Some amazing options that are both gluten-free and vegan. Malai kofta and Nirvana tofu curry were delightful. Anmol was a very friendly and welcoming staff member! Highly recommend.

I moved to Virginia so when I come back to the area, I make sure I take a day to visit my daughter 3 blocks away from here. I always order palak (spinach) Cha-ana (chick peas), the best in the tri county area! Going back for more to take to VA with me. No indie food where I'm at..boo..

Vegetarian options: Too many to name..just delicious!
