I came here with my husband one evening for dinner and we absolutely loved the food! It was so good, so authentic and they make a nice chai! We loved the buffet style ordering and the ease of choosing your starches and your mains. We will be back soon!
I love dosas and these are outstanding. The mysore masala is a massive triangle of fried and folded chickpea flour around a smooth potato curry and the paneer is a lovely tube packed with chopped red onions and paneer. A great store to get all your snacks and spices plus desserts and more hot foods.
This is a great little spot for inexpensive and super tasty vegetarian Indian food. The staff behind the counter have always been friendly and generous with samples. Today, I ordered the Special Cheese Dosa and they gave me a free cup of spicy vegetable soup just because I had to wait a couple of extra minutes for my order. So far everything we have tried at this place has been amazing. Getting a combo plate is a great way to try multiple curries in one visit. Full disclosure, I'm a big meat eater, but the vegetarian food at this place is so flavorful and satisfying that I actually crave it. They have some indoor and outdoor seating. Much less indoor currently than they had before the pandemic. The market has a good variety of frozen Indian food as well as tea, spices, dry and canned foods, snacks and treats. If you love Indian food flavors and/or really delicious vegetarian food you've gotta give this place a try!
Been coming to eat here for more than five years! Best price-quality meal that can be found anywhere. This is THE spot! It is vegetarian/vegan. That mango lassi… The market has everything one could imagine.
First time here. Great service. Garlic naan was delicious! Numerous vegan and vegetarian entrees to pick from. The combos are a great deal. Generous portions. Only area of improvement is the entrees were a bit on the oily side. Overall great value! Free parking lot. Can get crowded around noon. Recommend going early.
We got vada pav (didn't get a photo), pani puri, dabeli and samosas. All were good and it made for a quick dinner. The green chutney was really tasty. The samosas were so nice and hot.
I’ve tried this place twice now. Both times the food has been delicious. First time, the food wasn’t very Spicy. The second time was very spicy. I recommend getting a mango lassi to calm down the spice. The fresh coconut is good too. The price is fair and the food is great. It’s only $11.99 to get a 3 veggie combo. They’re also very friendly.
