“I found this place on a search for dosas. They have them and they are delicious. The small 1 for kids is huge and comes with a curry dal and tahini, both which were extremely delicious. My family loved their meals so much they demanded we return, which we did within 2 weeks. During our second visit we got to try the lunch buffet. The buffet had several choices for entrees, naan, a dessert, and even soup. At each visit the staff was extremely friendly and the kitchen staff indulged our questions about food. This place is small because it only has a little spot in the strip mall on 86th Street. But the flavor and friendliness are enormous!“

“This place put chipotle to SHAME….My daughter goes to Drake and always brags on how good the food here is . Finally stopped and gave it a try. We both had burritos and they were fantastic!! From the FRESHLY made tortillas to the selection of Fillings everything was great! I honestly wish I was still in Iowa so I could go get another one. It will be my go to stop when dropping her off and picking her up from school.“

“After reading the reviews on here we decided to give this place a try today for lunch. A true hidden gem! The food was so delicious. I’m a vegetarian and my husband is not and there were plenty of options for both of us. He said the chicken was wonderful. The vegetarian rice was rich and flavorful and the lentil dal was the best I’ve had. They bring fresh warm naan to your table, that alone was worth the visit. Chai tea is also included. It was creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. The samosa rolls are my new favorite food. We will definitely be back!“
