One of the only places still open when I get off of work and it always hits the spot. Foods great, service is friendly and prompt, never had my order wrong and the prices aren’t bad. It’s become my comfort food.

One of the few restaurants opened at midnight. We ordered potato parantha and paneer parantha.paneer parantha was done very good with chillies and spices and properly done.
