The goat curry and coconut lentils have also become stars of the menu, with many customers dreaming about their flavors. The sides, particularly the saffron rice and lentils, are highly recommended, and the generous portions often leave customers with leftovers.

Many customers have praised the delicious food, with options for vegan and gluten-free diners, making it accessible for everyone. The flavors are deep, aromatic, and memorable, with dishes like sweet jerked chicken, Kuku curry chicken, fried eggplant, and different types of rice.

Found this place at San Diego December nights 2023 and fell in love. Went back today to check out the actual restaurant and the food is even better. Absolutely love this place and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier / helpful.

Good spot! Highly recommended!
