This is my second lunchtime visit. Even better than the first. Had the East Indian food. Selection was exceptional. Taste was amazing and spice and heat level were prefect. The atmosphere is friendly and visually interesting. The server was super knowledgeable and efficient. The place is very clean-including the bathrooms. This is the perfect food stop when driving into Regina or driving east. Also worth the trip just to get away from the usual fare in YQR. Thoroughly recommend.

This place is an absolute must! I highly recommend the Indian food. They gave complimentary lentil soup on the day I was there and it was delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. It’s obvious the owner puts a lot of care into his staff and establishment.

Prarie foodies , I request not to miss this hidden place in our proud Saskatchewan. Small town with loving details. This restaurant is perfect for hangout since you get all activity elements that you can enjoy with your friends and family ,like a pool table , table tennis, VLT mobile casino, etc. Visit them for small gatherings and parties with small or a big groups. They have the arrangements upstairs with big specious area. Currently, they do not charge for renting out the space. All you need to order is the food. You have the option to request a buffet or order through Alacarte for small parties.Diffent selections on different cusine,your all group can get their taste.Check out the menu attached . I want to especially, thank the owner to invest and encourage the local employment engaged and the waitress- Carol - a professional to her job, an asset to the employer. She knows her job that includes asking children , senior, ladies, than men about their order - an hierarchy taking an order.Greetings within 30 seconds, you step in, providing menu.She also encourages up sale to try out their signature dishes and more details if you have questions if needed . Timely clearing the table with old dishes offering the other course preferences like beverage ,appetizer, main course and dessert. A perfect example for ideal professionals is what she does. I met the owner and shared my comment on brew received with sugar where customer can be asked to opt out , he didn't hesitated admitting that they may missed where he can just refused saying ," oh! That's how we serve. " You need a big courage to admit and improve , so kudos to the owner too. All staff were polite and eager to serve , loved the spirit. One request to have a fly trap to catch flies. 5 stars for the following -Greetings within permissible time -Clean and odor free ambiance -choice of music and its sound level -distance between two tables -choice of glassware, cutlery, and other serving etiquette -food portion versus price -service standards -servers dress and grooming -clean washroom Overall, the visit was worth it, and I would like to visit it frequently since not much away from Regina. Request to you , if you decide to dine upstairs, place your order together for all course ,will make easy for servers to reach upstairs. The owner have on their project list to make a dummy steward to bring your food upstairs with sort of lift , which will be fun to the experience.

Checked this spot out after noticing it on a trip to see Ian's Christmas Lights this past winter. It's literally right on the side of the TransCanada highway which makes it great for a quick stop. Service was great, food really good and decent portions. Was different than what we were used to in terms of flavors and presentation for Indian food but I appreciate their spin on it. Would definitely recommend and will go again.

A refreshing 15 minute drive East of Regina hwy #1 . The restaurant and service were great . Tried my first dish of Indian food glad of the 3 temperature options . Great selection and the waiting staff were very patient explaining the dishes and providing recommendations.. was pleasantly please with the food experience.. not into Indian food they do other food options . The atmosphere was great, roomy and two floors . Upstairs , 2nd floor plenty of room for dining and games- entertainment both for adults and children. Properly great upstairs for sport teams to have their private events away from the dining customers . Main floor again plenty of room and have bar service .
