Wow! Finest Indian food for miles - Edit
This place will surprise you. Fresh food like few restaurants. Chef V will share his passion for his wonderful work. He uses copper cookware to help bring out the best in the food for nutrients.
Read moreSamosas are the best I have ever had. No deep fryer. Doesn't use added oils, or sugar. No preservatives. Turmeric in everything. Very health conscious place.
If you dont like spice, tell them. Most everything with was spiced right for me.
Pros: *****, Delicious 😋

Fresh take on Indian fusion food - Edit
I had a lovely experience at this Indian fusion restaurant and felt compelled to share! Right from the moment I walked in, the staff impressed me with their warm, polite, and genuinely courteous service — something that made the entire meal feel even more enjoyable.
Read moreOne of the highlights for me was the abundance of vegan options on the menu — a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. It’s rare to see such variety without sacrificing flavor or creativity. The dishes felt like a fresh, modern reinterpretation of Indian home cooking — not traditional, but in the best way. They reminded me of meals a health-conscious Indian mom might invent in her kitchen: light, nourishing, and inventive, yet still deeply satisfying.
I tried the Desi Quesaritta, vegan mushroom soup, and vegan Indian flatbread — each dish had its own unique twist and was packed with flavor. And I can’t go without mentioning their vegan mango lassi — absolutely delicious. Creamy, refreshing, and surprisingly dairy-free!
If you’re open to Indian flavors presented in a new, health-forward light, and you appreciate kind service and thoughtful menu curation, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

Awesome Tacos! - Edit
Every time I go I get the Paneer Tikka Tacos since they’re so great! I finally branched out yesterday and tried the Saag Paneer Tacos, which I liked almost as much. I recommend adding the avocado- it’s quite tasty.
