Food was excellent. Plenty of Vegan options, the aloo gobi (potato and cauliflower) was one of the best I’ve had. Medium spice level is actually medium spice level. Plenty of to go orders getting picked up and a decent amount of people in the restaurant so they stay busy. Friendly outgoing staff, they checked in on me a few times during my meal.

Wonderful menu selection, food is as spicy as you ask for it. The staff was helpful and inquisitive, but not overly so. The place hummed with bustling staff and customers, many of whom were known regulars.
July 2025
They upped the prices to $15 shortly after I called to inquire that it was $13. It didn’t do it for me as I love rice pudding but theirs was crunchy and stuff like the chicken legs were cold.
