Came for lunch, me and the wife. It's truly a hole in the wall (think convenience store with a small grill and 5 tables), with 6 employees to 2 diners (us). You order at the counter, and it is served to you on styrofoam plates and cups, with plastic forks.
The great: Vegetable Somosas were some of best we've had, anywhere. 2 for $4.
The okay: Entrees. Tried a veggie curry and a lamb dish. Veggie better. Lamb was very fatty and who knows when cooked (clearly not that day). Still tasty and very rich sauce that was filling. Imagine a side salad bowl filled with your entree. They also serve you a styrofoam plate of rice to put it over. For $7-9 each, this seemed overpriced.
The terrible: Naan/breads. First they are kinda expensive ($2 for a small 7" round piece). But worse, they PREMADE. Like not by the restaurant (pulled out of plastic bag). The piece we got tasted like it had turned/was old. We spit out our one bite and left it untouched (this never, ever happens with us... it's like raptors feeding normally).
Everyone is very friendly though. And it's one of those places that you therefore really wanted to love.
Verdict / Tips: TAKEOUT. Seriously. And whatever you do don't get the bread. I would seriously consider 4 somosas (2 orders), plus 1 entree, and share between two people for lunch or lighter dinner.
I work a few blocks away. I'm really not sure I will be back, but if I did I would order just samosas and veggie dishes for takeout only.
