Amazing Indian enhanced halal food and amazing personality from the woman who owns the place. Five stars. The gyro meat here is unlike any other halal place I've been to, best described as moist and loose (more surface area for delicious sauce.) I can definitely recommend the combo over salad with White, green, and (for extra heat you can request) Indian Chilli peppers! A side of the delicious garlic naan, and for a bonus treat the Saffron Drink, which is a creamy custard like flavor Lassi drink with chunks of nuts in the drink. (It's also not as sugary tasting as the mango lassi so it feels a little healthier) That Mantoo dumplings are also amazing. If your new, make sure to ask for the free samples. Ps, they also have tons of ice cream popsicles and dots flavors.

I found this place on a whim and it's become my regular go-to spot. The food is delicious, the price is correct, and the service is excellent. The staff is so incredibly warm and friendly. The lady who runs the place couldn't be sweeter. She always remembers me and offers samples of things she thinks I'd like, and she's always correct! I would have gone back there just to support her business, but the food is also legitimately delicious so it's a win-win. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.

Megan was very helpful from the moment I introduced myself, she gave me multiple samples which were genuinely delicious, she then mentioned how she cooks everything in house and it’s made fresh to my order (which was refreshing) she also gave me a free desert with my meal, I got the chicken over rice which came with a salad (pretty standard) the chicken was tender (I wish it was a little spicier) and the rice was soft, the vegetables were fresh. The atmosphere felt homey yet foreign which is what I look for when I want halal. For a place that has been open for 6 months it still looks brand new and I was impressed with how fast I got my food. I will definitely be going back especially for fresh cooked meal you can’t be that price.

Megan the owner is an absolute sweetheart. The second you walk in she is so welcoming. I was nervous and she asked me if it was my first time and gave me a free sample to try and I LOVED IT. So pure and healthy too! Definitely coming back here.

Stopped here unexpectedly and had the most amazing lunch. The owner and chef were so sweet and gave us a bunch of samples to try before we ordered. We ended up ordering the chicken over rice with white sauce and falafel in gyro, along with a saffron drink and a mango lassi. Five stars. Definitely come check this place out so it can flourish!

Owner Megan was very welcoming. Asked if it was my first time and presented samples of the Mango Lassi and Butter Chicken. Both were DELISH! Someone came in after me as a repeating customer, she asked what he’s had already and offered him a sample of something new to try. Got the combo over rice. Decent servings. Prices match the local spots .Food is fresh. Place is clean. Will defintely come back.
