The decor is beautiful. The meals are very reasonably priced! The okra is delicious. And everyone who works there has been very kind and professional. So glad this is in the neighborhood.

Casual place with counter ordering, indoor and some outdoor seating, really delicious food and friendly and helpful staff. My husband and I both loved what we had. It was all very flavorful! I had the Desi Salad with Chicken Tikka and an iced chai and my husband had the Chicken Tikka roll and the lime Ricky. We shared the masala smashed potatoes. The dipping sauce for it was really yummy so we bought a bottle! 😋 It was sweet with a nice bite! We really recommend this place...

I’m a huge fan of different types of Indian Food. They master simple Indian classics like Paneer and Chicken dishes but put a uniqueness in how it’s presented. The combination is greatly appreciated. The flavors are strong and veggies and spices are always fresh. I highly recommend this place.
