Read moreI’m obsessed. I have gone here every day for the last 3 days and love it. The Dhokla is so light, zesty, sweet and savory. It’s like a cake with a simple syrup absorbed into it made with different spices and seasonings. The Dosa is very light, some parts crunchy and other parts soft and pliable. Filled with potatoes, served with a kind of soup next to it to dip into or taste as you eat. I like trying something a little different each day and have never been disappointed. I used to come here every day when I worked in Brookfield but haven’t been back until a recent position change and my goodness I missed it.

Read moreWowwwwww. I have no words to describe how perfect this was for my meal today. Fresh, hot, authentic and not over spiced. One of my biggest pet peeves about Indian restaurants is how much they try to shortcut authentic spices with the overpowering of garam masala, cayenne, salt or curry powder.

The proper amount of heat, sodium and seasoning. Nothing tasted like it was reheated from frozen it tasted like it was slow cooked and made with love.
Not exaggerating when I say this, this is THE BEST Idli, Sambhar, Coconut chutney I've had in America and Canada. The idlis are HUGE and the coconut chutney is not watered down. The Sambhar has actual green drumsticks that are properly cleaned and cut to size which also has good body to it.
P. S. They serve halal!!
Super impressed by this hidden gem...
