rice cooked with herbs and spices, served with raita. This dish features long-grain rice infused with aromatic spices, creating a fragrant base that complements various proteins. The accompanying yogurt raita provides cooling contrast to the warm spices.
Kathi Roll
Stuffed flatbreads with meat or paneer, served with fries. These handheld wraps combine marinated proteins with traditional spices in a convenient format. The dish modernizes street food traditions while maintaining authentic flavor profiles through carefully balanced seasoning.

After spending two years away, I was happy to return and find this place still there. Friendly crew and great flavors; good veg options too.

Okay first off the food was okay. I had chicken vindaloo which was made with pre cooked chicken. The naan was premade and heated up. The most negative thing is that this is a glorified mall food court designed by millennials who can't count. There are no tables to eat at, drinks are self serve in the middle of the hall and half the places are closed M-W
Stay away unless you're a 22 year old who wants to buy $15 cocktails while standing all night
I ate my dinner standing up at a trash can. I will never return to this idiotic concept

It was alright. I'm being generous with my rating though. The Chicken Tikka Masala was kind of small in portion. More than half of it was rice. The taste was alright. Definitely overpriced though at $12. If it's gonna be that expensive, then increase the portions.

It's really just okay. I always find myself coming back here when I'm in Legacy Food Hall because I crave Indian food, but it's just mediocre. The chicken tikka masala wrap is pretty bland and the chicken is usually dry. It's a good sized portion, but it desperately needs more flavor.

Stumbled across this restaurant on Grubhub and was very pleased. Samosas, chili potatoes, chicken tikka masala, and channa aloo are amazing!

This gem is hidden in the hustle bustle of Legacy West Food Hall. I've had several meals here, most recently chicken curry. This is a generous portion of chicken curry with depths of flavor. I especially enjoyed the vibrant cardamom flavor. Also had a side of perfect fries. Don't pass this place by, the food is made fresh to order and they have the seasoning is just right.
