So, so good. The chaat is an experience, like an amusement park in my mouth. The textures and flavors are so eclectic. I try a different chaat every time I visit and they have so many available that I've yet to order the same.

The food is simply outstanding, specially Paneer tikka Sandwich, Dahi Balla Chaat and Golgappe. Every dish I tried there has a flavorful journey that reminded me of home-cooked meals. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Indian that truly feels like home.

Vegetarian options: Your can find many veg options. Staff over there is very friendly and always happy to offer recommendations.

Food was okay, nothing to rave about, but good if you're looking for simple Indian dish. The mango Lassi milkshake(not lassi) was overly sweet, so if there were a next time, we'd just try the plain mango Lassi. BUT the Rose Lassi was gross. It tasted like syrup and essential oil. I was expecting something refreshing and light, instead, I couldn't even get through halfway. Definitely will not choose this place next time.
