    Thali with different mini dishes
    Mel J.

    Very delicious vegetarian Indian food! Every dish we tried had bold flavor and spices. We went on 2 different Sundays around noon and were served immediately. We ordered the food at the cashier register but paid there after we finished the meal. Both time, the friendly owner came out to greet us and explained the menu for us. This is our new favorite Indian restaurant in Folsom that we will surely visit frequently. - Samosa: very crispy. The fillings were nicely spiced and delicious. - Thali: every item tasted delicious! I usually don't like daal but their daal was tasty! (Not too salty & thicker soup). The paneer tika masala was very good. My kid finished it all although it was a bit spicy for him. Their thali is different every week that is perfect to try out different dishes in small portion. - Gobi manchurian: delicious bold flavor! The cauliflower pieces were perfectly cooked & not mushy. My only complaint was that it was a bit too salty. - Paneer tikka masala: delicious creamy gravy with a hint of sweetness & mildly spicy. There were generous amount of paneer pieces. This is my kid's favorite - Bindhi masala: this is the dry version of okra which is my hubby's favorite. It's quite rare to find the dry version at Indian restaurants but this one is SUPER GOOD! The okra pieces were perfectly cooked. They were not slimy nor too dry so that they could hold on to the spices. This spices were very balanced and has bold flavor - Basmati rice: perfectly cooked and supple. The portion was quite generous. - Naan: toasted perfectly and still had chew on it

    Great spot for authentic chaat! Restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating. Service is quick and accommodating. We ordered multiple chaat items! Highly recommend the chole bhature. Bhature is freshly fried and warm; chole has a delicious flavor and is spicy. Vada pav also tastes authentic and has ample chutney. Pani puri / dahi puri is some of the best I've had in the Sacramento area. Highly recommend and will be back when in Folsom!

    Special thali
    Aakrati K.

    Thali was very good. Particularly liked the dal and Mohan thaal. Sev usal was good and probably authentically spiced, but I found it a little spicy for me. We also packed chili paneer and bhindi for the go. They both tasted good but were way too oily and spicy. Will certainly highly recommend the thali. Staff is very friendly.

    Me with the replacement food. Ugh...and NO SPOON.

    I'm really not happy with my experience at this restaurant. Hours: great hours. Food: incredibly delicious, but they messed up my order. Ambiance: feels sterile, boring, and the TV is playing very loud high treble music in mono causing huge headache. Time waiting: at least 20 min til I got the food. The details: I wanted a relaxing meal, and I love Indian food. I also love Mexican food topped with Tapatio, so I am no stranger to heat in a food, but it's more important to me to be able to taste it. So I showed up and ordered channa masala with garbanzo beans, MILD. 20 minutes later, I get my food and I dumped the rice onto the plate and then I dump the supposedly mild Chana masala on top and proceed to eat. Right off the bat it was hot, but not too hot. Spicy. I thought to myself that I could handle it, and that it is probably just the way the mild version of the dishes prepared for them, and the medium and spicy must be incredibly hot by comparison. So I'm eating for about 15 minutes, and I have barely gotten halfway through it, because it was so incredibly hot. I had to keep drinking water. The waiter comes over and asked if I ordered spicy or mild, I said mild. He told me it was spicy and cook made a mistake. So I had to wait another 10 minutes for them to prepare my food and by this time, I'm not hungry anymore, no appetite, the spices feel like they seared my tongue, and I just want to go home, and by this time I realize I already been at the restaurant for Farr longer than I should've been and I'm just really irritated at the amount of time wasted, and the discomfort of the experience , annoying music, incredibly spicy food, a headache, not even being able to taste the food, because it was so hot, and a receipt that clearly stated mild. So I get the replacement food to go, and they offered me a free drink, I declined, because I just wanted to go home Bottom line: I will recommend the place to people, but I'm really pissed off about this experience. I didn't get the experience that I want in my tongue still hurts and I still have a headache and now I have a stomach full of incredibly spicy food and a crap load of water to counter it, and I'm just miserable. The chef's kiss to all this? THEY DIDNT EVEN GIVE ME A SPOON FOR THE TO-GO REPLACEMENT FOOD. It's like being slapped in the face.

    This is the kind of place I have been dreaming about find in Sacramento Area. A only Vegetarian/Vegan Indian food that is also authentic and very well spiced food. The food. Omg the food. Spectacular. The service was very friendly and the food came out fast. The kind Sir that took our order very kindly swapped out some items in the weekend special that weren't vegan for vegan options for me. Don't quote me on that he will do that every time. But if you ask nicely he might accommodate you too. Regardless they have so many fully vegan options that are very clearly marked. They definitely know what vegan is and we're very helpful. After our food came I asked for something hot and boooyyyyyyy did they come through. I'm pretty sure this guy grew these chilis inside a volcano because man were they H O T. So tasty. Super clean restaurant that I can't wait to come back to.

    SOOO GOOD!
    Danielle Y.

    Second time in one week! This is my new favorite spot. I don't remember the name of this lunch special but it was number 1 on the list and recommended by the owner, I am assuming he is the owner. Spicy, savory and absolutely delicious! I can't wait to try the next dish. They are so friendly too!

When we finally asked about our order, we were told it had been accidentally canceled and had to be placed again--something that should have been communicated much earlier. To make matters worse, basic service was lacking. Cutlery wasn't provided initially, and when we requested it, the new staff member didn't respond or acknowledge us. Overall, the new team (with the exception of the front desk staff) seemed untrained and inattentive. When we asked for the manager's contact to raise a complaint, we were simply handed a piece of paper and a pen to write comments--no contact details, no proper escalation process. We were told they had run out of contact cards, and even when we asked directly for a phone number, it wasn't provided. The service here used to be much better with the previous staff. It's disappointing to see such a decline. This is a nice restaurant with a good reputation--management needs to pay attention before poor service starts damaging its name.
