This place is incredibly popular and is my go-to samosa catering option for large parties. And if you have guests that are gluten-intolerant, go with a couple pounds of the pakoras (chick pea batter, onion, veg fritters).

Very reasonably priced considering the location, adding to its popularity. Most lunch entree items are around…

The takeout containers are a great size and yes, get people excited about the food as the meals…

Decor – you step in and it looks like an upscale Earls, defying any preconceptions I may have had. (Great for a date!). People – Don’t…
