Very good, how have I missed this until now? My favorite Mattar paneer was very good. Lunch box special will make a nice WFH lunch. Masada Chai was garam and fresh, not bitter, perfect with ek chinni.

I got the Tawa Roti Thali and wow, this might be the best Indian food I’ve had in the last three years. The tawa roti was amazing, and the aloo paratha hit the spot. What I love about this place is that it actually tastes like something you’d get at a dhaba back home. Super home-style, super flavorful. Highly recommend the chole bhature, aloo mutter, papdi chaat, and samosa. So glad I found this place, can’t wait to try more!

I had an excellent experience. The food was delicious, and Uncle G's hospitality was outstanding; other desi restaurants should learn from them. You will definitely want to visit them again. I highly recommend this place for authentic desi food.

Had heard from friends that this was a great place to try Indian food. It was a great dine-in dinner at a nice family run restaurant. They explained the menu, discussed the spice levels, gave recommendations and made sure we were happy with our food. We'll go back for sure!

10/10 incredible! Sat down for dinner. Ordered chicken korma, shahi paneer, onion kulcha and jumbo combo family pack appitizer. Appitizer came out fast and delicious, served with tamarind, mint and tomato chutney. Dishes came out fast and hot. Spice level was perfect!

This place is really good and the staff is very friendly. The fish pakora, butter chicken and naan bread were delicious. The portions are fine, could be more to reflect the price but we got full fast. Coming back for sure because it’s one of the best Indian restaurants out here.

I had the Butter Chicken Fried Sandwich Combo (sandwich and fries) after seeing it on TikTok (Vanveer's review) and it was the best Chicken sandwich I've ever had. It was sweet with a hint of heat, incredibly tender chicken, soft fluffy bun, and very tasty fresh produce. I plan on coming back to try the other fusion options. The restaurant had comfortable booths, optional outdoor seeting, nice decore, great service, and clean facilities. I would highly recommend this place, kinda wish they did a buffet.
