Just moved to the area during the summer and was looking for good Indian food. The best I've had so far in this area. I only got takeout and did not dine in, but upon arrival, the restaurant looked very clean. Service was prompt. I would recommend. Ordered: samosas, paneer butter masala, vegetable biryani, and chicken 65. All very delicious.
Best Samosas I've ever had. I ordered to go over the phone so I didn't have a lot of interaction with the staff, but the person on the phone was understanding when I took forever to tell him what I want. I wish the hours a different, they close between lunch and diner and since I couldn't order online I had to wait till 5:30 to call in. Also the website says they open at 5pm, so they need to update it. Yelp did have 5:30pm. Food was good, but I wish it was labeled what is what
This is hands down the best Indian restaurant in Delaware. I've tried a few other ones on the list, including those in Middletown, but they don't even come close to Aha! The service is five star as well. No matter what you order, you'd be delighted. I always fast during the day and then eat to my eyeballs at the restaurant. Of course I also order a few dishes "to go" so I can continue reaching gastronomic Nirvana at home too. The only issue is their restroom. It needs major renovation. I've talked to them several times, but it has fallen on deaf ears so far. Hopefully, they fix the sink faucet and install a new toilet and keep it cleaner throughout the day.
We adore this place. Pretty utilitarian room, but their food is to live for. * Chili Paneer * Mughalai Lamb Koorma * Chicken Chettinad * Chicken Majestic * Lamb Tikka Masala * Palak Paneer * Lamb Biryani * triple order of Paratha (serious) ...all amazingly delicious, with generous portions.
We had the veg fried rice, kottu paratha and dosa . We loved everything. Service is good. Ambiance can be better.
This was my second time here. This is a great little detour off 95 if you don't want rest-stop junk. This is a clean, no-frills Indian spot with really tasty dosa! I come here for them, so I haven't tried their curries. The star of the show are their chutneys: the coconut and tomato are both eat-with-a-spoon delicious, but they also have a fresh ginger chutney that is bright and beautiful and something you won't find at most places. Friendly service, and my dosa comes out within 10 minutes (closer to 5) of ordering. Plenty of Indian families dining in, so you know this is the legit spot. Definitely hit this spot up!!!
Best Indian food I've ever eaten. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the menu. I eat there 2 or 3 times a week.
Absolutely in love with this place! Ordered takeout, and probably won't order from anywhere BUT here forever!! Medium spiced, soooooooo flavorful and portions that can last two days! Some of the best Indian I've ever had!
Really enjoyed it. Order-- started with some amazing soup- chicken Mancho and Manchurian cauliflower Then had 4 currys--- lamb Chetinad, typical chicken tikka masala, lamb Saag. All very very good. I also tried the Góngura chicken. The Gongura seasoning was specifically from India-- they can't get it in the US. They said it would be lemony/tart. Being Persian, we put lemon/lime in everything-- but not a flavor I've ever had in Indian. It was OK and I'm glad I had the experience, but I wouldn't order it again. Also if you are not Indian order everything MILD ---which is already pretty spicy---apparently south Indian food is very very spicy!! we ordered a couple of the dishes medium and it took quite a while to eat! It's a large restaurant---I'd love to come back and try the Buffet on a weekend, or the Thali's for lunch. Though I live in DC so not sure I'll be able to get back.
