New favorite! We were warmly greeted upon entry, told we could sit wherever we like and there’s a water station. It was very clean and very well lit due to the natural lighting. Our server was the most attentive and considerate person. She gave us space but also made sure to see how we liked our first bites and that we had enough water and offered to package our leftovers at the end. We only kept leftovers so we had enough food for the next day too because it was so good we wanted to “keep the party going”. I highly recommend the mango lemonade and the vegetable and mango curry. It was very easy to eat vegan here. I highly recommend coming here!
What a wonderful meal and wonderful service! I would highly recommend this place the food was very good and tasted so fresh. The owners are husband and wife team, he cooks, and she was waiting tables . She was so very polite and caring about our meal. Felt like I was in her home. We will definitely be back to try more dishes! Thank you!
We stopped here for a quick lunch after visiting the tulip festival. We showed up at a pretty busy time, yet we were seated with a very short waiting period. The customer service was very professional, and the food was brought to us with good presentation and in a timely manner (not to mention delicious!). would definitely come again.
I hope everyone can make a visit to this petite restaurant next to the river in Mount Vernon! My daughter and I LOVE this place. We ordered the Mango Lassi, Chai tea, and Coconut Curry with Lamb. They have lots of vegetarian options if you like. We also had Samosas with Mint Chutney and Tamarind sauce, and Garlic Naan. Finished with homemade Saffron Ice cream. Why you should go: I have visited plenty of Indian restaurants, the food is delicious and made with care. The spice and flavors are authentic. When you bite into the crispy Samosa drizzled in the sweet and tangy chutney you will taste heaven. Their curry is so satisfying, eat with a fork or a piece naan. (Yes, I loved it) The homemade ice cream is very delicately flavored with toasted almonds on top and dusting of yellow saffron underneath. A unique flavor experience you do not want to miss! We were waited on by a gracious husband and wife team that made the whole experience personal.
This place is unstoppable. We usually get take out but I’ve dined in a few times too. Every single time they are friendly and welcoming, and the food is prepared quickly. The food itself is phenomenal. We love the Chicken Roll and Korma the best. What a gem for downtown MV!
We went for the Tulip Festival 2025 and wanted to have a quick Indian snacks. Random search on Google brings out this gem of a restaurant. The location, taste, and atmosphere was perfect. We had samosas and chai and thoroughly enjoyed their chutneys.
This place is small but cozy with a very friendly atmosphere. The food came quickly and was delicious. We ordered butter chicken, lamb curry, and dessert. I will definitely visit again!
