    Yum!!

    Went with 4 friends and each of us ordered something different. Had a great time sampling each other’s plates. Definitely get the Shahi Paneer and some Naan bread. Both were absolutely delicious. Had enough food to take home, too. Good service.

    Can’t imagine such a delicious food at Niagara USA.

    A wonderful place for Indian food at Niagara Falls USA. We never expected such a wide range of Indian cuisine at Niagara. The variety and taste of almost all dishes was really wonderful and so was the affordability. The dinner buffet was excellent.
