I felt ripped off. We paid almost $40 just for two chai, two aalo paratha & two lacha paratha with anda piyaz (eggs) while ate chicken meal combos for way less price at other restaurants in the neighbourhood.

I visited this place due to hype on social media but will go elsewhere for breakfast on my next visit.

Amazing good, cozy environment but the best part was the family who run this place. It feels like I am back home. ❤?

Loved their mango lassi, I almost emptied their fridge from this drink. It was perfect. Their samosas were delicious too, but what really impressed me is how exquisite the smell was. Maybe it was the sauce that came with it, it really added to the whole experience. Even the chicken rice was very fragrant & just as delicious. A friend recommended this place & I'm very happy to have discovered it. They even gave us a sweet flat bread at the end of our meal, on the house.

Paratha was good but can have a lil bit of salt in it. Chai on other hand was amazing. Just need to provide complimentaries already with the dish like Pickle. Other wise it was amazing. Would definitely go again.
