Lively Indian spot with some creative twists and generous portions; strong praise for naan and tandoori, but service inconsistency and occasional overcharging disputes warrant caution.
Restaurant Summary
Inside this DTLA-adjacent spot, the room feels warm and bustling with clean, beachy touches and friendly greetings. Guests describe naan arriving hot and blistered, and one diner noted, "the tandoori chicken was the best I have had in a while." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. The cooking leans classic North Indian with a few playful detours—think frankie wraps, tikka "takkos," and a strong hand with the tandoor. It is comfort-forward Indian rather than chefly theatrics, with generous portions and spice levels tailored to preference. Most wins center on breads, tandoori, and tomato-cream curries, though a few chaat items and delivery orders can be hit-or-miss. Families report easy seating and kind service with little ones, and the menu offers kid-friendly staples like garlic naan, butter chicken, and mild dals. Fusion sides and pizza-style items also help cautious eaters, though heat can creep up on "medium"—ask for mild if needed.
