I’ve eaten here many times and it is an incredible place for affordable, delicious, legit Indian food. If you can stay, get a platter and eat it out in the plaza. Key dishes are the ones you’d expect: chicken tikka, paneers, samosas, etc. Chole masalewala (chickpeas!) is a favorite.

Accidental, great find. We chose purely on the price point, but the food quality was a pleasant surprise. We asked for wheat chapati and I was delighted, hot, soft, fluffy and big. We took nonveg Saag, authentic, mouthwatering. High quality, sufficient quantity, fast!!! Will go again next trip

Great location to walk around after such a hearty meal. I wouldn’t go over a spice level 3, but my boyfriend enjoyed a level 5 and did fine. Really lovely mango lassi and only $3! Bring cash!

This dhaba has style. Authentic menu, homey atmosphere, delicious food. Feels like I landed in India with Bollywood on screen and large vats being stirred in back. Great curries and breads, the salty lassi is fantastic, real homemade chai that you get to add your own sugar to.
