“ We stopped here for takeout leaving Nashville. I had heard good things as this is the closest Indian in our area. I was a little frightened when we couldn't understand each other on the phone. I was pleasantly surprised with a fast on time order that was delicious. We had chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, veggie korma, and garlic naan. The naan was some of the best I have had. We preferred the chicken tikka over the butter chicken here for flavor. All the spice was medium and I would t need to go any further. It had enough kick for our group. The veggie korma actually had cheese cubes and some whole cashews which was different for me but very good. We will pick up from here again. We also had plenty of rice for everything. ”
“ As you can see from the photos, it was a very rainy evening and we wanted something good to eat for dinner as we were headed west from Nashville on I-40. I'd had this Indian restaurant on my radar for a while thanks to Yelp. The food was amazing! It arrived quickly and there was lots of it. Enough was leftover for lunch tomorrow. The restaurant is in an old log building that surely must've been a home-cooking kind of place in the past. Well now it's great Indian home cooking! I noticed they have quite a takeout business, as well. You know you're in the right place when you see that almost everyone in the restaurant and for takeout were Indian. ”
“ We just tried this Indian restaurant for the first time! It is amazing and authentic, you can tell by all the India nationals that came for lunch. If you love Curry spice and great International food this restaurant should definitely be on your list. It is tucked back behind a gas station in a cute log cabin Kingston Springs, Tennessee. The service is great and they also do take out orders. We tried the Samosa Hadt (Chickpea, potatoes with sweet onions and basil in sweet curry sauce) it was delicious! We also had the Curry Chicken and Curry Lamb both ordered spicey. If you don't like hot spicy food then order it normally as it comes. You order it medium or hot or extra hot or non-spicy. We ordered ours spicy and it made our noses run and we had to eat more of the long grain rice to cool it down. So I recommend ordering it normal or non-spicy, but this place needs to be on your bucket list for sure!!! ”
