We dined in. The mango lassi was legit. We tried the vegetable samosas, the lamb biryani, and the lamb korma, and the herbed naan. All excellent. The staff was very friendly. A new favorite spot for us.

I give 4 stars because service is friendly and food is(but kind of small amount of food): good AND it is hard to find this type of food when all other choices are fast food garbage Literally this place is truly special compared to the norm fried whatever meals you find anywhere & everywhere .

I got the tofu w/ spinach a #4 for spice. Oh my goodness this food was SO GOOD! It came with white rice. I ordered some bread to go with it. Shared with my Son. He raved about how good it was too. You must try this restaurant. The girl at the counter was very friendly & helpful. I will return to this restaurant.
