I fell in love with this place over the last couple months. Each dish I've had has been nothing short of AMAZING. They have truly gained my loyalty in my selection for Indian cuisine. The staff was very helpful to assist in picking a dish and they never disappointed. If I could give more stars I would but since I can't, I'll have to come back again to leave a new review and more stars 😁 Chef Balkrishan AND RAJEEV were OUTSTANDING

As soon as you walk in, your nose is met with a warm hug of aromatics and spices from the food. The place had a good amount of foot traffic so you know it's good. I look forward to coming back and trying the rest of the menu!

Great place with delicious Indian food.
I just love their Mango lassi. Real mango and most delicate taste.
Very friendly people work in this cafe. The service is fast and caring. Very tasty food.
The chef tries to count all your preferences and makes the food as spicy as you ask for. I sincerely recommend this place. I like to sit outside, but the inside of the cafe is also nice.
