Ambiance: nice...loved not being blinded by the overhead lighting.
Service: Very warm and kind!
Food: where do I begin! Found this Gem, by accident because the Thai food we wanted was closed that day, and not wanting fast food, we went the search engine. Was a little skeptical upon arriving, but our stomachs were telling us to "feed me"! Went in sat down and ordered. Food took about 20-30 minutes and then out comes the young lady with our order. First bite....our eyes meet and the humming began! Our palettes started to dance. Best Indian food in a long time, very authentic! Me and my daughter-in-law, both said we have to bring our husbands here ( 45min drive). Well, finally got my husband here and....lets just say....they did not disappoint! Just how I remembered it (which by the way, I was not starving this time). Even my picky 15yrs old loved it.

Hidden gem right in Rock Falls!! We had delicious chicken saag and lamb rogan josh. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meal. We will definitely eat here again! If you are looking for something different please give the Indian Cuisine a try. If you have never tried it before, try a chicken korma, butter chicken, or chicken tikka masala. You won't be disappointed! Not all curries taste the same and they can adjust the heat to your liking.
