    This place is a hole in the wall but can be spotted by their outdoor dining setup. The place inside is small and can seat around ten people maximum. I tried to dine in, but apparently, they have a rule that states that you can't eat inside unless you order $15 worth of food. On a normal day, I can, but I just wanted samossas as that's what they're known for at the restaurant. I went with 2 other people, and we all chose samossas, which is what the restaurant is named, and they just wanted to take out. The person at the register didn't really help us out. He was busy taking orders over the phone and giving them to the delivery people. He wasn't coherent either when we asked questions. Anyway, I ordered the mixed order where it comes with 5 different kinds. I got the 5 on the menu, which are spinach, diced potatoes, chick peas, ground lamb, and ground chicken. It comes with two different sauces, which goes great with the samossas. All were pretty good, but the meat ones were the best for me.

    I ordered takeout for lunch. It's a little confusing between the tiffin box and lunch specials, but essentially we get a bento-like box with the tiffin box with smaller portions of the entree/salad/rice/bread side. I liked the naan more than the roti (you can choose), but both were good to dip with the sauces. - Shrimp chili tiffin: This said spicy, but it was not at all. Once it was chilled, you can get more of the spiciness, but it certainly had a lot of flavor. There were about 4-5 big shrimp in the box and they weren't overcooked, which I appreciated. The sauce was good enough, but not my favorite - Paneer Tikka masala tiffin: The masala is slightly heavier with the tomato flavor in my opinion. I thought the paneer could be slightly less thickly cut to soak up the flavor a bit more, but overall, a nice standard dish. - Lamb korma lunch special: I love korma, and while I had better korma elsewhere, I think they do korma better than the other Indian places in Astoria (i.e. Seva). It's slightly more nuttier here, but not as nutty as I would like (love the korma at Sahib in Manhattan). The lamb itself is also tender. I'd get this again. The prices were very affordable, especially for the lunch specials - I'd come back to try other dishes.

    Chicken Biryani and mixed Samosa! Yummm

    Small spot, amazing food. Slowly trying all their menu. So far we've tried and loved their Chicken biryani, mixed samosas, Goat curry.

    One word. DELICIOUS I love love love Indian food, so I go to so many Indian food spots everywhere I go. This place is basically a hole in the wall Indian spot. Not a full size restaurant but there's still a decent amount of seating inside and outside. My friend and I both enjoyed the food here very much. Service was good too. Left with full happy bellies

    Indulged in a box of potato samosas (20 pieces), and they were a delight. The crispy crust and flavorful filling made them absolutely delicious.

    Well, I purchased the veggie pakora and at first it smelled delicious. But actually it's more flour than veggies inside ..it's way too bready and the filling inside it super dry The green sauce is way to watery. This one item took 20 mins unbelievable.

    If you're looking for a fantastic underrated Indian restaurant which also has outdoor dinning, look no further. First off, the staff was very friendly. My wife and I shared the mix samosas. The samosas we chose were (2) potatoes, (1) lamb, (1) chickpea, and (1) chicken. My wife then ordered a mint limeade and the lamb korma (lunch special, which means it comes with basmati rice and a small salad) and I got the goat vindaloo lunch special. We devoured the samosas and when we started eating our lunch special meal, we were basically full and unable to finish our entrees. We took the rest of our meal to go. I would say this place definitely gives you a good amount of food for the lunch special.

    Little storefront, BIG FLAVORS! I've been wanting to try this place for so long. Today was finally the day and I can honestly say it was well worth the wait!! I ordered the chicken and regular samossas. The flavors were so bold and perfect. Not too spicy but definitely had a good kick to it. You can taste the freshness with each bite. I'm telling you, I just found my new favorite spot! One of the best samossas I ever had. I cannot wait to come back and try their other dishes. Absolutely authentic and really delicious, what more can you ask for?!!

    This was my first time here, and their Chicken tikka masala was amazing! It was one of the best that I've had in a while. I was actually surprised, because some places don't always make it right. Everything was so flavorful and fresh, even the garlic naan was delicious and savory. The sauce was lovely as well. I wanted to eat everything all up, but I had to force myself to save some for tomorrow. Thank you, and I will be back for sure!

    The egg roll, so bland and tasteless...Doesn't for the instruction.

I already make homemade pasta, and this class reinforced my technique and confirmed I'm on the right track. You wait outside the restaurant until they call you in, then they seat you at a spot at the table. I went solo but ended up chatting with others; I never felt lost. The instructor circulated, was helpful and funny. The space was clean and well organized. You receive a set menu (appetizer, entrée, dessert) and you take home the pasta you make. The meal at the end was outstanding. Every course, from the mussels to the carbonara to the sundae, was packed with memorable flavors and beautifully presented. I was impressed by how delicious everything was, especially given the reasonable price. I cooked the pasta at home later: it boiled in about 2 minutes and paired perfectly with a homemade vodka sauce.

Because the dough needs time to sit, they give pre made pasta sheets to make 3 different pasta shapes to make pasta at home! 5/5 for a cute and affordable date night. The servers were nice and helpful. There was cute seating and they also allow for groups to have family style dinner. The class also comes with 3 course meal. The meal was disappointing in terms of taste. The hot honey burrata was okay but a lot of the food tasted like grocery store ingredients. The eggplant parm has no taste outside of cheese. The spicy vodka sauce pasta was alright. Sauce tasted like grocery store bought jarred sauce. The doughnuts were fresh and the highlight. The brownie sundae tastes like Breyer's ice cream with brownie bites (which were cold) from Costco. I'd rate the food 2.5-3/5 as average (probably have more taste at Olive Garden). Overall 4/5 due to the pasta making experience and great service in addition to affordability.

Proscuitto burtata (amore) - fresh fresh fresh and quality ingredients. The proscuitto was perfect along with the burrata, arugula and balsamic glaze on ciabatta which was sweet mix.
