“ Good food, service and is definitely underrated. It's now under the management of Chopathi as I enquired. ”
“ The food was amazing, the ambience was crap. It is a bare empty restaurant with no art, no music, weird layout. It looked like they were in the middle of a renovation and quickly put up some tables so they could feed people. I wasn't even sure how to ask for a table when we walked in, there was no visible staff. Picked this place because it had good ratings on Yelp, so not sure what they normally look like and if this is a representation of what they're really like. You could tell this place was authentic because there were three other tables and they were all Indian. We got: Masala Mirchi Bhajji - battered and fried chili pepper stuffed with onion. Tarka Dal - yellow lentils Chicken Tikka masala - chicken in a thick creamy sauce The flavors are great, we didn't specify our heat level and we got medium and it was really spicy. I love spicy and can handle spicy, but it was almost too much for me. One food downside, they didn't provide much rice with the dish. The menu is exactly what you see on the website, small print, no pictures. So you have to know what you're looking for or ask a lot of questions. Though I found out if you use Yelp to order takeout, each menu item does include a picture. Very reasonably priced, rare these days. ”
“ All the food is really good. Even the dipping sauce for the cracker-wheel appetizer thingies! I liked that sauce so much that I ate it by itself with a spoon. The bhindi masala and chicken tikka were both hearty and flavorful, and we appreciated the generous portions. They may be South Indians but they make really good North Indian food also. The dosas were of course exceptional! We got the onion rava masala dosa and it was rich and crispy. The aloo had a pleasing balance of spices. Our few complaints were that the service was a little awkward--though friendly!--the location is kind of hard to get to, and the interior could be made more homey. Despite those fixable issues, I think more people should eat here, since the food is really excellent. ”
“ I had my first meal here to night and it was delicious, I'm from the Uk where Indian food is very popular. This is a very much restaurant to visit and eat I highly recommend it ”
“ We came here after ages and well worth it! Bismark is the new chef in charge and my husband and I owe our delicious comforting meal to him and the staff. I stuck to the traditional nomz- onion chili dosa. My husband was in the mood to be adventurous and enjoyed his special treat! I hope Chef Bismark puts this decadent, flavorful, tender lamb leg with shrimp on the menu soon. Looking forward to coming back here for more yummy food and other specials the chef has in store! ”
“ Excellent staff and always a fun experience! Sai was the perfect waiter tonight... attentive, professional and enjoyable. Food is consistently good... enough so to crave it. Updated 08/29/2019- continues to be the go-to spot for EXCELLENT service (Sai rocks!), wonderful owners and amazing food! Can't go wrong. ”
“ l just received my order via uber eats and they served the amazing food. I was sick but after having their mini idlis with scrumptious sambar and red chutney I feel better. Extremely perfect delivering process of masala dosa in a pizza box. Thank you, the food is freshly made with the authenticity. ”
