Delicious food and family run. Nice atmosphere inside. We are quite picky about Indian food and this is more like what we find in the middle east. Full flavors and good use of spice! An easy restaurant to experiment and try something new as all their meals are amazing

Open early from 8am and they have vegan salads, wraps and soups. Don't go too late in the afternoon or maybe no vegan wraps left. If not vegan plenty other options also! Really nice outdoor area in the back.
