Inside this trendy eatery, you’ll find a friendly staff mixed with the smell of fresh naan and curries cooking. There isn’t much seating inside, but they still offer a few chairs and tables, as well as window seating. This is more of a takeout spot, but dining in isn’t bad for a casual meal.

The menu here is simple and offers a variety of Indian rice dishes, curries and rotis.

To start your meal, you can’t go wrong with the keema pav ($8.99) which is a lightly-spiced lamb dish served in a fresh, house-made bun. The spice level of this dish is mild-medium. The crispy bun combined with the savoury lamb is a tasty combination that you won’t be able to stop eating.

The roti here is definitely the star of the show. With a number of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options to choose from, you are definitely spoiled for choice. A favourite is the chana masala roti ($11.99). It’s a perfect combination of spicy chickpeas in a tomato-based sauce, served with either white or garlic naan. The spicy sauce is the perfect pairing with the fluffy and soft naan. You just can’t go wrong.
