Our lunch experience at this restaurant was a satisfying one. We dined with family. The place is simple with minimal decor and basic seating.
While we placed our order at the counter, the food was served at the table without much waiting.
The lamb shank over rice was very good so also the other dishes. Reasonable portions and quite authentic flavors made the dining special. Priced reasonably, one can enjoy a hearty meal for as little as $20.

We were visiting the area our 20 person party stopped by for dinner. The restaurant has a nice environment and clean. Service was great and accommodating and we didn’t have to wait too long considering the size of our party.

The food was amazing - flavorful, fragrant and delicious. Everyone left the dinner extremely satisfied.

Highly recommended and we will definitely stop by again if we’re in the area.

Food is simple but fresh and well prepared. We had Bolani which is like a thin crisp Samosa, falafel wrap and chicken over rice. Food came quickly, service was great and ingredients were very fresh. Homemade white sauce was excellent. Will definitely go back if we are in the area again
