Tried the steamed vegetable Momos and they were delicious! The filling was flavorful and accompanied with two different sauces that added a nice kick to the taste! Would definitely go back again!

Absolutely hands down some the best Indian food I have ever had! The Chicken Tikka Masala was incredible, with a delicious tomato flavor shining through. The Chicken Saag and the garlic naan were also fantastic!
