Perfect meal on an icy day. I was lured in by the lunch special displayed on the outside and it even came with chai ! The chicken was nice and juicy and the vegetables very nicely spiced. Left a clean plate and it was a cozy environment on a blisteringly cold day.

The food here was excellent, and the service was truly top-notch—easily among the best I’ve experienced in New York. Everything tasted fresh, straight out of the kitchen. The lady working during today’s shift was incredibly welcoming and extremely helpful in guiding us through our order. Her assistance made the experience even better. Thank you for the amazing food and for such outstanding service.
