Gluten free girl back here to tell you about an incredible spot for all foods accommodations if you want something delicious, filling, and an overall delight. I stopped in to grab some bites and appetizers while walking on Franklin street. I had no clue I would find one of my new favorite spots! I ordered the crispy plain dosa which came with a coriander, coconut, tomato sauce, and a soup. I had no clue how big it was until I’m arrived at the table. Thinking I would in no way finish it I was quickly surprised at how light and satisfying this meal was! Except for a few crumbs, I demolished the crispy dosa. The texture and flavor was unlike anything I’ve ever had and the type of bready but crispy flavor I have not been able to have because of my gluten food allergies. The fritters were also

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Anil Kapilavai · Jan 2026

Ordered all vegetarian food. Masala dosa, plain dosa, spring dosa, malai kofta, butter naan, South Indian porotta, and some korma. The koftas were as solid as rocks. The dish was pretty darn salty. The potato subji in the masala dosa was not freshly made and was smelling. Most of us didn’t finish our meal. This restaurant used to be so good in the past but not anymore. That explains why there was no one else in the restaurant other than just 6 of us. Worth noting that the wait staff was very friendly.

Absolutely one of the best Indian places around. The chicken tikka masala is really incredible, but THIS: we tried a new thing tonight called Masala navratan tartlets were absolutely unbelievable. It is this light flaky pastry bite filled with well flavored vegetables alongside dipping sauces. It is an absolute must to try. And they have a massive outdoor covered seating area, alongside an uncovered outdoor eating area. The atmosphere and food all around make for an excellent place without doubt.
