A nice indian restaurant which is located very close to the bj. We came for the Thali and they were great. Taste wise and portion wise it was really good. It had just enough to fill your stomach.

Usually I make several visits before giving a review. On this first visit, everything was good, the food, the atmosphere, prices are reasonable, dinner was served fast. They do have pretty limited parking space as most spaces were reserved for the motel next door so you might have to wait for a spot as we did. Otherwise, an overall nice experience.

We came for the lunch Thali and they were great. You have veg and non veg thali available which range from $12 -$15. The food was freshly made and tasted good. It was like home made food with less spices. Will come here again while visiting bjs.

Great food and wonderful people. The location was somewhat of a surprise when I found it because I would not expect that type of place where it is located. Besides awkward parking, I have no complaints. Highly recommended.

I was in the mood for Indian food for lunch and found this spot. I called in my order of the aloo mateer and roti. When I arrived I parked in thier lot and walked into this cute restaurant. I was greeted and seen my food which I grabbed and paid about $17. When I got in I dug in and the food was pretty good especially with the roti. There was more than enough. I had a pretty decent experience.
