• The Pakistani and Indian "street food" is delicious, carefully prepared, and a great value. Samosas, pakoras, roti, and skunj-vi are standouts. – The Cooper-Allens, Urbanspoon
• Thumbs up for being vegetarian AND vegan friendly! Their menu has vegan dishes already marked, so you don't have to ask for omissions or substitutions. – Erica J., Yelp
