Excellent food and service, will be returning!

On 7/4/2026 Nate .. had this to say:
It was empty because it was the 4th but the food was legit! Chicken Tikka Masla, Butter Chicken and Samosa Chaat were all delicious! Order take out if you need to boogy, but service was quick and excellent.

On 6/24/2026 Walt Flood had this to say:
Holy moly. To anyone coming here to eat a burger: you done messed up. This was the best Indian food I’ve had in this hemisphere. I grabbed some Saag Paneer take out on the way through for a long drive home and couldn’t stop eating it (and thus can’t really comment on the atmosphere, though the bartender was friendly and helpful grabbing my order). I believe it was “spicy” though probably wouldn’t qualify from an Indian perspective - the flavors were out of this world, with just the right amount of spice, complemented perfectly by the supple naan (with delightful light char) that came with the order. I sure hope I can find my way out this way again to try something else on the menu.

On 6/19/2026 Jessica Reinhardt had this to say:
We ordered takeout from Maks and it was just as good as if we were to have had it there. We got the butter chicken, lamb curry, some naan and aloo samosas. Each dish was so unbelievably flavorful and had the perfect spice factor to it. We were especially fond of the deep red sauce that came with the samosas. I could have drank it! Highly recommend and will absolutely be going back! The manager was so kind as well!
