Worthy Picks
7.8
A budget-anchored Indian kitchen on Vine Street that treats tikka masala and saag as repeatable staples rather than afterthoughts, with a vegan-friendly lineup deep enough to keep the whole table covered. The quiet dining room and low price point make it a practical default for families and group dinners in a corridor where both are hard to find. Expect well-drilled classics at neighborhood prices — not fireworks, but the kind of place you stop second-guessing and just order from.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag, Rice Pudding
What Makes it Special: Budget-friendly Indian staple on Vine Street known for consistently executed classics and a strong vegan-friendly menu
