- foodMy experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I tried the veggie burger and the aloo paratha, and both were absolutely delicious and tasted incredibly authentic. The veggie burger was remarkably similar to McDonald's Aloo Tikki, and the aloo paratha brought back fond memories of a classic Punjabi dhaba.

- aloo tikki burgerThe omelette burger and aloo tikki burger will take you back home.

- veggie burgerveggie burger and aloo paratha—both were absolutely delicious
- Indian style burgersAbsolutely delicious! Original Indian style burgers.
- Masala FriesI opted for the medium spice level, which I highly recommend; it offered a great amount of heat that was flavorful without overpowering the dish. The fries were good with the masala spices, though I personally prefer homemade fries and these didn't seem to be. Nevertheless, for vegetarians and pescatarians, the veggie burger is top notch – so good I ate it all before I could snap a photo!
- Vada PavThe Vada Pav was also really good and reminded us of classic Mumbai flavors.

Consistent and Delicious Food for Years
We have been coming to this place for years. Whenever we have friends visiting from Bellevue or host get-togethers, we always get their samosas, veggie burgers, and vada pau. Everyone loves it!
The food is consistently good, and the service and atmosphere are both rated a perfect 5. It's a great spot with plenty of free parking and a very quiet indoor dining area, making it highly recommended for vegetarians with a large selection available.

Disappointing Cheese Switch on Paneer Burger
My experience at this restaurant used to be amazing, especially with their paneer burger. It was so good that I would have happily become vegetarian just to eat it daily. However, they recently switched the cheese to a low-quality American cheese, which is not even real cheese.
This change has significantly affected the burger's taste, and I'm really disappointed. I urge them to bring back the original recipe. Serving quality food is crucial; it's what keeps customers returning!
Please, please do!
