Absolutely delicious meal! We sat outside on a beautiful evening and had a wonderful dinner. Service 10/10! Love the extra rice with our to-go bag. BYOB is awesome too.
This place was so good. Ordered the Hyderabadi with chicken and Goan with fish; absolutely delicious!! Great price and BYOB
A nice place for Indian cuisine. Food and service were great. It’s not a very big place for dining in, but definitely worth visiting. I guess food prices were for location. Do visit once and give it a try!
Great food! Service was also so good! If you are in the area, please visit. We had methi malai matar, mango chicken curry and kale papdi chaat. Each one of the dishes were just delicious.
