It was my second time trying Indian food & I really liked it! The basmati rice and chicken and paneer tikka masala were very flavorful. The naan was crunchy and appeared to be overbaked. Overall it was a very satisfying and filling meal, would come again. The cashier guy, Noah? also has great customer service.

The cashiers here are very funny and friendly, especially Noah and Tim. The food is nice and very filling, can last you up to a whole day if you have their burritos for breakfast. Would recommend to anyone their pizzas and the fried stuffs. Great service and food overall.

This place is situated in UCSD campus. The food is super basice and no matter what you get, all of it tastes the same. I had lots of hopes with this place as I been to other curry up now but this one is not even close

I really enjoy this place! I go here almost every day and the Hella Vegan bowl (in the picture) is by far my favourite. Depending on when you go the wait time will range from absolutely no wait to maybe 5-10 minutes (never anything outrageous though). The staff is always friendly and always hooks me up with the portions. I highly recommend this place and since opening it has become my favourite place to eat on campus!

Food is really so-so and dishes are half the size of what usually Indian restaurants offer.

Hot food is delicious, but I didn’t know there was cold food. I ordered Kachori Chaat and I couldn’t even finish it ‍

I’ve only ordered a few times from this place and so far, the food experience has been great. Don’t come here with the expectations that this is on the same level with other Indian restaurants. People might argue that it lacks authenticity, but in my opinion, it still taste great. I really enjoyed the sweet potatoes waffle fries—this is definitely my go to sides to satisfy my fries cravings. If you’re looking for decent curry and butter chicken, come here. Service is remarkable. I often get served by Noah, and he’s one of the really welcoming and friendly staff. Would come again for the food and this extraordinary service.

The buttered chicken plate was very good with a good portion. I don’t recommend the sweet potato fries . They are a bit soggy.
