We came here on a Saturday for lunch got mango lassi, saffron lassi, chicken shwarma wrap, halwa puri, and honey cake.
My partner said the halwa puri made him feel nostalgia of the sweet breakfasts his abuelita would make him before school. It was definitely the best item we tried—it was sweet, crispy, and savory.. perfectly balanced.
Everything else was delicious and exactly what we expected. The restaurant has a small, homey feel, you could come sit and eat or grab a coffee and sit at the counter by the window.

We were looking for a quick bite and ended up here. Restaurant is owned by a Hyderabadi couple and their nephew works as the server/front desk. We ordered a cheese burger and a Mediterranean chicken sandwich. Burger didn’t have much taste and pita on the chicken sandwich was not warm. Service was good. Prices are reasonable.
Restaurant serves zabihah Halal. Confirmed by the server.

The food here is unbelievably good. Seasoned to perfection and cooked to desired. Service is attentive, caring, and highly personable. Atmosphere is bright and light in energy.
The falafel here is also mouthwatering. You will not regret getting it.
I’m actually looking forward to coming back.

I ordered the chicken shawarma with yellow rice, and it was very disappointing. The chicken was cold and completely lacked flavor. Honestly, there was no taste at all.
The portion of salad was almost nonexistent, and overall the plate felt poorly prepared. For the price, this was not worth it—Chipotle offers better quality and taste for less money, which says a lot.
This was my first visit and will definitely be my last. I won’t be coming back.

I’m so glad I decided to venture away from my standard order of butter chicken today. This place is Mediterranean and Indian food. I just asked what was in the kushari plate and since it sounded really good, that’s what I ordered, with chicken. It’s the 1st time I had it and really enjoyed it. May try beef next time. It was a large portion so I had leftovers. I thought it was worth the $15.99 (as I will eat it twice and was packed with ingredients – hummus plus actual chickpeas and lentils, in Addition to chicken topper with crispy onion) good flavors.
Staff were very attentive and friendly as well. Will definitely be back!

Yum! I absolutely loved the Kushari and the Msakhan chicken sandwich and even the falafels. So good. The Tamarind lemonade is a must try. So fresh and tangy. I want to go back and try everything else they have on the menu. I would also like to thank our host for suggesting a dish that was less spicy for my friend with allergies.

My spouse and I had a wonderful experience here! Ordered the pani puri, stuffed grape leaves, and the msakhan chicken. Even got to try the masala chai which was great! We loved the food but somehow the service was even better! Will definitely be coming back. Oh and great atmosphere as well ❤️

My food traveled 15 minutes by car, so don’t let the picture trick you. This is easily one of the best meals I’ve eaten in a while and the portion size was massive…NO JOKE more flavor in the rice alone then probably anything you’ve eaten all month

I think the best part of this restaurant is the wifi is reliable. Server is nice but does not understand English well. Service time 20 min plus despite fe customers. Plastic utensils that server had to be reminded to give us. No water until 10 min later. Asked for hot water but given in plastic glass likely microwaved.
Ordered shakshuka but lnot flavorful. Sauce is obvious canned by taste, not in caste iron pan, quantity skimpy, and dish is not simmered. Lack of usual herbs and spice. Toast is so etching one can buy off supermarket.
Chicken 68 is just flat hot without any aromatics or any layer of flavor Over cooked chicken., hard to chew, like pieces of charred rubber.
Very ☹️

This place is so good the chicken shawarma plate I got served was awesome the owner Mohamed is such a a nice friendly guy with great customer service he cares about everyone that walks in that door and he made sure I left full and I felt so good after eating the food here there was a good portion of chicken and rice just wish it had a bit more veggies but it was still perfectly seasoned and we’ll portioned so that’s all that matters most I def will be back to try more food and teas they have its tucked in the neighborhood right before snelling too which gives it more of quant quiet relaxing vibe than snelling which can be chaos sometimes they also have seating facing selby Ave as well one of my fav streets in St Paul!
