NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED!!!
Worst food!! No flavor at all.
Paneer korma had more gravy with 1-2 pieces of paneer.
kesari bath has bad smell of oil. Looks like the oil was used for frying multiple times.
The quality of food is very bad.

We catered food for our Dashain Night event at Texas State University (350+ people) organized by the Nepalese Student Association (NSA). The order was large (around a $5,000 event order), but everything was handled smoothly—portions were sufficient, and the taste was exactly what we expected. The food was genuinely good and consistent across the whole batch. Would definitely recommend for large events.

This was one of the worst food experiences I have had. We ordered idlis and kesari and every single item was terrible.
The sambar and chutney were absolutely horrible and tasted completely wrong. Not just bad, but inedible. We could not take more than a bite or two. The kesari was also awful and had to be thrown away.
We ended up throwing the entire order into the trash. Complete waste of money and food. There is no excuse for serving food of this quality. I would strongly advise others to stay away until this place seriously improves.
The overall condition and service of this restaurant are extremely disappointing.
The air conditioning rarely functions properly. The restroom lacked basic necessities such as toilet paper; instead, napkins meant for hand use were provided. The hand soap appeared to be diluted with water, the hand dryer was not working, and there were no tissues available. The diaper-changing station was secured with cling wrap, which raises serious safety and hygiene concerns.
Regarding hospitality, no chips or fryums were served when we were seated. However, these were promptly provided to other customers who arrived later, which felt unprofessional and inconsistent.
The food quality was also below expectations. The chutneys served with the dosa were extremely cold, and one did not resemble coconut chutney in appearance. The onion dosa was poorly prepared, with onions unevenly placed, an irregular shape, and a very small portion. The batter did not seem fresh.
The restaurant itself was untidy, with visibly dusty blinds. Given the condition of the dining area, it is concerning to consider the state of the kitchen.
This has reportedly been the situation for the past two years. It is disappointing that these issues remain unresolved. I will not be returning.

When you walk in, no one showed up to greet you. Can’t count how many times I’ve experienced this.

Completely gone downhill in the last year. Went in for the breakfast. The chutneys were super sour and not fresh. The food was also not good. Last time I went an year or so ago the food was good. Now the place is terrible. Avoid.

This was an absolutely terrible food order. The food arrived burnt, dry, and badly overcooked, with several pieces completely charred and impossible to eat. It looked careless and poorly prepared, like quality control doesn’t exist at this place.
The vegetables were soggy, flavorless, and clearly overdone. To make things worse, the biryani was nothing but flavored rice—no proper masala, no aroma, and none of the rich taste biryani is known for. It felt misleading to even call it biryani.
For the price charged, this level of food is unacceptable. Overall, a waste of money and time. I won’t be ordering again and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Ordered Masala Dosa and Uthappam. Both the dishes were great. Good taste. Sambar was great. Chutneys were horrible, cold, no taste, not fresh. Ambience is nice for sure, Hindi songs playing on screen. Floor is sticky when we walk, needs better cleaning, tables have rings from hot drinks or cold, need cleaning. Place is sort of hidden, difficult to find, is behind a Holiday Inn.
