Vibe: Comfort in simplicity

The vibe at the restaurant resonates with cleanliness and brightness. Costs not justified by the ambiance, however, is a solvable puzzle. With a tad creative juice, this neutral backdrop can accentuate the star of the show - the food, thus carving an authentic Indian vibe.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Clean and bright, but ambiance doesn't justify the cost of food.

Perks: Parking - boon or bane?

Parking could test your skills, given its small-plaza location. But the hurdle of crowded parking gives way to a noise-friendly atmosphere for intimate conversations. Service varies, sometimes slow, but complemented by friendly staff. Don't expect a big-group party scene, instead enjoy the diet-friendly options amidst peaceful chatters.

  • Easy To Hear

    Quiet atmosphere conducive for conversations; intimate and peaceful.

  • Okay Service

    While service can be slow, staff friendliness often compensates for delays.

  • Bad For Groups

    Short staff or overcommitting leads to long waits for group dining.
