I ordered from here one time, and have been ordering consistently since! The food is delicious, it's so well packaged, and everything just tastes so yummy! I got the veg thali, and the paneer is creamy, tasty, packs a punch if you want spice. The thali system is so convenient, and I'd been missing it so much here in the States! Love it.

The kadhai curry and the roti we ordered were both very nice. Was very happy to see kathi rolls on the menu. The chicken Kathi roll was a bit salty and had more capsicum than expected, but overall happy it was on the menu.

I got this via delivery service in early September. If you want some delicious Indian comfort food, this is the place. And it packs some punch if you mark it spicy.
I got the thali box with spicy butter chicken. The dal tadka was so bomb! Spicy as hell but so flavorful. And the samosas?? The most seasoned I’ve had thus far. The box was perfect if you want a little of everything. And very filling despite the small portions.
