“Got a takeout order from here and it was great! Tried the dragonfruit lemonade, Punjabi by nature bowl, and the paneer burrito. All were very flavorful, and desi spicy is definitely spicy 🌶️. My partner got a normal spiced dish and it seemed good for her (she’s normally a 2 out of 5). It’s great fast casual Indian food, and I like it better than a lot of the sit down Indian places here. Seemed like they have nice seating too, so maybe I’ll try dine in next time.“
