I placed an online…read moreto-go order (just a heads-up, they only accept online orders for takeout, no call-ins), and my food was ready in about 15 minutes, which was impressively fast. I ordered the chicken kati roll, a tikka bowl, and lemonade. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The kati roll was especially perfect well-seasoned, nicely wrapped, and satisfying without feeling heavy. The tikka bowl was also really good, with great balance of spices and textures. Even though I ordered to go, I couldn't help but notice how stunning the interior is. Honestly, I've rarely seen such a beautifully designed and spacious Indian restaurant. It's a perfect blend of modern style and authentic Indian décor, which gives it a unique and welcoming vibe. The place was spotless, and the staff were very friendly and helpful from start to finish. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, and the overall experience makes it worth a visit. Definitely recommend trying it at least once if you're in the area solid food, great atmosphere, and excellent service.

My partner and I like trying Gobi Manchurian everywhere we visit so, of course, we had to try Silsila's version. Placing our order was easy and the staff was kind.

The price was incredibly fair for the portion. We happily shared one order and came back for more the next day. Overall, highly recommend trying!

The lamb was very tender however and they actually make their extra spicy spicy.

I had walked by this spot a few times but had not run in for a bite until my friend said he loved getting momo here! And of course, we couldn't pass up on getting some chai either. He had dropped by a few times and had chatted with the owners as well so I let him order to his hearts content and just stayed around for the culinary ride. We got the dhal bhat, lentil soup, and veggie momo to share and he grabbed some chicken momo to go. All of the food tasty wholesome, hearty, and made with care. Definitely worth the price and effort. The chai was also boiling hot and perfectly sweet without being too much. Fyi they also have soy and oat chai if you prefer to have something non-dairy! All in all this is a cute spot, may be a biiit less ideal on rainy or really cold days, but hey the chai can help you warm up! Parking in the area is street parking and can be difficult during peak hours, but otherwise not too bad. Prices are fair for the quality so get out there and support a local business!

With how good the food at Masala Lab was, I knew this place was not to be missed. Finally made it there a few days ago. Spoiler alert: they did not disappoint.

We got them as a plate, with the pickled veggies and salad. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, and the dressing on the salad was an unexpected yummy bonus. SO GOOD!
