“We stopped in for a casual family dinner during college dorm move-in, and were happy with our meal. It’s not a fine dining atmosphere — no surprise given the strip mall location — but great for a casual lunch or family dinner or takeout.

Service was notably warm (possibly the owner?) — friendly and helpful as well as prompt and attentive without being intrusive.

Food was good; we ordered the mango curry, butter chicken, vegetable pakoras, and garlic naan. Everything was tasty. The flavor profile of the two curries was too similar, so we should have diversified — that was our mistake in ordering, no fault of the restaurant. The quantity fed three people with moderate appetites and left takeaway leftovers for the dorm fridge.

We’ll probably return at some point when we’re in Tacoma, and our daughter added it to her list of good takeout spots.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Our Favorite Spot on the Trip! We stopped in during a girls' trip and fell in love with the vibe. It's fun, cozy, and full of good energy—the kind of place that makes you want to stay a while. The owners were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel like we were right at home. Every single dish we tried was bursting with flavor—absolutely exquisite. And the drinks? So unique and delicious, you’ll want to try them all. From start to finish, the service was fantastic. This was hands down our favorite place on the trip. If you're in town, do yourself a favor and don’t miss this spot. Sooo good“
