Decent priced meal here for the lunch hours of offices and students. Not recommended for dinner reservations for sure because of the limited options and not so great taste.

I had a great first time experience here at Padmini's. I walked in and was served very quickly. The server behind the counter greeted me with a smile and explained the dishes to me. I already had an idea of what I wanted to try (Paneer butter masala and channa masala), he offered half masala rice (a flavorful rice mixture with onions, tomato, cilantro as he explained), and half naan bread. When I asked for the paneer butter masala, he actually had to run to the kitchen because they didn't have any out for service. He came out with a small saute pans worth and through it on the stove for my order - absolutely appreciate that. I didn't grab a drink as I was taking this to go or I would've no doubt ordered their mango lassi to try. My Pick 2 order came out to $8.50. A great deal for the amount of food I was served.
There was a TV by the register to keep their customers/diners entertained. There were maybe 4 tables inside and a few bar seats facing out side of the store. It was lunch time when I walked in and they were quite full with diners. There was a lot of bright colors - greens, oranges, and yellow. It gives the feeling of fun and excitement.
I took a dive into my meal when I got home and was very impressed with my dishes. The rice was absolutely delicious and I probably would've been okay eating that alone! The channa was great and the chickpeas were seasoned and very tender. This was also my first time having paneer and my first time tasting the iconic butter masala sauce and it was lovely. I spooned some of the gravy over my rice and used my naan bread to dip into it as well.
If you've been reluctant to try Indian food, I would definitely say to give this place a shot. The staff are friendly, welcoming and very informative. The food was great. It was full of flavor and I love that they have vegan and vegetarian options also. With decent portions and affordable prices, these guys are worth a try. -

Expanded menu! Mixed vegetables were great; will get the eggplant potato curry next time. The naan seems different though, puffier and sweeter. I could be imagining things (if I'm not, I liked the old style better). But I'm not imagining the change in the mango lassi--added spices, which will not deter me from ordering it each time. Employee at the counter was super nice and gracious, as they all have been.
(I am purposely not mentioning the Bollywood video playing on the TV)
