I’d never been there and was blown away by the food! It was so delicious…all the dishes we ordered. My friend is vegetarian and there are endless choices. We ate outside so I couldn’t really address the “noise” rating adequately

Our go-to Indian restaurant in Bernal Heights. Excellent veg options including tandoori vegetables, paneer tikka masala and channa masala. The brown rice is also quite good! The atmosphere isn't anything special, but the food and service are the real reasons to come here.
