The restaurant looks small. But goes for the saying Don’t judge a book by its cover. Me and my parents went there for a late lunch almost 4pm. They had both veg and non veg buffet. We ordered separately. Roti, dal tadka, veg Hakka noodles and an chai. Everything taste so delicious. The attendant was very courteous, and polite. I recommend this place.

We came in for an evening tea and were pleased with the quality of Chai. Saffron Cardamom Chai was absolutely amazing. Together with some Bhel Puri and Veg Samosa, couldn’t ask for a better evening snack in downtown Manhattan near the Brooklyn Bridge.

There’s no guest restroom in here though.

Hishi, my server, was so kind and accommodating! The food was a 10 out of 10— full of flavor! I had vegetable samosas, goat curry, and paratha. My favorite Indian Restaurant by far🙌🏾.
