About
I have been eating here for about 2 years. I dined in the other day and of course, loved it. The Masti Pasta is my favorite dish. It never fails to hit the spot whether with chicken or paneer, it is delicious! I tried the paneer paratha tacos. My partner really enjoyed them. I got a kiwi mojito as well. Very yummy.
This place is cute. Nice decor and cozy ambiance. The service was good but the food was mid. Momo dumplings were ok. Not the best dosa, would not order again and my belly deff was off for 2 days after eating here. The mango lassi was my fav part. Sousa maybe try again but not anytime soon
Loved it!! Being Desi, I know good Indian food. There's an algorithm to the seasoning, the spices, the simmering, not just the presentation. The Sham Savera was delicious. Unlike anything I've eaten from an Indian restaurant before. Hakka noodles and thali were also very good. Definitely want to come back and explore the entire menu in greater detail.
I went to this restaurant for lunch with the family on a rainy weekend afternoon. My actual rating of this place would have been 4/5 but because of the nostalgia and food experience, I am giving it a 4.5/5 The place was not very crowded and here is the summary of my experience there:
1) Ambiance 4/5: Frankly speaking, I am divided here since on one side they have some great decor while some really old couch covers present a wrong image. I would request the owners to look at it and change especially the old couch outside the place
2) Service 5/5: The service was good and the servers were fast and helpful with questions and suggestions. They were also fast with the food.
3) Food 6/5: We had a great time with the food and here is the summary of what we ordered:
a) Thali: I ordered the veg thali which was great with tandoori roti, rice, dal, pickle, sweet, papad, raita, and veg of the day for $10 which tasted like home food. Totally worth the money
b) Papdi Chaat: I had ordered this previously at home and did not like it since it was all moist and gooey but this time at the restaurant it was crispy and tasty. Definitely recommended
c) Chicken Biryani: This is one of the best biryani that my wife has had. Properly suited to American tastebuds. She liked the fact that it was not overly spicy and the chicken was boneless and juicy.
d) Chicken Korma: The spice level was medium and it was creamy and tangy. You generally don't go wrong with it.
4) Value for Money 4/5: Though some of the things like biryani and korma and not very cheap, thali and papadi chaat really makeup for it with the taste and cost. Also, in general, everything was great in taste.
Overall, definitely recommended.
Recommended: i) Thali for home-like taste ii) Chicken biryani for American tastebuds iii) Papadi chaat for Indian nostalgia
PS: Don't forget the different kinds of sauf(fennel seeds mouth freshener) with tamarind candies at the gates. I brought back such nostalgia in me.

Great spot to eat Indian alone (lol) - they have a sampler platter that has 2 dishes (I got butter chicken and aloo matar), soup, salad, naan, sauces and more so you get to try a lot. Service was really good and friendly too.
