It's a simple, no-frills family restaurant, but the food is incredible. My friend ordered goat mandi, and I went for the chicken. Everything was tender and juicy, with perfectly balanced spices that didn't overpower the flavors. We will definitely be returning!

We were unfamiliar with the food, so we asked the waitress/hostess/girl at the counter to give us suggestions. We went with her suggestions and weren't disappointed. The family meal serving suggestion is for 4-6 people and certainly could have fed that many. The falafel was delicious. The hummus on the side was excellent. The bread served with the meal, not sure of what it's called but it is a soft, spongey bread/pita was so great I ate an entire basket myself.
