What our guests are saying
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!
