I ordered the chana masala, veggie samosa, and a Taj Mahal beer. These are my usual go to items, and all of them delivered. I ordered medium spice and it was perfect. Just enough heat that I was sweating a little, but still going back for more. Very good balance and flavor. The menu has plenty of options and covers both Indian and Nepalese dishes, which makes it easy to come back and try different things. Food quality felt strong across the board. Service was quick and friendly. Inside, there is plenty of seating and a comfortable, casual setup. They had pleasant, modern Indian music playing, which added to the atmosphere. It is right on Broadway in Teele Square, so easy to get to. The only minor downside was some loud chatter between staff, which could be a little distracting at times. Overall, this is a reliable neighborhood spot with very good food and solid service. Based on this visit, I am comfortable rounding up to a five star review. I will be back.

In case you don't know, Nepali-Indian food tastes different than "mainstream"? Indian food. Still bear a traditional taste but distinctly regional... (thankfully), less thick, buttery or creamy (depending on what you order). Tia was my server/ cashier--seriously the nicest person ever. Everything was made fresh and great portions, especially for those reasonable prices! She kept asking if the food was OK/ I was enjoying myself (I'd ordered more than I could eat in 1 sitting), so I just let her know that. I could see myself making this my neighborhood "go to" if I lived closer. Definitely hits that authentic Nepali-Indian spot.

I asked for medium spice and it had a good kick. There was a side of onion chutney that added some nice zip to balance the richness of the butter chicken sauce. The naan was fluffy and hot and the rice was perfectly cooked. Service was fast and kind, and the space was clean. Street parking was very easy. I will be back!

That spicy chicken tika sauce yes!…read more Came here for dinner on a Sunday night and it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant is nice with a few tables for dining in but there is also an order at the counter for pick up and to go orders. My bf and I decided to order some veggie momos to start and decided to share the chicken tika and the chickpea masala. The waiter was very nice and attentive and quickly took our order. The momos came with a yummy sauce which we enjoyed as we dipped each Momo with ever bite. When the chicken tika came out it was sizzling and smoking and it was so loud because it was on a hot cast iron dish and it smelled so good! The chicken tika came with this super tasty, spicy dipping sauce which I had never had with this dish before, and it really blew us away! I wanted a bucket of this sauce on all my meats! ASAP! The chicken was super tender and juicy and the sauce made it irresistible! We really liked this dish and quickly finished it. We each should of gotten our own order of chicken tika! The naan bread with the chickpeas masala was perfect and our rice was nice and fluffy. We thought we were going to have leftovers but we literally wiped our plates clean! Everything was delicious, savory and so good! We will definitely be back for that chicken tika and spicy sauce and this time I'm not sharing! Hahaha!

We loved the cute outdoor patio and had such a fun experience. I especially appreciated how clearly the menu labels vegan options and allergens, which made ordering really easy. They also have some fun martinis, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was soo good, and the samosas were a highlight for me. My mom thought they were a little spicy, but I thought they were great and loved the flavor. Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, a really enjoyable and unplanned stop that I'd definitely come back to, especially for the patio, drinks, and very vegan-friendly menu.

Pass! Too many other better choices up and down Newbury…read more I wanted to try something a bit different on Newbury, so I chose this Indian restaurant. I regret this. The lamb was pretty dry, and one of their most expensive dishes. A big disappointment. It looks a lot better in the pictures than it actually was. I would definitely not recommend. Maybe just go for a basic curry dish instead. Service was not good. Not friendly either. They weren't at all busy and just non-attentive. I had to ask several times for water refills. The waiter walked by my table several times, clearly saw my empty glass, yet never once offered a refill. And it was a crazy hot day too.

Decent South Asian and Nepalese place with surprisingly a karaoke night!…read more The bara is a fried pancake of sorts, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dipping sauce was good as well, possibly a mint-like flavor. The pork momos were really good too, with nice crimping on the skin and decent fillings inside. The chicken vindaloo was decent, though I might have liked more specificity to the flavoring of the vindaloo. The potatoes were nicely textured. The chicken bites were a bit large, they could have been chopped up a bit. The gorkhali khasi (a goat curry) was fairly decent with tender nice pieces. The flavoring was oversalted and again could have used a tad more definition. The bone-in aspect was appreciated as it held the flavor of the meat. The bhindi masala (okra) was fairly successful with a solid infusion of flavor into the okra. The dish was overall too oily though and some steps need to be taken to minimize the oil. All in all quite enjoyable!

Indian food is new to me so I may not be the best judge but the employees were fantastic, speedy and so pleasant. They start you with a rendition or chips and salsa a bit spicy I liked it!
