Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Good for what it is. This is not a “dining experience”. It’s food fast because you’re on the road and hungry. It is authentic, and packaged Indian foods are also available. People complained about the lady behind the counter. From whan I can gather, she doesn’t speak English. I don’t know what people expect from what we would consider a drive-in restaurant."
"Roadside truck stop & store... the gem is the great Indian food hot bar!!"
"Fast service - the food is already ready and served from behind the counter. The mini mart has a wonderful aroma of Indian spices and herbs. Food - tasty for sure. I had the goat curry, paneer, and black beans. The spice on the paneer was a little too hot for me but the hubs enjoyed it. I ordered a plate which included a large serving of rice plus two other items. We additionally added 2 veggie samosas. This was plenty of food for the both of us, plus enough for leftovers. I'd have given a 5 of I could have control the spice level on the paneer. Total was $21, not bad considering we will end of with three meals. Atmosphere - considering its a gas station mini mart there's only so much that can be done, but it was clean and tidy. A nice touch is that the ceiling is painted to look like the sky."
"Awesome service and delicious food by the chef Daljeet Singh ji … Thank you for serving this taste food . Love it ."
"This place as transformed a lot. They serve dine-in and to-go in same deep bowls. 2 veggie combo gets your dhal, channa, saag, mattar (any 2) + 3 rotis. Mix and non veg combo also available... Rotis only $0.99 per piece. Best feast in the desert.... Stop here and surprise yourself with a hearty meal... Also, fried chicken available for the skeptics..."
"First time here and I am not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I just had the aloo (potato) parantha with indian tea. Parantha was good size and the tea was good. It's a new upcoming place, so like with all new businesses let's give them a chance. They have a small amount of various indian snacks. Employees were respectful. There is seating inside, if you want to sit inside and eat. Will try them again in the future."
"I find this food spot fine. You are getting desi food in the middle of nowhere. Be thankful"
"Stopped on the way to my destination and had to stop on the way back home because it was so good. 100 percent authentic, the food is well seasoned and the prices and portions are great and the chef is so nice. Would make the five hour trip from home for this spot. Be adventurous and give it a try!"
