It tastes good but be careful if you're not used to this. -- Im curious to know the ingredients but I probably would not eat it if i saw that as I dislike prepared food in grocery store due to ingredients listed.

This place was excellent: we had the Saag Paneer, which had such a rich flavor, and the Shahi paneer, which was also a wondrous dish; the two dishes complemented one another very well. The rice was well prepared (it felt as if I were having one of the rice dishes I prepare myself.) If I ever visit Burlington again, I will definitely be a returning customer.

The menu has some of the popular appetizers, curry and biryanis. We started with the samosa chaat and chicken momos. Chaat was decent, but momos were underwhelming.

Go past the dashes for the review. I'm just giving context here…read more The Burlington I knew was 3ft taller, and had a human gyroscope on Church Street right outside a Japanese restaurant. What I don't remember are good momos. April 8th, 2024. The eleventh hour. We were short on time. The streets are never this crowded. Everyone was excited. Coming from the SF Bay Area, we have very good access to good momos at least in South Bay. What we got this day in Burlington would have been a great challenger to all the Momo shops in the Bay Area that I'm typing this review in right now. (Ignore the dashes in words. I don't want people to find my review using the words with dashes because this was a special day.) ----------------- 3 orders of momos. Chai. The restaurant was absolutely over-whelmed. The front of the restaurant were packed to the br-im with customers wai-ting for their takeout orders. We had to wa-it ha-lf an ho-ur for ours. After all, the steamers could cook only so many momos at once. Everyone was nervous, excited, and on their toes. Yet, service was not compromised. The owner, understanding our frustration, gave us some mango lassi while we waited. We're finally opened up the tin container when we got to our viewing location, which was around, 20 minutes? We loved it. The momos were still warm and juicy. The flavors were relatively basic, rustic, but also felt very healthy, in a sense that it was missing that je ne sais quoi, that roundness in taste, that I assume is a LACK of MSG. What kicked this into 11 was the chutney it came with. More tomato heavy than my average experience. You could taste how clean the tomatoes were. It was FRESH! Now, that was ahead of a special event that may never happen in this Burlington again in our lifetime. I imagine things would be even better on any other day.
