When to visit: After 9pm for shorter lines
What to order: Chicken karahi; seekh kebab; garlic naan

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking; metered spots can open up after 7pm but may be scarce on weekends.
Dress code: Casual—jeans, hoodies, and sneakers are perfectly fine.
Noise level: Moderate buzz from the open kitchen; still possible to hold a conversation without shouting.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes during peak late-night rush
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait—food comes out quickly
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several curries, lentil dishes, and vegetable sides.
Vegan options: Limited—chana masala and a few vegetable curries without cream or ghee.
Gluten-free options: Not guaranteed—tandoori meats are generally safe, but naan and many curries use gluten thickeners.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—the setting is counter-style and very casual. Better suited for a quick meal than a romantic evening.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations aren’t taken. Seating is counter-based and tables turn quickly, especially late at night.
Is it kid-friendly? Basic seating and limited space make it more of an adult stop, though older kids who enjoy bold flavors can fit in. No high chairs or kids’ menu.
Best For
Better for: Late-night utility dining with generous portions and authentic karahis at very low prices.
Skip if: You’re looking for a polished dining room, quiet ambiance, or a broad vegetarian/vegan selection.
