“ Seriously, the best Indian food in Cleveland!!! We will be back ASAP. The momos will never leave my heart… regardless of how fast they left my plate. ”
“ I had just returned from traveling in India, so my expectations were high, and I was pleasantly surprised at how authentic this restaurant felt from the moment I sat down. The flavors brought me right back—everything from the rich pioneer to the hearty masala and the comforting doll carried that depth and balance I had been missing. The chutneys were another highlight, full of freshness and spice, and they reminded me of the meals I enjoyed while abroad. It is not often that you find food that can so clearly transport you, but this experience did exactly that. Beyond the food, the staff played a big part in making the visit so enjoyable. They were warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being overbearing. The atmosphere was inviting, with a calm energy that let you truly focus on the flavors and enjoy the meal at an easy pace. Overall, I left feeling genuinely happy, not only because the food was satisfying but also because it captured the essence of what I had just experienced in India. For anyone who appreciates authentic flavor and friendly service, this place is absolutely worth a visit. ”
