“ Family run restaurant with a couple tables and lots of people coming by for takeout orders. This spot has had many immigrant owned restaurants with mostly traditional foods. We started with samosas and mango lassi. The samosa was perfectly flaky, packed full of of potatoes and pea filling, and not greasy. The accompanying sweet and spicy sauces were nice along with the complimentary papadam. Our main dishes were coconut curry chicken with rice and lamb briyani. The coconut curry chicken was not spicy and perfect for our daughter to eat with the freshly made buttered naan. We enjoyed the spicy lamb briyani, which was the right level to enjoy the flavor of the rice and meat. We had this along with garlic naan. Very filling meal for a reasonable price. Friendly staff who got the food out hot and and in a timely manner. ”
“ It's just really, really good. Chicken saag is my go-to. The extra spice dusting on the samosas reads a little more salty/sour than I would prefer, but it doesn't stop me from ordering them because the beautiful sauces help balance it out. Naan is perfect. Achar is delicious on any variety of momos. And the hot garlic chicken chili makes an amazing shared plate for multiple people when there's drinking going on. My favorite Indian restaurant is far away back in Texas, but this place, with a Nepali flair, makes me feel at home. ”
“ Best Indian/Nepali food I’ve had in a long time and definitely the best I’ve had in Vermont. We had the chicken momos, veggie chow mein, Aloo Tikki Chaat, and Paneer curry. Everything was fresh and delicious. Generous portions. The aloo tikki chaat was particularly delicious with spiced yogurt and fried potato bits, creamy chick peas-mmmmm. The rice was fluffy and lightly spiced with cardamom. We ate there and it was lovely, looks like they are doing a lot of takeout too. The family running the place are very friendly, we had great service. Go! What a treat! ”
“ Favorite Winooski take-out, hands down! I can only afford to pick up food about once a month, and this is what I almost always want. Freshly made, filling, nourishing comfort food. Often shockingly fast (it's so delightful to have takeout that tastes like it literally just was made minutes ago because it was). Perfect whether I've had a (very good or very bad) long day. Personal favorite is the paneer curry. This is my family's go-to place if we order together for a celebratory dinner. Excellent place to try a few things and share. Nobody has to cook but everyone can find things they love on the table, even if they had no say in making the order. Between six adults and two kids (all vegetarian) we can cover a table with options and everyone ends up happy and full with nobody foraging in the kitchen later. One of the kiddos requested it for their birthday dinner last year, so that speaks for itself! I have a local business up the street and send clients here all the time. I'll leave you with this: In a perfect world, I'd drink their mango lassi every single day for the rest of my life. ”
“ The excellent Indian food. We had the coconut curry lamb, chicken sagg, potato sagg, and garlic nan. Everything was flavourful, delicious and served hot. Service was good. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and responsive. The atmosphere needs a lot of work, but people don’t come here for the decor. ”
“ Their chicken tikki masala is by far the best thing I have ever eaten in my entire life. I could’ve never dreamed of food that tastes this good. This was life changing. Nothing in life will ever compare to their chicken tikki masala. ”
“ This place is amazing! Loved the Chicken Thupka - it was out of this world. The momos were also amazing. I wish we lived closer - I’d order all the time!! ”
“ I LOVE this restaurant. I probably get takeout from here twice a month. We have tried and loved: veggie curry, tandoori chicken, chana saag, chana masala, paneer saag, butter chicken, aloo gobi, aloo paratha, momos, garlic naan - all delicious and flavorful! We have gotten both mild and medium spicy depending on how we're feeling - so good. ”
