Flavors that dance and service that sings.

The Great Indian doesn’t just do food; it throws an Indian feast that’ll knock your socks off. Adam Scott Murad stumbled in and found the butter chicken so good, he was convinced the chicken had been blessed by a tandoor god. Meanwhile, Yasar Abdulsalam was stunned by the Malai Chicken Tikka and cigar masala dosa—like, can we get a round of applause for those flavors? The vibe here is pure comfort; it feels like home-cooked meals but with a chic twist.

The atmosphere is as inviting as the dishes are delicious. With attentive service from Joel and Abdu, you know you're in for a good time. From the Lamb shank biryani to the creamy paneer makhani, every dish is a celebration of Indian flavors. Even if you’re just popping in for a drink, the cocktails are solid gold. Seriously, if you haven’t checked this place out yet, you’re doing it wrong.
