The falafel is delicious and all of these sandwich options are very affordable. The most underrated item is the fries (so crispy and I don't know what they do to make the flavor so nice). The lentil soup is something we always like to have as well. Their platters and other specials are good, but I'm fond of the shawarma sandwiches so much.

The food is intriguing - we tried the fusion dish like a pot pie with lamb and potatoes. I think it had carrots inside as well. I wasn't quite sure what kind of fusion but it was an interesting take. The naan is fresh and delicious. Service was thoughtful when a friend requested to change something that was very unexpected that she did not want and was recommended by our server, so I can only give this a 5/5.

The dining space is cozy and comfortable with plenty of seating. The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. Our server knew without blinking which menu items were vegan, and also was able to list the main ingredients for most dishes. We ordered several appetizers and soups to try - the Karvepaku Manchurian was very tasty, and both the Manchow and Hot and Sour soups were delivered hot and were nicely flavored. My dining companions had the non-vegan Tortilla Papdi Chaat and creamy tomato soup, and enjoyed both. All entrees are served with delicately spiced and perfectly fluffy basmati rice. I ordered the Bagara Baingan, which I had never tried but plan to again - often. The sliced eggplant cooked in peanut, sesame and curry sauce is EPIC. Pricing is reasonable for an Indian restaurant on the East End, especially one that's so delicious. With so many vegan options I'm looking forward to visiting again (but might just keep ordering the Bagara Baingan because DELICIOUS).

The service is great even when they get a bit busy. Now the food... can I say it's incredible?! The chef and owner studied abroad in Europe (I believe Italy?) to learn techniques so everything on the menu is great and perfected for taste! This also explains why there is pasta on the menu. We come for the burgers which have never disappointed. You can customize and I recommend both the chicken or beef which are halal options. So good!

On the back of it was a picture denoting the various Indian states and which foods could be tied to which. I would have been happy ordering all sorts of vegetarian things, but wanting a light meal, I tried a dosa, which was thin and expertly made and came with a delicious assortment of sides, including sambar that I had to finish. My tea (a milk tea, which wasn't entirely clear when I ordered it) came with a bright cinnamon note. A tray of papadums was brought to tide me over, so I had another set of chutneys as well. There was no shortage of dynamism even in my small order, and I have no trouble imagining that the wonders continue the more you food you get.

Off-putting, but not the end of the world. Once I finally got my food it had the nerve to be BLAND! I was shocked. I ordered the vegetable biryani medium and both my partner and I had to double check I didn't order Mild. I genuinely could not believe the spice level was accurate as my "Medium" tasted so plain. My peshwari naan, which I'm used to being folded tightly with a generous amount of cashews, raisins and coconut, had mostly cashews and I'm not even kidding, only 3 golden raisins. It was slightly burnt, barely sweet, and short of my expectations. Lastly, I would be remiss if I did not mention how LITTLE mango chutney we received. After paying $3 for 2 ounces, the little container wasn't even half filled. I understand it's a small side but that level of stinginess could not go overlooked. I've heard so many good things about this place, but was ultimately disappointed in every area as a takeout order. Admittedly I probably should have ordered spicy, given how I prefer things on the hotter side, but that doesn't change that medium spice should still have vibrant, delicious flavor and my food unfortunately had none of that. I will not be returning. :/
