“ Met up with a group of friends to enjoy the Sunday night oilfree vegan buffet. It was a hit! Almost every dish was gluten free too, the exceptions being the samosas and panipuri. Lots of options to choose from! Plus they were very accommodating about arranging tables so our group of 16 could all sit together. Were already planning on coming back! ”
“ We requested for vegan and oilfree options. The food was delicious, and the service was fast and excellent. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious vegan and oil free dining options. Note their vegan buffet is on Sundays, but if buffets arent your thing, you can also order a la carte vegan and oilfree dishes. ”

“ The food is excellent here! One of the best tasting Indian food! They have a large menu for gluten free and dairy free options. Vegan options too. Very personal customer service feeling. Not busy in the evenings so great place to grab a bite to eat when your crunch with time. This rating is based on the food and service. The bathroom could use some updating. ”
“ Food amazing!! Service top notch! Gave me a mango blemded beverage while I waited. Family eating nearby wondered why this old honkie was in their restaurant, but then a pair of crackers came in and were seated, so I wasnt the only honkie in the place. Del makhni is the best I have ever tasted! My wife adored it too! The man bread was divine, cheese, garlic and spinach varieties. I pray they are in business forever! Love this place more than my dog John john. Even though he is a commie and barks at me all the time, It doesnt really matter when this place exists! Now I know there is a God, and heaven does exist. And it is this place! Love it so much! ”
“ My husband and I were hankering for Indian food, and the places Ive enjoyed are further away now. Im so glad we found this spot and gave it a chance! Lots of great veganvegetarian menu options. I had chicken tikka, he had the eggplant curry dish, and we started with samosas. I got a masala chai and he got a mango lassi. All delicious, sauces to go with everything were good. We felt cozy and server was very sweet. Food came out quickly, hot and fresh. The naan is also pillowysoft. We will be back to try more of the menu!! ”
