Great place with delicious Indian food. I just love their Mango lassi. Real mango and most delicate taste. Very friendly people work in this cafe. The service is fast and caring. Very tasty food. The chef tries to count all your preferences and makes the food as spicy as you ask for. I sincerely recommend this place. I like to sit outside, but the inside of the cafe is also nice.

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.

It was delicious! The staff was extremely courteous. We had more than enough food that we took some home to share. Everything was awesome.

The food here is absolutely delicious! I’ve never had naan this good before, it was warm, fluffy, and so tasty. The samosas were packed with flavor and just as delicious. The chicken tikka masala leaned more on the savory side (some places make it sweeter), but it was still excellent. What really stood out to me was the customer service. Everyone was so kind, friendly, and genuinely caring, it made the whole experience even better. My only critique is how hot it was inside, I was sweating so much, but the food was still worth it.
