“ A quiet place to enjoy a truly delicious lunch. I recommend the dessert made with carrots it's incredible ”
“ The roti (flatbread) here is awesome…typical Punjabi style. The paneer tikka was average. The paneer kurma lacked taste. It was bland and limp. The butter chicken was actually some other type of chicken. But since we were craving for Indian food we continued with our meal enjoying it as much as we could with more interesting conversations. This is a tiny very casual restaurant but it does have a full bar! ”
“ Nearby my hotel there are very few restaurants offering vegetarian food. So I was pleased to discover this place that has extensive vegetarian (as well as non-vegetarian) options. The ones I tried (Aloo Gobhi and Sarso Ka Saag with basmati rice) were tasty and came in generous portions. Service was friendly and prices are reasonable. ”
“ Great place! Big portions, tasty food, there are many choices for vegans and vegetarians and the service was great. I ordered the vegetable soup that was thick and packed with flavours, a salad, basmati rice and rajma masala (sort of stew with red beans and vegetables) and everything was incredible. The prices are totally affordable. Go eat there, you wont be dissappointed. ”
“ Good! Awesome place to taste Indian food price it was excellent I went for the lamb biryani it was tasty and spicy ”
“ Great restaurant to eat at with excellent options. The service was very fast and helpful. The food was very good, and the place was great to sit at and hang out with friends. Great view of the waterfront. ”
“ This restaurant was near our hotel. Famished, we decided to give it a try. Pleasantly surprised. Food was really good, service was helpful, friendly, and prompt, and the ambiance was relaxing. However, the portions were a bit small for the price. ”
