OMG ❣️ By far the best Indian Food in Curry Hill! The addition of Bombay Street Food is awesome. Mutter Paneer off the charts. Bhel Puri fantastic. We have been coming for over 20+ years and they have NEVER disappointed! In fact my wife went into labor shortly after an amazing meal here and we gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who loves Pongal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 💯
DELICIOUS food, very friendly and attentive service, and very reasonable prices. Extensive menu of South Indian delights. Would happily come back!
I got the papadum and dosai with onion and malasa, they were excellent and the service was excellent too!! The waiter was always attentive and kind.
Fantastic and very underrated Indian spot if you're looking for delicious, authentic veg Indian food. Was particularly impressed by the chaat offerings: samosa chaat was of particular note for being yummy. For entrees I would highly recommend the dosa as it's flavorful and crispy. Definitely get the filter coffee at the end as it took me back to India 😊. Summary in three words: varied yummy food.
