Sort of like a Vietnamese empanada (or the similarly named Indian Samosa). But so crispy and such delicious filling. Simply heavenly. And that's what characterizes this place, simplicity, an elegant, sunny airy (high-ceilinged) space that just shouts freshness, and delicious food. Highly recommended. I can't believe we've lived here for so long without visiting. We won't be making that mistake again! A new favorite.

We had a great experience a couple months back with their ema datshi, so we decided to order from The Fusion. For $50, we ordered a chicken tikka masala and a chicken korma. The portions appeared normal, but only contained 6-7 pieces of overcooked chicken in an overabundance of bland broth. The chicken was just tough enough that I am actually not certain that it was chicken, possibly pork. The basmati rice was perfect. The desserts, milk cake and gulab jamun, were also small but delicious - the highlights for sure. With plenty of quality, established businesses in the area, this was the last time we will order from The Fusion.

We also shared the samosa chaat, naan and raita. We intended to get more food but filled up on these appetizers. Everything was sooo good. The bill before tip was less than $40. Really reasonable ....great food!

It is at the very top of waterman building. In case you are unsure, this is located right on UVM's campus. You simply walk into Waterman building off of South Prospect Street and take the stairs to the fifth floor- don't miss out on the great cardio! The restaurant is located right up top and you simply walk to the host table and ask to be seated. On nice days there are seats right on the balcony so make sure to take advantage! On this particular trip I opted for the $10 salad and soup bar and let me tell you- WORTH IT! The salad is very versatile and fresh while the soup is just scrumptious. It's a bar so you can go back and get seconds, or thirds, or whatever your stomach desires- you wont go hungry with this meal. The rest of the menu changes regularly so it is definitely worth listening to the new specials. When it comes down to it, if you haven't been here- Go! GO NOW! Yumm!

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.
