I’m a picky eater but this place make you very comfortable. When you see them prepare your food they’re so o clean They keep changing their gloves and they never touch anything else while they’re preparing your food and the food taste so good.

First time ever ordering here and when you walk in all you smell is fresh fire roasted veggies, handmade fresh and hot Naan, and people who care and take pride in the ingredients and flavors. I ordered the platter for 3, and it was phenomenal!
