    Masala Dosa
    Jamie J.

    Love this place for my south indian fix. The thali and masala dosas are great. Additionally, they do a buffet which has a lot of good options. This is vegeterian so just a heads up.

    Channa & Puri
    J E.

    Came in for lunch on a weekday - Getting there soon after they opened, but by the time I left, they were quite busy. They offer a buffet which was filled with many appetizing items. But I chose to order from the menu, as I was in the mood for saag. Started with their pakora, the chili and the mixed veggie pakoras and both were pretty decent, but the batter didn't have the spice level I'm used to from pakora. Their samosa was perfectly seasoned and tasted great. Their naan was on the dense side, not fluffy and airy, which was a little disappointing. I did try their saag and it was really good! So was their channa and puri. Aloo mutter was really tasty and seasoned nicely as well. I tried their rice pudding for dessert and this was a warm rice pudding, definitely not resembling kheer, but it was decent. Overall, nice spot for some nicely seasoned vegetarian food.

    Paper masala dosa

    Love their Dosas. Friday evening in a hurry went to this restaurant.We ordered paper masala Dosa and Gobi Manchurian masala Dosa.Both were yummy full of flavor .I love my Paper butter masala Dosa .Manchurian was ok not too bad .

    Not really a bargain but that's ok

    Haven't been back in a while so while in tho area stopped in for lunch and not disappointed. Great vegetarian and some vegan offerings, i especially liked the cauliflower and onions in the spicy tomato sauce, or at least that's what I think it was. Can't name you the dishes but they were all fantastic. The staff were very nice, the restaurant was very clean which I appreciate for high turnover seatings. Weekend buffet was a little over $25 so a little pricy for veggies but worth it.

    Everything continues to be great. Fresh hot food. Quality and quantity still good. Quick service. Keep up the good work. Clean and comfortable dining room.

    Gobi Manchurian Dry
    Sarah C.

    I'm not usually one for Indian food BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS PLACE!! It was to die for and I would 1000% be back! As someone who has many allergies (nuts, lentils, chickpeas) the owner and waiters were on top of it. They walked me through the menu and ensured I was not allergic to any other ingredients that were added into the food. I ordered the Gobi Manchurian Dry and a surprise entree (unfortunately I never got the name...) the Gobi had the perfect spice and was not too salty or sweet. The entree had cheese blocks within it and was in a curry/tomato sauce.

    Masala Dosa
    Huma P.

    Loved the MASALA DOSA. The servers are friendly too. The masala dosa is huge and is good for two people. I also tried samosa chaat and pani puri which was just average. So i would only recommend masala dosa from this place.

    We've been coming here for over 10 years. The food is consistent and so is the service. You cannot go wrong with a good dosa.

A true mark of authenticity is seeing Indian families dining here--and the food absolutely lives up to that standard. You're warmly greeted upon arrival, and the service is polished, attentive, and welcoming. The décor is stylish yet comfortable, creating an inviting dining atmosphere. After four years away, it was wonderful to return and see the buffet back. The selection of savory dishes is impressive, complemented by desserts and drinks--including an excellent mango lassi. This is a family-owned restaurant that takes great pride in both food and hospitality. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality offered. Highly recommended, and don't miss their sister restaurant in Falls Church, Mumbai Central, which upholds the same exceptional standards.

The Butter Chicken also got rave reviews from my husband, who went with another friend. It is quiet, has some outdoor seating, the service is nearly fine-dining levels, and the food is delicious. The also have a date-filled naan which is not something I've seen before, and it was quite tasty.

    The food itself is fantastic!…read more But there is a glitch in the system... if you buy a $45 gift card [worth $50] on the web site, you can only redeem it in the restaurant. You'll get a code via email, but you still have to redeem that code IN the restaurant. I was expecting a electronic gift card. And since the restaurant is geared towards food delivery services and take out, when you redeem the gift card in the restaurant and order there it takes them FOREVER to get you your food. In my case it took more than half and hour from the time I ordered until I got my food; so I had to burn all that time sitting around in the restaurant, while other take out orders and delivery services got their food more quickly. The restaurant itself is clean, if a little dated.

We were greeted and chose to sit near the front of the restaurant. Our waitress was perfection. There is no other way to describe her consistent care. She was never over-bearing but always accessible. She brought over each course perfectly timed. The service alone would be worth another visit. The food. Holy cow, the food. It was delicious! We have been to several Indian restaurants in the area and were never quite satisfied. This restaurant is so good. The Naan alone deserves to be noticed. It was amazing. Everything we ordered was done well. I ordered the Mixed Grill Tandoori. My husband had the lamb vindaloo. It was so good. It is a little unassuming place in a strip mall, but definitely worth a visit.

But if they were in India, they would fit right in! I have specific items that i absolutely love here and come to the store just for these. I know for a fact these are fresh made daily ( just given the volume they sell each day + having heard that from a wedding vendor a while ago). I absolutely love love love their motichur Ladoos! For anyone unfamiliar - these are little dessert balls made with ghee, sugar and chickpea flour. They sell these by the hundreds each day. Anytime we visit friends that are not from the area, they beg us to bring them som Ladoos. Very reminiscent of India and how these are traditionally made. I wouldn't change a thing about them. I also love their Gulab jamun and Cham Cham - again desserts that are super popular in India and I think they do very well. I've never bought these from here and found them to be lacking in taste or stale etc. When it comes to savory food, we have a few things we love - samosas ( again made fresh daily, they sell a lot of these). Love the tamarind chutney these come with. I actually buy that sauce by the tub to have at home for other Indian dishes, it's really really good. - the Dahi poori chaat, again delicious and always fresh - aloo tikki chaat, big fan favorite at our home when it comes to Indian street food - chole Bhature, so so yum and very reminiscent of India with the taste They used to do Indian breakfast platters over the weekend but stopped now which I'm bummed about. I stay away from the hot food bar because I don't usually like that. People seem to love it. The place is def a little rough around the edges, dated and a little sad looking. Their food is really good though!
