Meats were tender in the curries. The garlic naan was quality. I'd definitely regular the place. Mango lassi was fire as well. Prices are great, 65 ish before taxes and tip for 1 chicken, 1 lamb, samosa starter, gulab jamun, and this one other dessert. Added 1.99 per person for mango lassi.

This restaurant doesn't seem to care whether you've requested "mild" , so unfortunately with my…read morehealth conditions when I sometimes require non-spicy food, we're unlikely to return here. Pakoras--good, good sauces, got ten in takeout order Samosas: you get two large, they're spicy, and tasty. The mint sauce is spicy as well Plain naan--good chewy fluffy texture, flavor lacking so garlic is better in our opinion Malai kofta (mild)--good. Second time we had this our mild request was not honored and they were medium-hot. Paneer tikka masala (mild)--good, though paneer harder texture than usual Garlic naan: the garlic butter smell was great, and taste was good Not as good: Navratam korma (medium) no mushroom--medium spicy helped this dish, as it wasn't as tasty as the others. Perhaps too much coconut in the sauce Mixed vegetables (mild) no mushrooms: although we asked for mild, it was spicy. I wasn't a fan of the seasonings under the spiciness, either.

I ordered the palak paneer which I've had at multiple spots and only one so far has been great. I ordered it extra spicy because I don't like it otherwise and they made it perfect for me. The palak paneer was so creamy, rich, spicy, and the cheese was so yummy. My boyfriend ordered the tandoori chicken which was super juicy and flavorful. The green sauce on the side tasted a little minty but was great with it. I love the basmati rice and the butter naan. Everything was super affordable and the server was very nice and friendly. The palak paneer is the best here and I will be coming back very soon!!

Loved it so much that we went to this place back to back on 2 weekends

Service: workers were nice and friendly Ambiance: nicely designed modern space, the place is spacious. There are boardgames and plenty of tables to sit down and study. Wifi is provided. The place wasn't packed on Wednesday afternoon Masala chai $4.49 (3/5): This chai was fairly average, cardamom-forward tasting. Didn't really taste much spice. Kerala chai $4.25 (2/5): This tasted extremely earthy and not sweet. I'm not sure what this is supposed to taste like, but it wasn't my jam. Vegetable porotta roll $12 (4/5): the curry was yummy, it's hearty, and had a soupy-like texture. The porotta was nice and crispy. Wished the curry was given bigger portions Hazelnut puff pastry $4.25 (4.5/5): warmed up crispy puff pastry filled with nutella and they're delicious. I recommend this place for an excellent study/work spot. Nice and quiet with extremely fast wifi. The food options for a cafe are great as well. Their chai however is their weak point.

Jubba is serving up some of the best food i've ever had. As a newbie to somali food, I am now hooked. we came in on a friday around 6:15 and there was a steady group of people enjoying their food. we ordered at the counter and took a seat outside to enjoy the weather 1 Sambusa 1 chicken wrap 1 beef plate the sambusa arrived first and initially I thought Samosa in my head. But the sambusa has a better structure, holding its shape after multiple bites. the Dough is softer but still crispy. it came with beef , chilies and other vegetables. so so good. the perfect appetizer for us. it came with a spicy green sauce that seemed to be the common sauce for every dish then the stars of the show. The sizzling hot beef plate served with veggies, rice and a salad was unbelievable. add on a lemon and some more greens sauce and you're in for a treat. the rice alone was so flavorful and it tasted like there was meat drippings on top. the beef was so tender and fell apart in 1 bite. I was blown away with the dish the chicken wrap... man. I'm not sure what kind of bread, pita was used but it was fantastic. a huge wrap with lettuce, onion chicken, sauce and other veggies. It was so messy and hard to eat with your hands so we resorted to eating with a fork and knife. Unreal. Unreal. massive portions again which are a theme here. But holy smokes this was so good. The chicken has a nice char, but is also juicy and saucy. the spongy pita neutralizes the bombardment of flavor from the meat, and the veggies compliment everything with some crunch and texture. Service was great and very helpful. They were extremely friendly and a delight to talk with. We will be back 5/5

I do wish the tilapia plate we ordered had more fish because the portion was pretty small, but the rice was absolutely delightful. After eating, we didn't feel heavy or bloated; it was very fulfilling. The only downside was that all of the tables were very sticky, and I wish they were cleaner. I also wish they offered more refreshing drinks that complemented the food instead of just sodas. Overall, I would definitely come back again.

One of the few Indian restaurants that doesn't taste like they have three main sauces they pull from with no effort to make flavors differentiate or pop. The dishes here taste like the chef's actually care about the food. Service is polite and simple. Very low maintenance. Not a restaurant if you like to be picky. Come to enjoy it as it is. My only complaint (and it is minor) is that, because they do a lot of take out, they have a lot of drinks and other items prepared to just grab and go for you. This doesn't work if your order anything other than water to drink at the table. They offer really interesting and refreshing tea/lemonades, yet when they bring the drink it comes prepared to go in plastic cup, sealed, with boba style fat straw (as opposed to the very elegant picture on their menu). It stood out as massively tacky and ugly, especially because of how thoughtful the design choices are for the table scape and the rest of the dining experience. Strange place to cut a corner. Even opening the to go cup at the counter, pouring it into one of the lovely water glasses (which is what I did, lol) would be easy and streamline the beautiful experience.

U pay online too from your ph. In $146, we got: - masala dosa - 2 - 5/5 - good texture and comes with lots of chutneys and sambhar. We ordered masala on side. Good taste and big portion. - sukha mutton - 5/5 - too good!! Loved the perfectly cooked meat and flavorful marination. - apollo chicken - 5/5 - spicy kick and a little saucy app. Yummy!! - seeraga samba chicken biryani - 1/5 - epic fail!! Deceiving huge portion for $19 but only 2 chicken bone in pieces :( the rice was good and so was the chicken but the chicken to rice ratio for the price was a deal breaker. The salan was tasteless too . - butter chicken - 5/5 - creamy, rich and perfect :) passed my punjabi taste buds and i am thankful i paired it with the parotta - parotta - 2 pcs come in one plate - 5/5 - flaky and soft!! Delectable :) - rumali roti - 2 orders which got us 4 rotis - 3/5 - stale and falling apart. Not fresh. Maybe they used the frozen one :( skip it - filter coffee - 3.5/5 - tiny portion and served in a to go cup which was flimsy.
