Chill casual atmosphere. The parathas and dosa truck are big hits with me and my family.

The vibes and food were absolutely incredible. I did find a few very small pieces of hair, the soda machine is all broken, and the water machine is dirty. I will probably die tomorrow but it was definitely worth it. 24/7, great food, price, and staff is all there.

I have mixed feelings about the restaurant. The samosa was very good. They were crispy and light. While the butter chicken and chicken Tikka masala are good , their portion was small. I can understand why some comments on prices.

Few friends of mine recommended to try food here. I had few friends of mine visiting so went on last Saturday with them. . First of all lady with short hair need to learn how to be patient enough while taking order. When its a group of 8-10 people, sometime it takes time to finalize order. Don't ask to scroll through small screen on payment device without being polite.
We ordered Aaloo paratha, dal makhani, paneer, mango lassi and few more items.
First of all Naan is not typical indian naan what you get here.
Dal Makhani was not punjabi style and it was more of Nepali style Daal.
Aaloo paratha- Trust me i had aaloo parathas in india at many places including Amritsar( Food capital of India). Since owner is punjabi so had high hopes but it was below average and not stuffed well.

So yes, overall i would say disappointed with not so good food. Probably wont recommend to anyone. Not worth a revisit.

This is an excellent place for Punjabi dhaba style food. Their parathas and platter are great. The best part is that they are open 24x7. I would recommend this place if you are looking for late night Indian food .

I don’t recommend this place, don’t go there, some time NO BODY, help you.. customer service is very Bad, specially Manager , short hair girl, today I was there her ATTITUDE is nasty, doesn’t know how talk to customers, let me tell you guys, for example you tell any Older woman Good Morning Mom, she will be Happy, some body tell her Good Morning Wife of my Father, she will be telling you all kind of WORD, what you say it doesn’t matter, BUT how you say is that make a difference. I hope get the my point.

Vegetarian options: Lots of options

Amazing food, slow service
We were happy to find a place that's open 24/7 and serves Indian food, especially parathas. The paneer paratha, samosa, and tikki chaat are all amazing here.

Cons: The service is slow. It takes 45-50 minutes to serve a paratha, even when there are only 2-3 other customers in the restaurant. I understand they make it fresh, but 45 minutes is a long wait. Also, I’ve noticed they seem to be understaffed. For example, they made tikki and left it open, serving it after 40 minutes once it became cold. A suggestion: if they could improve the service, it would make a huge difference.

Also, when we gave them feedback about low filling and little raw paratha during last visit and asked them to make sure of filling in new order, the server became super defensive and rude.

The paratha used to be 5 stars—amazingly soft with a good filling (4-5 months ago). Recently, they have reduced the size, and the taste has degraded slightly.

Overall, it's still a great place to get good parathas and samosas. Just be prepared for a longggg wait!
