A very new 30th Ave entrant that’s earning early momentum for straightforward, value-leaning Indian comfort. Treat it like a takeout-and-casual stop—one creamy vegetarian main plus one popular chicken curry—and you’ll get the cleanest read on what they do best as the kitchen settles in.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only along 30th Ave; usually manageable on weeknights, tighter on weekends.
Dress code: Very casual — jeans, sneakers, and everyday wear are standard.
Noise level: Low to moderate — mostly takeout traffic with brief dine-in turnover.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes at peak times; often faster for takeout
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several clearly vegetarian mains and starters, including creamy paneer and kofta dishes.
Vegan options: Limited — some lentil- and vegetable-based dishes can work, but confirm dairy use when ordering.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free curries and rice dishes available; cross-contact is possible in a small kitchen.
Best For
Better for: Affordable Indian comfort, quick service, and sampling both vegetarian and chicken curries without committing to a full sit-down experience.
Skip if: You want polished service, a longer dining experience, or a destination-style Indian meal — nearby established spots offer a more refined night-out feel.
