Trish PeachApril 5, 2015Eggplant curry dosa & coconut roti, the paneer kofta & biriyani were delish. The drinks are super sweet & like having dessert, my fave the date, rose water & almond milk.
Olga NezhevenkoApril 12, 2015Mango almond curry was delicious, but the Kofta India was a little intense (too many different spices). The side of rice is delicious even on its own - has spices and Carmelites onions in it!- Hav VollJanuary 22, 2017The pineapple dosa is amazing. This place is very Indian... so be prepared for a less than western standard front of the house but the quality of the food more than makes up for it.
- Luke AndrewsJuly 7, 2013Wonderful Asian-Mediterranean food — everything we tasted was fresh and delightful. Ravioli and fig nan was a highlight. Pity about the surly, indifferent service.
Michael AlbaMay 25, 2015Garlic masala dosa was superb. Kadir asparagus was really flavorful. Jalapeno pakoras were great. All around fantastic food.
Jon BillsJanuary 6, 2016Nice selection of vegetarian/Asian food. The service was a little surely and the rice was cold, but it's a lovely dining room.
Martin HeckoSeptember 1, 2013The Tahu Java is simply divine. Have the caramel shake with it. The rose water flavor complements the whole meal.
Chris MessinaJuly 4, 2018Large portions but several of the dishes were too sweet and didn't quite have the right *zing* you'd want in this genre of food.
VegNews MagazineSeptember 28, 2012Oh, mango almond curry (complete with fresh mango and fried plantains) and stuffed flatbreads, will you marry me?
Danielle NeufeldJanuary 31, 2013Delicious food but avoid at all costs on crowded weekends. As people dining here increases service rapidly decreases. Very typical that they forget multiple dishes you order unless the place is empty.
Abhishek TiwariApril 11, 2011Ask for Raj and request dinner family style. Cannot find a better vegetarian option than this.
Kara McCainApril 4, 2010Try the Baked Vegetable Ravioli and one of the specialty drinks on the back of the menu
