I also got to pick up from their TooGoodToGo "competition" , Malgudi, but Kaanchi wins for me! An acquaintance told me that the random Indian dessert I received was probably Shrikand, a sweet dish prepared with curd and sugar. I am guessing this is/was a special as I had never had this before and I liked it a lot. 12/2: This TooGoodToGo I have only seen one more time since the original date of this review. The random opportunity for the sampling does make me want to consider dining in or taking out on the regular from here when I can.

Coming from SF Bay Area, the dosa menu slightly threw me off. There is dosa listed and then various chutneys specified at the bottom. However there are lot of varieties! So do check those out. I am going to visit again and try the curry leaves one for sure. We asked which one is spicy and their recommendation was Podi and Mysore. Which surprised us but boy was he right. Both were tasty but we did have to tamper it down with Mango lassi later. Rassam was really good too. Do visit!

I am very, VERY sensitive to spice so I ordered mine to be prepared "Kid's Mild" and my husband got "Mild" Although the food was otherwise wonderful the spice level was OVER THE TOP! I was so hungry and did my best but was literally unable to eat it. After two fork fulls I was suffering with the burning of my mouth and tongue. I couldn't get it to stop. No amount of bread or rice would help. My husband was in pretty bad shape with his which was even spicier. I don't know what you happen if you ordered it spicy. A child could not eat this! $62 later and I'm eating applesauce as dinner and even that feels like it's burning. Maybe just be careful about insisting on how spicy they make it.

I highly recommend this place! Note: They prefer tips in cash (which I'm finding to be a trend in these Indian restaurants).

We ordered onion kulcha (very dry) and vegetable samosa. I'm not sure what herb they use in these, but it tasted like eating perfume. For mains we ordered malai kofta, Chicken Shahi Korma, and Saagwala chicken. The sauce of the malai kofta was good, but the balls were so dry. The chicken used in both dishes was thigh meat. Every single bite was full of fat. I tried to eat a few pieces and gave up. We ordered medium spice for the chicken dishes and it tasted like there was barely any spice. Portions were very small.

Such delay in bringing food to the table, Drinks were only given after I reminded that they're not here, that too after 25 minutes.

After the payment, the receipt was printed and there was a to-go charge. Not that I can't afford the $.50 charge, but really? you didn't have the decency to tell me the food is arriving and/or apologized for the delay, you charged me on top of it. They don't show what's being charged on the machine, only show the tip part and walks away. we have been there many times and this incident makes me want to not go there anymore.

There are moments in life when you set out in search of dinner and instead discover a small,…read morebenevolent corner of the universe. My wife, acting as both navigator and oracle, found Norbu after I asked for something within walking distance of our hotel. Four Himalayan restaurants, all within a short stroll, which felt statistically suspicious in the heart of Amish country. We chose Norbu because it had the best reviews and, more importantly, because it offered Nepalese and Bhutanese dishes, which none of us had ever tried. We are a family that tries to make it a point to say yes to the unknown. Finding it is part of the adventure. Norbu is tucked along North Christian Street, though calling it a street feels optimistic at best. It is more of a very committed alley. The restaurant sits inside an office building with a few brave parking spaces placed carefully on postage stamp sized lot out front. Had we been driving, I am certain we would have missed it and continued on, poorer for the experience. Fortunately, we were on foot and arrived intact. Inside, the place was alive at 7 PM. There were low tables with stools that suggested a more traditional way of dining, and a couple of unoccupied standard tables for those of us still learning. We took one of the latter and were seated quickly. We began with momo, a dish that seems like could quietly solve many of the world's problems if placed on the right tables. Soft, hand folded dumplings, steamed and served with a savory chutney. We ordered the "Mix It All" option, which gave us vegetable, beef, and chicken. Each had its own personality, its own quiet argument for why it should be your favorite. My older son ordered the Sweet N Sticky Tofu, which was the most familiar thing we ate all night. It tasted like a thoughtful conversation between General Tso and sesame tofu. Very good, very well executed, just less novel. I had the Pak Sha Datsi, the national dish of Bhutan, which I did not know until I read it on the menu and our server filled in the missing information with patience and enthusiasm. Norbu itself, we learned, is rooted in Himalayan traditions and a desire to share the food and culture of Nepal and Bhutan with a wider audience, which feels like a noble use of time. The dish arrived as a gently spiced stew with pork and a blend of aged and smoked cheeses. It was creamy, delicate, and somehow grew more interesting with every bite. It did not resemble anything I had eaten before, which is a rare and welcome thing as I grow ever older. My wife and younger son both ordered the Nepali Thali, a kind of edible symphony made up of curry, lentils, vegetables, chutneys, pickles, and a dessert pudding. My wife chose the fish curry, which was tender and lightly flavored. My son chose the chicken curry, which quietly became the star of the table. It had a familiar warmth, something like Indian curry, but with its own distinct voice. The accompanying mustard greens, curried potatoes, and a simple mix of green beans, corn, and carrots, were so flavorful that we found ourselves marveling at them like tourists at a natural wonder. Service was excellent. Our waitress guided us through the menu, made thoughtful suggestions, and shared a bit of the restaurant's story. By the end of the meal, we felt not just fed, but informed. Our only failure was not saving room for dessert. There was a chai flavored cashew cheesecake that sounded like it might change a person's outlook on life. We will have to return to test this theory. Norbu is the kind of place you hope to find and rarely do. It is hidden, a little hard to reach, and entirely worth the effort. Five stars, because sometimes you find something amazing and new, and that reminds you that the world is still full of good surprises.
