The elder of the 2 who had taken care of me made a great wrap suggestion and the food was great. Besides the friendly staff there are chairs outside to sit in which was great on such a nice day.”

And it's a challenge and exhilarating at the same time. Dan and Gayle create a very comfortable living room setting as comfortable as can be.”

The chicken capris is absolutely delicious, and the staff there, especially our server, was incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s wonderful to support our local businesses, and this place truly deserves a shoutout for their amazing food and service. Highly recommend giving them a try if you haven’t yet! 🌟”

“We were passing through and needed a place to stop, 4 year old daughter in tow. This place is CASH ONLY, but there is an ATM in the entryway. The seating is extremely comfortable and the lighting is atmospheric but still bright enough to see your food. The server was friendly and gave feedback on our menu selections. We ordered vegetable pakora, vegetable korma, sesame naan, and one of the specials, chicken kadai. It's always hit or miss with a four year old, but she happily ate everything! Personally, I could have had seconds or even thirds of everything, it was so delicious. The chicken kadai was flavorful and tender, spicy without overwhelming, and had a wonderful rich sauce. The korma was creamy and fresh, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The pakora was crunchy on the outside and perfectly savory in the middle. The sesame naan was exactly the right vehicle to get all the rest directly into our mouths as fast as humanly possible! They were so kind to our daughter, as well. Kids are wiggly and chatty, and our server graciously listened to everything she had to say and even brought her a complimentary mango lassi, which she absolutely devoured. He further delighted her at the end of the meal by bringing us some rice pudding AND a slap bracelet with Disney princesses on it. She was totally enchanted. My only regret is that we live all the way across the state and gas prices are so high I’m going to go broke driving back and forth visiting this place. If you haven’t already stopped in, it’s absolutely worth a visit.”

“I love this restaurant is our favorite for hole family. It’s always a good experience to come here. The food is super delicious and inexpensive. My favorite is the Taza platter.”

“Came here for the first time today. I've been wanting to try for awhile. Amazing place. Love the menu! So many different things to choose from. Tons of veggie options. I had a veggie melt with broccoli, eggplant, onions, sundried tomatoes and cheese. It was amazing! If you haven't been, great eats for breakfast and lunch!”

“Best penne alla vodka I’ve ever had. Gluten free option too! Great service as well. ❤️”

“By far one of our favorite places to grab a pizza. Always fresh and tasty. Have also had the wings and other dishes. All have been amazing. If you have not gone - GO!”

“Julie’s Cup of Joe is always a happy place and even on dark days the owners make you feel welcome! Much appreciated in a stressful world, is a great cup of coffee to help start the day with a smile! ☕️😊”

“Great place to go for a beer, cocktail, band or an appetizer. Their prime rib Wednesday is phenomenal!!!”
