I would love to try the food here and give a review but I've tried to order from here twice through Door Dash and both times my order was canceled by the restaurant. This is very disappointing!!

Vegetarian options: There were a couple vegetarian options and they were all really good. Would recommend the vegetarian special so you can try out many of them.

Dietary restrictions: I have a dairy allergy and had no problems.

Visually stunning, but palatably displeasing.

Honestly the excellent organization of the space, use of color in art and the overall cleanliness was five star! Even the dishes themselves were beautifully crafted to the eye.

The deception came in first taste of the appetizer sauce: sickly sweet…comparable to ketchup. The size for four small samosas also did not hold up to their $9 value. My partner and I were less impressed with the main entrees which were drowned in olive oil, simply taking away from true flavor of the food. More bland and oily than anything.

Speaking with the chef after, we did learn this is a typical trait of the cuisine, (use of olive oil) so it may be said that it was simply not to our personal liking. However I would recommend any individuals to consider whether to go, if flavor and price of importance.

Vegetarian options: The menu had specifically labeled vegetarian/vegan dishes with clearly listed ingredients. The owner/server was knowledgeable in how to serve a vegan dish.

The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked through the front door. I haven't had the chance to try the food yet, but the initial experience was fantastic. Thanks a lot, everyone! ?

From the moment you walk in the smell of the spices gets your taste bud watering! The owner is very nice and really knows what he is doing. The food was absolutely amazing! I really wish I would have ordered more food, I could haven’t eaten the whole menu! We will certainly be back many times!! I may have found my new favorite restaurant!!!
