I wanted something spicey and smokey to take the edge off. I ordered Chicken Tikka Massala, Garlic Roti, with a side of Samosas. I wasn't impressed with the doughiness of the Samosa casing but that could have been due to the Styrofoam trapping condensation. However, the chicken was flavorful and indulgent.

Service was good and they were very polite. There was something about this place that just didn't sit right. Not sure what it was. We all ordered dosas with different fillings. A south Indian staple. Crispy thing pancake type but paper thin stuffed with usually potatoes but here they had so many different things to pick from, eggs, cheese, chicken tikka, etc . I had a masala dosa which was traditional spicy potato filling served with chutneys and Dahl. Others on the table had the chicken tikka masala and the chicken keema which is ground chicken . They were all tasty. The Dahl dipping sauce was good. The chutneys also tasty. The dosa itself was very oily and didn't stay crispy like others I've had before. This was kinda disappointing and I didn't end up eating most of it because it was soggy. The filling was also nice and spicy. We all kinda felt that way about the dosas. Also had a plain naan, which was kinda flat not puffy and crispy, which makes me believe they don't have a tandoor to make naan like most places do. Shame really . We also tried the medu vada, served with Dahl to dip into also these are fried dough but spiced . They were ok. Nothing spectacular. Anyway they have a pretty extensive menu and seem to have a good take out business . Probably not a return here for me though.

We ordered pani puri, wada pav, dabeli and mango lassi. All of it SUCKED. The pani puri looked nothing like the photos from Google or Yelp, and lacked flavor as well as skimpy filling. The dabeli had NO pomegranate. I've never encountered a dabeli without pomegranate, neither did it have any flavor. Same story with the wada pav. Severely lacking garlicky goodness. The mango lassi was good, but cost a whopping $4 for a tiny 6oz serving. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what a small cup it came in. The location of this place sucks, with every picnic table splintering and dirty, every table either had its own share of bugs (fire ants, flies, wasps, mosquitos) or was dirty, and add a serving of weed smoke from the nearby smoke shop. Service was also terrible. Their ordering system wasn't working, some of the things on their menu were not coming up on online ordering and the lady taking my order manually struggled with the system with the Square reader not working multiple times. They also don't accept cash so that's not an option either. We cane to this place with such high hopes and left disappointed.

Absolutely amazing experience! We had lamb curry, garlic naan, chicken momos and chicken chowmein. The food was authentic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. From the rich Indian curries to the delicious Nepali dishes, every bite was incredible. The spices were balanced beautifully and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the dining experience even better. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had a great atmosphere. If you are looking for authentic Indian and Nepali cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Incredibly delicious food!!! It felt like I was invited to their home to eat!!! Service was authentic and professional. I will be visiting again very soon. If you haven't tried it yet, you better get out there before their name gets out because you will have to wait to get in. The place has been renovated and the atmosphere has a positive vibe, I am grateful for the experience and I look forward to many more. This is a place for my date night calendar.

The menu offers a variety of options. We started with fried broccoli as appetizers- the sweetness driven by honey was good. Butter chicken was recommended and we also had a chef's lamb.
