Incredible and beautiful flavors! You can taste the hours that go into creating these authentic Indian dishes. We offer the samosas in our tea room and they are our best seller! Best Indian food on the island hands down.

Love the chicken korma & my baby does too! He eats half my plate every time! We are regulars here because the food is always fresh, consistent and yummy!!! The lassi’s are great too – just be careful because they are so good you end up slurping them down and don’t have room for dinner! We also like the banana leaf special as well as the samosa plate!

The food was delicious and the portions were reasonable for the price. It’s a pop up style restaurant with folding tables and chairs in the lobby of an office building. There’s only one waitress and one chef, so if you’re looking for a really quick bite to eat this might not be the place to go.

Samania is a hostess with pure love and joy for the people she serves and the food she prepares. She uses creative concepts to add elements of music, decor, tastes, and incredible ambiance. My family and I have dined a few times and never had any regrets. Her staff is competent and friendly. This business woman is savvy, hardworking, and exceptional at people-connecting skills. I highly recommend her kitchen! Thanks, Sam. You make Hilo bay front a fun place to experience, especially on First Fridays! Aloha & Namaste. Keep up the good work. I know your parents and family are proud of you! <3. I know we are....

Went there bcos of good reviews but disappointing. Lassi was watered down. Ordered chicken tikka but was given some curry and insisted it was tikka upon asking. My dad ordered chicken curry which tasted exactly as chicken tikka. Dont order naan if you think you will get those fluffy bread cos its just some pita bread . Dont go if you are lookong for real Indian food.

The magic of moms. Started small, good and affordable and has been expanding menu and service every year since. Single handedly turnimg samosa into one of Hilo’s favorite foods.

Searched around for the place for almost 20 mins but couldnt find it. Also called about 3 times but no one picked the call. Google showed that the place was open, unfortunately we will be leaving Hilo tomorrow so will not have the chance to dine here
