They want me to either buy another full serving or get nothing. Too inflexible. So I won't give them the $10, and won't tip them either, and they can make about $20 less on me than they could have each time. The food is pretty good though and it has never given me food poisoning. I've had food poisoning at several other Indian restaurants around the country. I do miss the buffet, and the dine in option.

From the butter chicken, to a chicken & rice dish, to some sort of samosa thing and even eggplant. It was absolutely fantastic!

Unfortunately this place has really gone downhill compared to 3 years ago when I first started…read moregoing. The portions have gotten smaller while the prices have gone up, the lamb is very tough and fatty and no longer tender, and the spice level is not what it used to be. I used to order a spice level 5 and barely be able to eat it, now I order a 7 and almost asked for hot sauce on the side because it tasted like a 1. I love the chicken 65 but it is now less than half of what I used to receive. The server was nice but walked away mid order to answer the phone, it just felt off. The restaurant is clean. In today's economy there's just not enough value for me and I won't be visiting much anymore.

We ordered the indian burger - vada pav (highly recommend & delicious), chicken rice bowl (tasty), chicken bombay roll (indian burrito with chicken - nice flavors and huge) along with their gun powder fries (amazing). While I liked all their dishes their chicken bombay roll had way too much rice but had good flavors. It was tasty just a little too much of rice imo. I reduced a star for 2 reasons - 1. This place isnt cheap 2. They change their food truck location which is okay but their online order via Uber Eats does not work. Atleast when I was trying for 2 days it said the food truck is not available while they actually were in operation. They would not answer their phone call and we had to locate their food truck to place our bulk order for a large group. Hence reduced the star. All in all I would order back from here but hope they figure out why Uber Eats or Postmates or delivery.com were unable to process any online order even when they were around changing locations in Olympia. Dont have the bandwidth to chase them on the streets of Olympia tbh.

Updated 7-21-25: If you're considering this spot- I highly recommend going to Curry House in Lacey!…read moreThe still capture the delicious flavor this spot has but with friendlier staff & a much cleaner atmosphere.

The Chicken Marsala (breast so can be a little dry) was creamy and the Chicken Tandoori was very flavorful. The Garlic Naan Bread was good, a bit crispy for me but still very good. The restaurant is large but the parking is small, I heard some ppl needed to park in the Staples parking lot. They have Indian beer you can take to go (~$11 for large bottle)along with a variety of wines. The facility was very clean and when someone left, staff was quick to wipe the space down. They can host large parties and it was spacious enough for someone to read a book in the corner table. Highly recommend and will be making my way back again to try other dishes.

Definitely a solid place to get your grub on!…read more I opted to order online, which was easy to do. They didn't give me an estimated time so I just slowly got ready and headed over. They hadn't been open long for that day so there was only one table being served and maybe 2 takeout orders. I got there too early, but the employee was lovely to chat with so I really didn't mind. I went with the tandoori jackfruit. I don't recall ever seeing something like it so I just had to try it! Overall it was really, really good on its own and even better with the sauce they included. I do wish it was a touch spicier, but I'm definitely going to order that again. They have a lot of intriguing menu items and the prices are fantastic compared with other restaurants - zero complaints and pretty close to where I'm currently living? Easily my first choice when it comes to a quick lunch!

It did not disappoint! I tried the Norma sandwich which was delicious. The tofu skin patty was unlike any other faux chicken I've had and so good! And because I'm always on the search for great vegan mac and cheese I had that as my side. Absolutely delicious! Very creamy. Portions are large here so I brought some of the mac home and am looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow. My husband tried the dip sandwich with a side of the mashed potatoes and gravy and ate every last bit. He loved it. It's a very cute cafe on the corner with friendly staff. I witnessed a man in need come in and take advantage of the program they have where you can buy a meal for a hungry person to come in in the future and have a free meal. That's a lovely service to the community. So glad I was able to finally patronize this great vegan business! I'll try to come back soon!
