This place is situated in the corner of Irvine Spectrum Mall and it exudes a cool vibe. It’s a cute and cozy spot where you can indulge in a variety of Indian street snacks. We opted for samosa chaat and bhelpuri. The flavors aren’t very spicy, so if you enjoy a kick of spice, this might not be your go-to. Nonetheless, it’s worth trying on occasion. The prices are reasonable considering the portions served.

I used to go to the one in San Mateo, the food is just so so good, and the portions are wonderful. Lots of vegan options, and my partner and I had a wonderful time sitting at the island area and the light wonderful. It was a great date/brunch time.

I got my food really quick! Each bite has rich flavor. The naan bread is fresh and soft. The chicken is tender with mild spice. The rice is also soft. The chickpeas have a kick and it’s great. I’m coming back.

A conveniently located casual dining spot in Irvine Spectrum. The menu ranges from various popular Indian street foods and snacks to meal platters. The menu also has healthy (cauliflower rice) options. We ordered the vada pav, bhel, mini samosas, fried ravioli with tikka sauce, and tea. The tea comes with mini cookies. Everything tasted good and the service was fast.
