Food was fine. Not the best I’ve had but decent. The lunch box felt like an good value for the money, but the service was pretty atrocious: they pulled a bait-and-switch advertising $1 roti which I asked for, they said they could do naan but charged me $4+ for that without saying it was different. Since this was takeaway and I paid upfront, I immediately noticed the shortchange and I asked and they explained I then asked for them to cancel the naan then. They said they couldn’t,...

Came at end of day and they still served us. So nice, but the food was terrific too. The naan was perfection. The samosa was large, crispy and filled with fresh veggies. The tamarind sauce was exceptional. My hubby got gluten free and loved it all. Will go again.
July 2025
I got the veg lunch box, which is pre-made curries with rice/naan.
I like how they brought this concept (sewa) to offer this affordable meal.
The taste was apt for its price.
I think the general population would find it hard to trust the food/quality when you're served this way, but coming from a similar background as the restaurant staff, I believe them.
Note: lunch boxes are only takeout!
