AI-generated summary
A downtown standby for people who have been ordering from it for ten years or more, mostly takeout. The owner runs a catering business, so regulars say it's very consistent and the portions are big. It costs less than Tamarind but more than most neighborhood Indian spots.
“they are the absolute best at a solid takeout meal because the owner is a caterer. They do hundreds of weddings a year and are extremely consistent. I’ve catered small parties from them so many times at the cost of a Costco grocery trip. Food is fantastic and often customizable too.”
