This is my go-to takeaway place. Love some of the more unique combinations like momo in masala sauce and love that when I specify that the spice level should be “hot,” it actually arrives that way. The quality is consistently excellent.

Such a lovely quaint restaurant. The inside was neat and clean with quiet jazz played in the background. The food was fantastic. Everything was well-seasoned with a nice mix of spices that made each dish pop. There were many gluten-free and vegetarian options too. The host also informed us that the restaurant did not use gmo products and artificial colorings so those with such concerns can rest easy :)
We ended up trying the jeera chicken, basil shrimp, chicken & mushroom takari curry, chicken momos with tikka masala, and garlic naan.
The jeera chicken came with crispy puffed rice which was really fun to eat. The garlic naan was very soft and went well with the tikka masala.
For drinks we tried the strawberry lassi and rupee lager. The lassi was delicious, not too sweet, had great fruity flavor mellowed by dairy with a touch of spice. The rupee was a nice smooth beer that was not very hoppy or bitter and paired well with the food as advertised.
So happy to find another local gem. Looking forward to trying their other dishes and lassi flavors.
Dietary restrictions: Had many gluten-free options

I had a hard day. I got there before the dinner rush. The music was inviting and I love that they have various booths and open seating. I appreciated the bottles of water they place on the table. Very welcome after a hard hot day. I ordered a hot chai, dal soup, and the lamb mushroom with chili. Everything tasted good, was nice and hot, and staff were attentive but didn't hover. It really lifted my mood and spirits to go there. I had one piece of lamb that tasted a little off, but everything else was wonderful. I definitely would recommend. Money well spent.

We had a great dinner as a family on a Friday night. The food is very good and there is a nice terrace outside when the weather is good.

I went with a work group. I got lamb chili and was not disappointed. We all shared around the table and each dish (even the ones at spice level 10)was outstanding.
