First time trying this. Walking in you have a choice of the kiosk or you can order at the counter. After that, just wait until your name is called to get your food. Food was delicious!

Staff are friendly and good is great! The sip club which allows you free coffee and refillable charged lemonade is great! I like using the app to get my food! I got the Tikka Masala Soup and it's spicy but just right. 👍

I got the toasted Italian, and I'd highly recommend it. The guy at the counter was as friendly and helpful as can be. The only thing I would change is for them to stock some jalapenos or similar. This was my first...Read More

They have a very nice manager, a latin younger guy. He is always polite and smiling. I have noticed how hard he works. Also, the staff is polite and always working/keeping the place clean.
