Good indian street food. Bombay grilled sandwich was really tasty. Virgin mojito was good too. Samosa chaat was not bad. Cold coffee could be a bit thick. One of the dish cane with small potato chips packet. Overall good vibe and ambiance. Its a little expensive for the quantity. Panipuri was 12$, which is very pricey compared to other places.

It was our first time at this place and loved the food. We had the paneer Tikka sandwich (came with small lays) and corn chat. Both were just like how it would be in India. The pricing was reasonable too. Their desserts looked interesting, but we were too full to try. Will definitely come back again.

I don’t quite remember what our group got…but it was all very good! Definitely feels like more of a contemporary/innovative take on Indian foods that I generally get to experience. The lassi is the right amount of sweetness without going over, good amount of tartness which I love. I think we got the aloo tiki sandwich; very tasty and unique blend of flavors. Same with the Chaat (the one where the bottom has some crispy wafers); a bit of tartness and sweetness creating a very nice blend of flavors. The only photo I remembered to take is the dessert; the Ross tres leches truffle/cake. It hovers on the edge of just a bit too much sweetness if I ate a lot more of it but because it’s a smaller portion, perfect!

This place seems like a lovely family business. The menu is very interesting and presents much of the street food we miss here. The food was great and we were treated very nice. They even have fresh fruit juice.

Their desserts are a must try. Rasamalai tres leche, motichoor cheesecake are amazing and satisfied my sweet tooth. Their chicken tikka rice bowl was very creamy and perfect texture. No too thick not watery at all. I have been missing this authentic Indian taste here in bay are from so long and now I don’t have to worry about that. They have so many items that will bring you childhood back. Also tried their blueberry and strawberry virgin mojitos and they are such a refreshing amazing drinks made with fresh fruit just perfect for this hot weather these days. Overall I would recommend this place.
