Delicious food, and great service. Their samosas are so so good. I also had their butter chicken with garlic naan and it was top notch To finish I got their Punjabi Tea and I loved it!

Outstanding Service & Delicious, Nutritious Food! This has been our favorite restaurant for the past 10–15 years — and for a good reason! The service is always warm and welcoming, and the food never disappoints. We ordered the Lunch Special, which includes a comforting Lentil Soup (so flavorful!), Chicken Vindaloo, and Chicken Curry, all served with rice and fresh Naan. We just had water to drink. The base price is $15.99, and Garlic Naan is just $1 extra. Our total came to $37.38 before tip. The food was absolutely delicious and nutritious. I even logged it all in my health app! The only thing I had to skip was the Naan — just too much for me to finish. We’ll definitely be back, as always, for the consistently great service, bold flavors, and health-conscious options.

We went to Malhi's for a business dinner. I had roti and Paneer butter masala. It was too good. My colleague ordered okra fry and chicken srilanka and told me it was good. Near and clean place backed by decent service.

The lunch specials were very good. Lots of options. The food was authentic and tasty. My chicken was a little tough (kashmiri chicken)but very flavorful. The soup was delicious and the Dahl was too. The butter chicken was beautiful dark red. Very flavorful. The vegetarian options were good too.

Best lunch special in town. This place is a hidden gem, they have incredible food. We love coming for the lunch special served every day until 3pm. With your entree you get rice, naan, the vegetable of the day and a cup of soup. Great for both vegetarian and meat eaters.

I had a great lunch there. Decent service and a great price for the lunch special. Though charging extra for garlic naan is bit much.
