Excellent Indian cuisine cooked to order - choose your level of hot & spicy. Located inside the EconoLodge in Southern Pines, NC. Best approached from rear entrance off Morganton Rd. Small with nice decor and friendly service.
What a great experience. Tangela was awesome she served us with passion and professionalism. Her custom drink was out of this world. The food matched her service the food is amazing. 10 out of 10 easily. I definitely recommend dinning in or ordering out!

What a restaurant. Had a great dining experience. Good food specially my favorite masala dosa with authentic chutney and sambar. And the punju chholey bhature just great not missing India. Topped by the warm and ever smiling staff. The owner / family specially visited our table and ensured all was okay. Would love to visit and try other dishes. Keep it up!
