Overall very good experience. Chai was very good and fresh. Misal very authentic taste. Vada Pav was ok but not bad. The only disappointment was pav. The pav served were not indian pav that you get with misal and vada. That kind of ruins the taste especially when misal itself was very good.

Really loved food in mother india. We got solkadhi, malvani masala, kohlapuri mutton masala and friend promfret with rice bhakri. The bhakri wasn't soft and perfect but it served me memories back from Mumbai! The spice level didn't disappoint as well.

Excellent Indian food. I ordered the Coconut Curry Chicken to go and requested it 'Spicy'. So often in my travels I'll visit an Indian restaurant and order spicy and be disappointed. Not this time, this was spicy, just like I enjoy it. So spicy it makes my scalp sweat. The Garlic naan bread was also very good.
