Low quality Quantity is so low that either you have order another dish or have to go empty stomach Lack of Indian Taste - We tried 6-7 dishes. 1. Masala Dosa was smelling like Prantha. Not at all crispy. Instead of Masala in it, it was Aaloo sabji :-(. No Coco chutney. 2. Vada Pao - The Pao is the Sub bread from Subway :-( 3. Mutter Paneer was with Sugar added :-( Horrible taste. I thin the Gravy was of Shahi Paneer. 4. If you order Veg Briyani - you have to buy Yougurt separately. Does not comes free. Try it - a small portion will cost you $3. 5. Can't explain more ...just NOT RECOMMENDED And finally the total we pay was about $25 per person. Again - do not go there. It is just a waste.

Very expensive for mediocre fare. They will charge you for additions to your meal (like sauces and condiments) so be careful with their suggestions. The service is awful. We've been there five or six times because we enjoy some of the Indian dishes that are served, but each time we end up wondering why we're there. We are by no means cheap- my husband and I are willing to pay for healthy and quality food, but the bill at this place ends up being beyond ridiculous.

The food here is really fresh and delicious! The high price prevents me from frequenting it.

This is a Lacto-vegitarian restaurant.
Food: Below average. We tried 2 items. Indian Bada-pav(meatless stew) and Meatless Lasagna. You can get much better Bada-pav in many other restaurants nearby. Eg: Milan Chat. Meatless Lasagna was a very dull imitation of the meatful one and without any tomato-based sause.
Price: This is very expensive restaurant. For those 2 entries and 2 drinks, it costed me $30(excluding tip). It is atleast 50% more priced than those in the same market segment.
Service: Stingy. For lasagna, the waitress (also the owner) suggested a sause. Eventhough we told we prefer only medium spicy, the sause was very hot, and she charged $1 for a teaspoon of that. So be careful with their suggestions.

I absolutely love this restaurant. You just can't go wrong with a 26 page menu. They have vegetarian versions of just about every cuisine: Italian, Middle Eastern, American, Mexican, Indian (North and South). The best part about their menu is that they can use their meatless stew Pav Bhaji in anything, tacos, pizza, nachos, etc. Their softees for dessert are wonderful, just like fruit soft-serve ice cream and completely vegan! They also have a huge selection of fresh juices.
After raving about their food, it is only fair to detail their somewhat negative qualities. The dishes can be a little pricey for the amount of food you receive. Portions are not always filling for the voracious American appetite (saves room for dessert, though). The service can also be a bit slow. This is easily explained, though, because they are completely family-run and they only have one daughter waitressing most of the time.
Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. The food is outstanding and always fresh. The family is very friendly and will answer any questions about their voluminous menu. I eat there as often as I can and probably more than I should!
