The tacos were by far my favorite -- I honestly would've been happy if that's all I ordered. The masala fries and paneer pizza, though, were nothing special. The pizza had way too much cheese and didn't have much flavor unless I used the malai sauce. The staff was very nice, and I'd come back for their tacos, but probably not for anything else.

I popped by for dinner last week after seeing the great reviews. Unfortunately, both meals I…read moresampled did not live up to expectations. My tikka wrap was almost entirely mozzarella with a smattering of chicken bits, tomato, and onion. It overwhelmed me, an avowed cheese lover, so I maxed out after two bites. I handed it off to my sweet husband who will eat anything while I tucked into his butter chicken. The naan and curry were tasty, but the chicken was so dry that I gave up after two more bites. Such a bummer because I'm always on the hunt for reasonably priced, fast casual meal spots to add into the rotation.

I placed my order with the cashier, who was warm and welcoming. The menu is remarkably diverse, offering classic Indian favorites alongside traditional Nepali dishes, which makes it stand out. The restaurant is known for its momos, curry dishes and aromatic sauces. Importantly, there are plenty of options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Their creative fusion items, including curry inspired pizzas are their specialties. My soup was quite generous and filling. Prices are reasonable, and the food consistently delivers big on taste.

I asked for my order to be not spicy because I have a toddler to feed as well and unfortunately it was still moderately spicy, so my toddler wasnt able to eat the main dishes :/ The chicken tikka masala was okay, pretty tomato forward and felt a lil bland. The chicken was tender though. Same with the saag paneer. they did give me a good portion for both entrees but it was also not as flavorful as some others ive had. dont think I would come back. Would probably try a different spot next time. In the past I have had Northern Indian food that is creamier and the flavor profiles are pretty different. This spot isnt bad though. Samosas were average nothing crazy, the potato filling was bland and outer shell could have been crispier. They also did not give any chutney for the samosas which was a bit disappointing as well.
