This place appeases my craving for comfort food. The complexity of the chat, curry and samosas is everything I hoped for and then some. Side note: this is not food I grew-up on but food I love. I travel all over the US for work and I’m kind of a “Husky-Helen”. That being said, if there is good food anywhere I am, I will likely find it! This is one of those places. If you like/enjoy Indian food, make it a point to stop in. I personally love veggie samosas. This is the BEST one I’ve had in the past 10 years, not to mention the amazing chutney that comes with the order of 2. The menu is small but when it’s this good, quality usually comes small quantities.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The staff was extremely friendly and offered free samples. Prices are very reasonable. Since it’s in the back of a print shop, it’s not fancy by any means—but the food was amazing, and I’ll definitely be coming back! I highly recommend the grilled chili cheese sandwich as well as the aloo tikki chole chat. For those complaining about it being empty…the hours on Google are not correct. They don’t open before 12:30pm, sometimes a little later. But they’re usually open until 7:30pm or so.

The Masala Chai Tea is fantastic! Better than Starbucks chai and I recommend to all! Also sampled a Samosa which was delicious. Staff friendly and helpful. Will be back!
