Reviews
We love the food here! On most occasions, we have done takeout, so don't have much experience with the service but people have been nice. We've met the chef who manages multiple locations, and he's an amazing chef with great experience. The quality of their menu items is consistently excellent. Their Kathi rolls are a go-to favorite. More recently, they introduced this croissant dabeli dish which I thought was off the charts amazing!! Buttery croissant with very tasty stuffing, and delicious crunch with peanuts and pomegranate. I also love that they give little parle-G biscuits with the chai. I also HIGHLY recommend their dal halwa. It's quite heavy but SO delicious and flavorful.
Very interesting restaurant where the dishes all have a twist on traditional Indian cuisine. They're pretty adventururous and seem to have good ideas, but not all of the dishes turn out well. The Tikka masala burrito was good, but we felt that it would've been better enjoyed as a traditional dish, with naan on the side. The tandoori fried chicken sandwich on the other hand was pretty good, but didn't get too much of the tandoori flavours and felt more like a traditional chicken sandwich. Though promising, I think they need some more time to refine their menu items so that they get to showcase delicious Indian cuisine in innovate forms!
3.5 stars, rounded up for service. Ate twice recently, for the first time at this location. The good: I get WiFi here, and it's actually a great place to lunch while working. Service is friendly and attentive. Tables are well stocked with napkins and utensils. There's a huge menu. The average: The food is not great. Palak paneer was decent for my taste. The chicken tikka masala didn't have a lot of flavor. The butter chicken was too sweet. The bad: most dishes cost more than their equivalent elsewhere around town. I recently had curry & kebab in SM and thought their dishes were better, but I'm still more likely to come to curry up now for their convenient location, the service, and more comfortable seating.
Love this place! I had been here before, and can't believe I haven't reviewed it before now! Delicious food, my favorite is a butter chicken, but then recently I had to fry chicken sandwich and it is amazing! Great location, nice friendly service, and reasonable prices.
Food here is fabulous. Their food truck is also great to order from. Will definitely come back again.
