I truly appreciate the kindness & exceptional service the staff showed my family. We arrived with a group of 25 people &, with only about 10 minutes' notice, they graciously accommodated all of us. Despite the many requests coming from every direction, they remained patient, attentive, & welcoming throughout our visit.

I ordered the vegetable noodles & the butter paneer masala, & both were absolutely delicious! The butter paneer masala was so good that I couldn't leave without buying a container of the sauce to take home. I can't wait to recreate the flavors at home.

This was my first time dining here, & it certainly won't be my last. The combination of outstanding food & genuinely caring service made for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this restaurant, & I'll definitely be back soon!

Great indian restaurant in CDN. Would recommend the dosa.
Staff is nice, but they got my order wrong on two consecutive visits, then forgot to remove them from the bill.
Other than that great food.

This is easily one of my go to places when I'm in the area. The food is always fresh & full of flavour. For starters I'd recommend the chicken 65. & as a main course the briyani or the dosa chicken manchurian wrap. Or even the masala dosa, which is huge. The owner is always kind
