The chicken chow mein, on the other hand were below average. The quantity of chicken was less. The noodles were stuck together. The seasoning was lacking, and there were few vegetables then I like. I would skip the chow mein next time and just get the momos.“

There is a 20+ minute wait time even after you order pickup. There aren’t a lot of places to comfortably sit and eat in. It looks like a cloud kitchen.
Highly recommend though. Great place for dosas!“

“I was feeling very nostalgic today, since the passing of my aunt. We used to go to another Indian restaurant all the time when we were younger. I won't name that place but in recent years, it's just not the same. Although I didn't get to try this place with her, I'm trying it in her honor. We always ordered butter chicken with garlic naan and rice. I really liked the flavor of the butter chicken here but it felt a bit heavy on the cardamom. The chicken biryani was perfect. The mango lassi was lukewarm but that could be my fault. I also ordered our favorite Indian sweet, jalebi. It was so crispy and not overly soaked in syrup. I would come back for more and to try their other sweets.“
