First time trying vada pav and samosa pav. The pav/bread was so soft and buttery. In one bite, you experience the softness of the bread, the crunchiness of the samosa skin, and the smoothness of the spiced potato filling. The bread was spread with cilantro chutney and chili powder, adding an extra layer of freshness and heat.Paneer tikka roll. Perfect for snacking or a quick lunch! The grilled paneer cheese was milky and creamy!Lamb korma box. The korma was rich and nutty. The lamb was so tender it yielded to a fork’s touch. A whole box contains one main entree, yellow dal, rice, paratha, onion salad... so filling!Chicken biryani. The chicken was juicy, and the whole dish was really well-spiced. Fiery, savory, tangy, sweet... very addictive.Mango lassi. Creamy, silky, and rich in mango flavor. A good companion to spicy Indian food!

I was excited to try the Vada Pav and it looked decent when it arrived. I asked for tamarind chutney and they said that's a $2 extra charge. How does that compute? It's a basic condiment that's eaten with Vada Pav. Equivalent to a French fry place charging for ketchup. The pav was the Honest brand Pav which is shelf stable and drier to begin with, the Vada was super small relative to the Pav, and the lack of chutney made it a depressing experience.Make it make sense, please.

3/5: Takeout-level food at near full restaurant-level pricesPaid $15 for a Pav Bhaji. It was good but not out of this world and was served on a cardboard plate despite dining inside. Really?The whole restaurant is solid, don’t get me wrong, but for the price you end up paying, you can pay just a tad bit more and go to comparable Indian options even in the area and find similar or better food with nicer atmospheres, proper plates, full service, etc.Meanwhile, this place feels like one of those takeout places that happens to have a couple seats inside for the rare customer here or there who actually wants to eat inside. Kinda like a lot of takeout Chinese restaurants.Overall, food’s not bad and can hit the spot, but your money can be better spent elsewhere.

When they say "Very Spicy" on the Glass Window. You've been warned. Whatever happens afterwards is no one's fault....The moment you step in here, you can feel the sting of the spice. You come here to feel the burn from your mouth, down the esophagus and into your stomach.

Ordered papdi chaat- the order came without chutney, and there’s zero (or minute amounts) included in the order. This is like delivering french fries without ketchup. I called to ask about the chutney and was gaslit into nearly believing it’s already mixed in, also that they can’t deliver a different order or more chutney because “delivery partners” handle delivery and they have no staff for it. I asked if they could possibly summon their own partner to deliver the missing ingredients but they insisted no. The abysmal customer service by no means makes up for painfully mediocre Indian cooking (soft paapdi, flavorless sev, generally very acidic necessitating Tums, etc). So many better options- as a longtime Village resident and Indian cuisine super fan- I recommend Ghandi Cafe across the street instead.

When I am craving Indian street food this is the place I go every time. The pav bhaji hits the spot - it’s the closest I’ve had to the india classic. Their kati rolls are a great snack and comes with green chutney. There’s just enough room to sit with a few friends and eat. It’s a quick spot, it’s always good, and it’s open late. Truly an excellent place.

This Indian spot is a flavor party! They customize the spice just for you, so it's never too much. The staff is super chill, and the vibes are just right. Don't miss out – it's a tasty adventure!
