“The dosa is the headline — Mysore Masala Dosa, Hot Garlic if you want fire. Butter chicken deserves respect. One reviewer had an order mix-up and dry biryani, but the owner and the rest of the crowd say the entire menu is nailed. I'd give it a shot.”

“The kebabs are the move. Butter chicken follows close. They listen to feedback and it shows.”

Classic Biryani Kabab & Curry
$$
“The biryani is debated—some call it a religious experience, others say the portions have shrunk and the spice balance is off. The chai is solid. Quality is inconsistent enough that I'd ask what's fresh today before ordering.”

Asian Kabab and Grill

“Halal South Asian done the way it should be — homemade, generous, and warm. Order the goat biryani and the mixed grill. Salaam to the auntie in the back.”

New Taj India
$$
“The Taj's Special Biryani is a monster—lamb, chicken, shrimp, almonds, the works. Service is inconsistent and the place has seen better days, but when the food lands, it lands.”

Royal India
$$
“Certified halal by Zabihah. The chicken tikka masala and samosas hold their own, but quality swings — some reviewers hit gold, others find the execution off. Proceed with caution, but not without hope.”

Jewel of India

“The chicken tikka masala is tender and creamy. The biryani is debated—some love it, some don't. The samosa and garlic naan are non-negotiable.”
