Cute little spot and solid food.

the seasoning and quality of the ingredients are incredible, the wrap is definitely unique for Indian cuisine and adds great flavor. will definitely be coming back here, service and food were great!

Not to piss on a grave, but I'm not surprised that this closed. I walked in awhile back after a haircut and got the awesome aloo, which took around 15 minutes to be made by the 1 guy there. It was nice that everything was prepared freshly, however $10 for a what is ultimately a small vegetarian meal is not exactly a winning formula. Fun theme or no. The wrap was a bit flavorless (didn't realize it was gluten free), and there also wasn't enough tamarind chutney. The cauliflower-potato hash was just alright, while I did like the crispy chickpeas. All in all it was something I probably wouldn't order again. I wish these guys the best in their next venture.

Don’t go with the name , the food is pathetic , smells of oil, too spicy . The okra one is very mushy and wet, no blend of flavors . The bread tastes weird . And way too overpriced !! Worst experience , had to throw all .

Very Very mediocre food. It feels like the person making doesnt know what he's giving his customers

This restaurant is now closed. Another victim of the Mike C. 5 star kiss of death.

Had high expectations after reading most of the reviews, but this missed the mark for me. I ordered the Awesome Aloo wrap and was really looking forward to the combination of cauliflower, potatoes, and crispy chickpeas as stated in its description, but instead I got a burrito sized wrap full of primarily potatoes and green peas. The potatoes weren't even fully cooked through - some were a bit hard. The only good part of this wrap was the chutney that was very nicely spiced. Probably will not be back as there are better indian options that I would prefer.

This was the weirdest dining experience in my entire life. It was like something out of a surreal, bizarre nightmare. I don't like leaving one star reviews because this is someone's livelihood we're talking about, and this review is very long, but I just don't know what to make of my experience here. So we get to the tiny lil storefront where the kitchen is next to the register. We were looking for a quick place to have dinner and came here because we thought it'd be quick - the menu is all wraps and there aren't many seats so it's definitely a to-go situation. How long could a sandwich take to make? like 15 minutes tops? BOY, WERE WE WRONG. We order and pay right off of the iPad, which was kind of like ordering food at an express convenience store section at an airport but it's "modern" and "hip" or whatever. So you order and pay without having to interact with a human, and I did have a passing thought of "what if no one really works here and they just took my money." And then I thought "that would never happen." So cut to thirty minutes later and we realize there has been no movement in the back kitchen area and there aren't any cooking sounds or anything. No one comes out the whole time we are waiting. Totally bizarre. There were a pair of people before us who had been waiting AN HOUR for their food. It's a fast casual place; there is no reason to be waiting that long. I tried calling the number on the website but the call doesn't go through; couldn't even leave a voicemail. We can see the phone from across the counter space and see they have 50 missed calls. There's a little buzzer next to the cashier where you're supposed to ring "if you need help" but pressing it yielded nothing. We all took turns calling out to the back but no one responded. It seemed deserted. And all throughout this time, the loudest 80s music was blasting on repeat. It was so unnerving. Then, another worker shows up and starts calling out a name toward the back area. He needed help getting through to the kitchen, which required moving out this unwieldy counter. Another customer had to help him, and they struggled with it a bit. It was awkward to watch. Finally, this man emerges from the back area very casually as though we all hadn't been waiting. He says nothing to us and only then, at this point it's been nearly 40 minutes, he starts prepping the kitchen area like moving around bowls, putting on gloves, and getting ingredients out at a totally unhurried, disturbingly slow pace. Like we hadn't been waiting or pressing a useless button for the past half hour. The two workers then proceeded to have a passive aggressive conversation about why the other one was late. It dawns on me at this point, having watched the cumbersome counter moving, that there's no back entrance so that dude must have been back there doing who knows what the entire time we were waiting. At this point with all the orders in front of us -- people started showing up for their pick up orders they placed online, there was quite a crowd now watching this whole ordeal -- I knew it'd be at least another half an hour. For a sandwich. We then asked for a refund. Good on them for actually giving me a refund and meeting the lowest possible bar for running a business. I can't recommend the food here because I never received it. Just a totally bizarre place. I'm posting this fully aware that I might get an aggressive response from whoever owns this place for this negative review, but I am curious to know their lame excuse for not serving us food, you know, at a restaurant.

I love Indian food and was a little disappointed by what I got in terms of portion wise. Taste wise was good.

Jane Calderon

Food is flavorful and service was exquisite!

EDIT: The owner Yasir offered to replace my totally tikka frankie after a bad experience here and it was much better the second time around! The owner was extremely sweet and friendly about it, and this time there were no missing ingredients from the frankie. I really appreciate the replacement and very friendly service!
