The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Hands down, some of the best food I've had recently! They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. The menu offers a wide variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. I especially loved the creative twists on classic dishes.The service was top-notch. Waiter was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. The food is excellent, generous portions and great prices. This is delicious, fresh Indian cuisine, spiced just right.Love the environment, must visit and enjoy the Heart Of Indian Food.

We had an amazing experience, the food was great, very tasty. This is the place we were looking for. They are very attentive, I loved the food, they asked me how spicy I wanted to be and adjusted it for us, not like other Indian restaurants that the food is already spicy so no way to eat it(I’m very bad at eating spicy food) the restaurant look pretty inside all white, lounge style. The price is just right

Hands down the best Indian food I’ve ever had!!! I had chicken Samosa to start! What a beginning!! Then the Butter chicken and Garlic Naan. A side of Cheese Naan. I couldn’t ask for anything better! Met the owners and they were amazing! Quality food, quality service, and they even gave us a Mango Kulfi to try! Absolutely wonderful! So refreshing and delicious! Definitely coming back again. You need to come try this place.

First time coming here and I should say it was such a pleasant experience. We got served with a free taste of mango lassi it was delicious it was my first time trying it. 10/10 mango lassi it’s so delicious. The food was amazing. Only thing is there should’ve been more rice it’s not enough for two people. I love a lot of rice so that’s the only downfall. Also a bit more of chicken as well. The quality of it was amazing but more chicken and more rice was needed. Overall delicious!

Used to be Punjab Indian Cafe, but changed to Heart of India. Still my favorite place to eat Indian food! The Xacuti is amazing. Very friendly staff, good portions, and nice, calm atmosphere. Of all the other Indian restaurants around, Heart of India is easily my favorite.

Found this place just driving by, was very clean and staff was very welcoming. We had the butter chicken and the lamb chops w roti on the side. The servings were okay, two lamb chops in the dish but what I really loved was the flavor and quality of the food. The meat was soft, the sauces were delicious. The chicken was the best. I will be coming back and bringing my family.
