Description
The menu features soft parathas, savory rolls, and saag paneer. Portions are generous—the paneer tikka masala is easily large enough to share between two or three people. You can wash it down with a mango lassi or Indian sodas like Thumbs Up and Limca. Beyond the hot food, the space functions as a corner shop, featuring shelves stocked with Indian snacks, spices, and groceries. It is a straightforward, clean spot with quick service and background music, making it as much a quick pantry run as a sit-down meal.
