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.

Excerpts

For my birthday, I was craving some decent dosas in the Fairfax area, and this restaurant did not disappoint! The server was so kind and attentive. He answered all of our questions and in the kindest way invited us to come back and try their buffet, which we absolutely plan on doing. I wish I caught his name so I could give him a shout out. Going here really made the day a special one!

Really good food. Menu is all vegetarian and the owner is super friendly

Came in for lunch on a weekday – Getting there soon after they opened, but by the time I left, they were quite busy. They offer a buffet which was filled with many appetizing items. But I chose to order from the menu, as I was in the mood for saag. Started with their pakora, the chili and the mixed veggie pakoras and both were pretty decent, but the batter didn’t have the spice level I’m used to from pakora. Their samosa was perfectly seasoned and tasted great. Their naan was on the dense side, not fluffy and airy, which was a little disappointing. I did try their saag and it was really good! So was their channa and puri. Aloo mutter was really tasty and seasoned nicely as well. I tried their rice pudding for dessert and this was a warm rice pudding, definitely not resembling kheer, but it was decent. Overall, nice spot for some nicely seasoned vegetarian food.
