Best hole in the wall restaurant I’ve had in a while. The food is extremely tasty, huge proportions and the only reasonable prices on the island. I highly recommend getting the lamb kebabs. These are enough for a couple to split. Once again big proportions. All their other food is just as tasty. Staff is friendly food is amazing. I highly recommend this place if visiting Waikiki or Honolulu.

Hands down the best Indian food on the island. We went for dinner and everything was delicious. We had the samosas, butter chicken, lamb masala, shrimp korma, and tandoori chicken along with the saffron rice and naan. Samosa and shrimp pakora for pupu. The curry had just the right amount of spice and very flavorful. This was the best lamb masala we have ever had. The service was excellent and Lia made sure our table of 8 was taken cared of. We will be coming back and recommending it to our family and friends.
