This is a good restaurant for having Vegetarian food. If you are reading this, I'd strongly recommend trying them. I liked the ambience, service and the food quality. They were welcoming and responsive. I couldn't tip them as I was in a rush, doing my bit by writing here.

Excellent food, especially pav bhaji and chhole bhature.
Service was quick and prompt(thanks Hari!!)

We were visiting with parents, and they also loved it equally!!

Will come back again if were back in the area

We came with high expectations after reading the reviews. Butter chicken was great, vindaloo was amazing and spicy. The roti was disappointing, it was pre-cooked roti that was heated and served. Rice was a day old at least. To the owner, invest in better plates, they were disintegrating. These are not the right plates for indian food.
