The food was really good but the amount of single use plastic was impressive…

No frills place perfect for authentic North Indian food. We had a blast feasting on dal rice (must try), saag Chana and chapati.

Amazing. Lots of Vegan options. Friendly staff. Friendly environment. The Mysore Masala Dosa was epic, spicy as well, be careful lol. The Taco Dosa was excellent. The Goni Manchurian was soooooooo goooooood. Oh man, I’d eat that everyday. Highly recommend. Would come back again and again.

This basement restaurant was very low key and delicious. If you’re looking for fine dining with china plates this isn’t the place for you. But if you are into a casual spot to to grab great food, this is your spot. We decided to sit and eat. The woman at the check out counter doubled as our waitress. She was friendly and offered great suggestions. The food dishes came out as they were ready. We got the Gobi Manchurian, Masala Dosa, and Uthappam. All very flavorful and yummy. We will definitely be back.

Got the meysore dosa, gobi Manchurian and papdi Chaat. All items were delicious. Def recommend the gobi Manchurian with a side of basmati rice. The mango lassi was one of the best I’ve ever had anywhere. I never thought I’d like a vegetarian place, but this place is pretty dope. The server was also nice and gave good recommendations. Would recommend vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians to try it out for lunch. Trust the ratings!

No frills spot with great food. The dosa is unbelievably tasty and crisp – and all of their decisions are so full of flavor. Would recommend!

This being my first visit, I am already planning a return. The food was exceptional, particularly the spicy Mysore Dosa paired with flavorful chutney and sambhar. The Chole Puri was also a delightful choice. Impeccable service complemented the freshness of the dishes. While the Mango Lassi didn’t quite hit the mark with its sourness rather than sweetness, the overall experience was excellent, solidifying my desire to come back again.

Excellent tasty vegetarian food. The owner of the restaurant was very helpful in suggesting jain food options from his menu list.

Ordered papri chaat and Masala dosa for late lunch at the restaurant. I was so hoping that 4.8 rating meant really really tasty food. Alas I left most of it on the plates. And am now wondering if the other Indian restaurants are even worth trying as this had the highest rating. The dosa batter was good. That’s it. The masala nope. Chutney was from frozen coconut and I could taste it. The papri chaat had earth taste to it. And no flavors. As someone who makes different types of papri chaat and is a street food lover was sorely disappointed. Everything was served in plastic utensils. 🙁 I wish that at least compostable utensils were being used.

We really liked the food here. We went there twice during our trip. Their sambar and chutneys are delicious. Parking is hard to find but it’s worth it!!
