I made chaat out of pani puri as they had all the chutneys and veg raita as well--it was delicious. The hakka noodles were yummy too! I'm a vegetarian, and in the main course vegetarian options, I really enjoyed the daal tadka and paneer bhurji along with rice and naan. I also love their dum aloo (during A La Carte) --it's always great. The flavors are very authentic and everything tastes fresh and well prepared. There are plenty of vegetarian options, which I really appreciate. The overall spread is quite satisfying and nicely balanced. The place has a good vibe, and the service is friendly and attentive. Overall, the food is always great and never disappoints!

I love to try places that they consider themselves authentic. Since it was for lunch, we had the option to eat the buffet or à la carte. We chose a la carte.

Now the meat it was super delicious and the service was outstanding. I would come back for that plate.

We were the only ones in there so the service was quick. I think my favorite has to be the Pappri Chaat . I refer to them as Indian nachos. The different chutneys on top go so well together, especially the tamarind one. I would honestly come back here just for that. The lunch platter is quite large. You really get your money's worths with this. It's also a great way to try a bunch of their different offerings. I wish more places offered something like this so you could try a little bit of everything. I felt like the butter chicken had a hint of maple syrup taste to it. It wasn't bad just not what I was use to. Inside the restaurant certainly leaves a little to be desired. You can tell that they added new seats inside but some of the ceiling tiles need to be replaced and the AC makes a terrible noise every 10 minutes. However, none of that affected my experience so I would still come back here. Just wanted to make a little note.

The ambiance is nice with music playing, but it's quiet enough to enjoy your meal or conversation. The only critique I have is that I felt looked down upon for eating solo. I was ignored for the first five minutes, then given an incredulous look when I ordered so much food. (Hello leftovers for two more meals!) And I was questioned by staff twice if the spice level was okay, which I felt came with a judgmental tone since I requested medium, not the owner-recommended mild. The owner also tried to take back some of my to-go containers while I was still boxing up, which was awkward, then asked me to leave a review... I'd come back for the food, but probably just to-go because the service wasn't with a smile.

It's an unassuming restaurant located inside of an Indian grocery store. As soon as you walk in, you know it's not just another Americanised knock-off. The aromas took us back to our trip to Delhi and Madras many years ago. We were served by the owner who, although we knew what we wanted to order, made suggestions and let us know about the ingredients they'd be using. It took a little while for our dishes to come out, letting us know it was all cooked to order. It was well worth the wait, tho. The dishes were a perfect blend of flavours and textures, rivalling anything our California-based daughter had ever had in SFO. The portions and presentation were spot-on. Afterwards. We browsed the grocery store section and were treated by the owner to a short lesson on the variety of rices and their proper preparation. Turns out he's a chef! We left having discovered a new favourite, local gem!
