I ducked into this stunning cafe on a blazing hot day and was pleasantly surprised by the cozy, colorful interiors, welcoming music, and familiar food made with great care. Get their aam panna, perfect for this weather; pani puris crackled with the right mix of flavors. So much more to discover here. Hope to be back soon.

Delicious food, great service, adorable back patio. Especially loved the cardamom chai and butter chicken.

The butter chicken sandwich was perfection. Also, do yourself a favor and make sure to finish your meal with a cup of chai.

This is finally the neighborhood spot that I have always been looking for. There is no Indian restaurant like this in NYC. It has all of the fun Indian snacks that I crave. The owners are extremely lovely and warm and make it quite the experience. I highly recommend the chai, Pani puri, and the masala omelette.

One of my favorite new spots in the neighborhood. Great chai and food!

Delicious “clean” Indian food with some of the same flavor profiles as traditional American Indian food but also with more variety and complicated taste profiles. Great addition to the neighborhood!

Simply delicious. Thoughtfully curated menu and wine list. A great intimate setting and the friendliest staff.

This food is off the charts—I haven’t tasted Indian home cooking like this in ages! Everything’s insanely fresh! Just look for the upside-down colorful umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and sprint to the counter like your taste buds depend on it!

The best (and most meaningful) meal of my life. Yes, I said it!! Shalini, Kathleen, Ireland, James, and the entire team at Tera Mera put together an intimate backyard engagement dinner for my fiancée and I as well as our families. From start to finish, it was incredible. If you want food that is cooked with care and LOVE — the kind you can taste in every dish — I cannot recommend this place enough. Talk to them about private events too! We are so, so happy Tera Mera is part of the neighborhood

I ordered chicken masala with half rice and salad and cauliflower as a vegetable. It was really good and the food is fresh. I forgot to take a pic before I started eating. 😋

Wonderful first visit to Tera Mera! Had the momos, omelette roti, and chai. It was all delicious and the outside seating area was charming and chill. Great spot to have a conversation and enjoy a bite. The service was A+. Excited to return soon!

Delicious! Authentic Indian food. I tried the basmati rice with the salad, and cauliflower with pickled onions and garam masala. The ball is fairly big for a single meal, and reasonably priced. Service is super quick.

5 starts all around for Tera Mera. The staff always goes out their way to create a great experience whenever we have gone. I am just waiting for them to go NYT Best list soon.

Fantastic all around. Every dish was better than the next. And the ambiance and service are top notch.

Fire as hell!!!!!! I’m Indian and Indian food in Brooklyn is not it. I’ve prolly wasted so much money on trying different spots to be dissapointed every single time. But this is good!!! A unique twist on flavors for sure and the moment I ate the dal & the spinach I knew a real Indian made it lmfao. Please support!!!!!! I’ll be back!

Gorgeous and delicious! Such a treat to have in the neighborhood. I highly recommend the masala chai it’s perfect and real deal.

Exceptional food and wine list, with the most gracious host. A gem! We will be back

Incredible little spot on court street! Love the Dahi Puri and the wines are all fantastic. Great backyard too!!

Such a great spot and a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! The food is absolutely delicious and they have a nice selection of Indian groceries. The backyard is lovely as well as the service and the overall vibe. I can’t wait to go back to try more (especially the chai)!

I stumbled upon Tera Mera in Brooklyn not expecting much, but was so happily surprised by its cozy, homey vibe and real Bombay flavors. It’s genuinely hard to find authentic Bombay-style food in the city, so I’m really glad I found this gem. I ordered the butter chicken, veggie toastie and aam panna. One bite of the toastie actually brought tears to my eyes…it tasted just like the street-style sandwiches from Bombay. The aam panna was refreshing and perfect. The owner was also incredibly sweet. She brought me pani puri because, honestly, no trip to Bombay is complete without it! I highly recommend this place if you’re craving real Bombay flavors and warm hospitality. I didn’t even get to take photos because I was too busy eating!!

very nice spot the food was good, the service wasn’t great though

Everything was awesome across the board. The decor is beautiful (only ate inside but the outside looks great as well). Love that the menu has smaller snack options, and the dishes we got were all excellent. The toastie, pani puri, and cooked vegetable rice dish were all super satisfying and refreshing. This place stands out to me over many of the other spots in the neighborhood and brings its own unique style to the table. Definitely planning to come back and try more.

We stopped by for a drink and had a great experience - the cocktails are incredible and very unique! We didn’t have time to try their food offerings this evening but it smelled amazing - we will be back next week for sure!

Just had a lovely lunch at Tera Mera in Brooklyn with my sons. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with such warmth. A big shoutout to Salini, the gracious owner and to Rohan - so friendly. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—Wishing the entire team at Tera Mera all the very best. Brooklyn is lucky to have you!

Really loved my visit here at Tera Mera. Even the name is very cute. My father and I came in and was gifted with a plate of Dahi puri which we didn’t even have to pay for and I felt that was very sweet. We then order the samosa that came with two and it was tasty. The samosa were shaped so cute too! Thank you Tera Mera for making my father and I have a very nice evening at your spot.

Walked past here to check out other places but ended up being drawn here. The decor is very bright and attractive. It was good to visualize the staff and owner making the dishes from scratch in their open kitchen. I was advised to try the butter chicken bowl for my first visit and it did not disappoint. The chicken was very flavor and tender. The portion was generous, ended up taking the rest home and having it for lunch the following day. Already bookmarked this place to try the lamb dishes (it looked so delicious) when i'm in the area again for the future

Amazing home style cooking. You must try the Sindhi machi (fish), butter chicken pav, and the paneer.

Great food ,Great customer service 👍 . The food here is so tasty and flavorful, love the salmon over rice. I highly recommend this dish. Also have more options 10/10 1 of my favorite places to eat.

I always get the butter chicken bowl & it’s consistent in flavor which is a plus for me, hence to why I keep coming back for more😋. Service is always fast too, owner is a nice lady :) i recommend this place!

This is some of the best food in the world. Fresh, beautiful, delicious and authentic. They offer a wonderful variety of options and all of the flavors compliment each other. The folks working there are the kindest and friendliest people and treat you like family, making sure your meal is perfection. Of all the great food in NYC - Taza Mkt shines brightest.

Small cute Indo-fusion restaurant near Park Slope, Brooklyn. Very friendly. Shalini presides. New pop-up breakfast cafe now under ROMEL.

Great new Indian spot on Court St. Had the pork vindaloo ciabatta and mint rose limeade which were wonderfully delicious! Authentic Indian spices/ingredients on sale as well!

Had a delicious meal here - the pan I purri samosa, palak burrata and the crab curry - yum! Delicious wines on the menu, friendly service and ambience. Will be back for sure!

Shalini has created a cozy space with excellent food and a loooovely backyard! It’s not her first rodeo, as they previously had a spot in industry city. This location is perfect and family friendly.

This is an amazing hidden gem in Cobble Hill. The food was amazing. It appealed to those of us in the group who love Indian food. But was also a bit of fusion for those unfamiliar with the cuisine. The wine list is excellent and pairs well. What really sets this apart is the staff. You feel like you are visiting family. Everybody is so warm and welcoming.

This is seriously legit Indian food. Amazing street food classics like Chili Cheese Toast, pani puri, dahi puri, butter chicken, pakoras. Phenomenal masala chai too. Beautiful backyard seating! I’ve lived in Brooklyn 25 years, this is by far my favorite Indian spot now.

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Truly unique menu, authentic home-cooked food, and an amazing addition to the Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens food scene. One of the best new restaurants in Brooklyn!

Only open for five days but already feels like a part of the neighborhood! The team was incredibly warm and welcoming. Not to mention the food, which was delicious - full of flavor and fresh. Don’t skip on the chili cheese toast or the pani puri. We ordered the paneer 65 special (spicy but mouth watering). We will be back when their dinner service starts.

It has only been recent since we started coming to Tera Mera, lets just say meeting Shalini is like coming home. Today we came in and Shalini asked if i ate goat, i say yes, next thing I know i see a bowl smelling heavenly coming towards us, shortly after, Shalini introduces the dish, what we were about to taste was Nihari… heavenly looking and equally fragrant goat Nihari on a bed of daal. One bite and I was transported to the royal streets of Lucknow, the meat was ever so supple. This is the perfect food for the winter, soulful, wholesome and hard to come by even in India!!! This is a must have when you come here. Tera Mera’s goat Nihari Is absolutely wow!!!

Good Indian food is layers of flavor- the complexity of spices and textures is vastly underrated and perfection is often harder to achieve (from what I have noticed in the US.) For me, heat is a must, but it has to be the kind that causes just a hint of sweat, and a pleasant warmth on the tongue and the back of the throat. There are so many options here, for veg, non-veg and spice level preferences - and based on what I chose, a pork vindaloo with saag over basmati, they are all going to be good. This chef is taking exceptional care to make sure the food is of a quality you won’t expect of takeout. The pork was tender, spicy but not extremely so, and perfectly seasoned; the saag, very well blended and light, I’ve never had it this way, but it was almost like a sauce/condiment here, I wish I had more to make a better assessment, but it was tasty. Rice was fluffy and warm, and the toppings- a thinly sliced cabbage slaw, and crunchy, juicy cucumbers, offered a cooling balance to the meal. I opted for Bengali pickles to carry the heat - delicious, and tamarind and cilantro chutney, which I could’ve used more of, but only to assess. This is the Indian place you should frequent if you want something truly tasty.

Adorable little place that serves some really interesting wine by the glass. The chai is delicious and the space is so cute and cozy, plus a great outdoor area.

Absolutely love this place! Everyone is so friendly and the food is chefs kiss! We had an assortment of light bites and everything was delicious!! Don’t sleep on the momo’s or the chili cheese toast!!! Perfect setting to catch up with a friend or do some work on your laptop.

Everything from the staff to the food was beyond amazing. The chef/owner was extremely generous and you can tell the food here is made fresh and from the heart. Will be returning and next time I’ll bring my friends and family!

DELICIOUS!! Home-cooked, flavorful Indian Cuisine!! From the owner to the staff, EVERYONE IS SO NICE!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to anyone looking for a TASTY, FILLING MEAL!! I had the Butter Chicken😋😋😋over rice with Chana Masala(Chickpeas), Roasted Broccoli and a Potato & Peas Samosa!! Looking forward to my next meal from there!! Also, if they have any Brownies... YOU MUST TRY THEM!! DELICIOUS & MOIST!😋 We were lucky to get one!!

Incredible Indian tapas style snack / wine bar with great vibe, service and FOOD. Also have a mini Indian grocery with amazing snacks.

Exceptional Indian food! The chicken was moist and tender, chick peas were creamy and flavorful, beets were cubed and tasty and the additional of sweet pickles were perfect topping! Special mention for the Masala Mac and Cheese which was exceptional! - it packs of nice warming sensation on the backend of ginger which is so unusual but oh so great! If you love heat and leave you must get it! It’s anything but ordinary

masala chai 10/10, best in the city, just like a cup from home. courtyard in the back is a perfect vibe.

We had the pani puri, dahi puri, palak burrata, mushrooms, butter chicken and chicken lollipops. The food was awesome and the service was exceptional. We had a lovely time, would highly recommend!

This place is an absolute gem! Build your own delectable bowl of Indian favorites? Yes please! The Punjabi butter chicken was flavorful and the saag paneer was well spiced. The pickled beets & sweet mango style chutney were wonderful additions to the bowl and made for a truly enjoyable meal. I also had the pleasure of trying the coconut channa masala which was incredible. Highly recommend Taza Mkt and will be back!

Love love love. The food and vibes and service are all spectacular. Everyone’s super sweet. The food feels like home with a lovely twist. The puchka is to die for. The Aam paana as well. I make sure I go here everyday when I’m in the city. - written by an Indian

Had SUCH an enjoyable experience here. Amazing flavors and such a cozy, homey feel. Craving this food, still 🤤 Also cool gift shops around to explore with uniquely designed goods and boutique plants

One of the best evenings we’ve had in a long time. The atmosphere, food, and team were just immaculate. I loved hearing about the owners story and vision with all of her mom’s cookbooks postered on the wall and even Lays Magic Masala chip packets available for offer. Id definitely recommend and love what’s being built here.

The owners are the BEST! So friendly and really care about the food they are making. It is such a great atmosphere here. Make sure to get the Chai and Samosas. New fav!!

Fully obsessed with this place! The best Indian food I’ve had outside of India. The chai sent me right back to being in India. Incredible flavors throughout the entire menu. Everyone is so kind and the vibes are perfect. I love looking at the old photos on the wall and enjoying the music. I’m recommending this spot to everyone ✨

We decided to check this spot out as it was new to the neighborhood (apparently day 2!!) and is in my opinion a very welcome addition. We tried a few of the items such as the masala chai, the Bombay toastie, and the samosa…they even brought out some vegetable kichidi for us. Everything was delicious. I’d say the chai was especially good and some of the best I’ve had in New York as I appreciated the spice and the use of jaggery as the sweetener. The owners were great to interact with and I can’t wait to see what they add to the menu.

On. Point. Good Indian food is rare in North America imo, this is beyond good and is amazing. The Khichri is perfect as if severed from an aunties kitchen, the pickle I will be asking for takeaway. Momo’s took me right back to Assam. A must visit restaurant.

Such a gorgeous new addition to cobble hill! The decor inside is so charming and thoughtful. The food and drinks are also delicious! Can’t wait to spend more time in the lush backyard this summer ☀️

I’ve been going to Tera Mera (Taza) for the past six years. It started when I smelt the aroma in Industry City in the food court. I was immediately hooked before I even tasted the food. The next best thing is not only the recipes, it’s the authenticity. The head chef is so sweet and I’m super grateful to have met someone like her. All staff were amazing as well. the combinations of her dishes are mouth watering! Having been a faithful customer since their first location and coming to the second location… to still have the same consistency, flavor, hospitality, and intention is one of a kind ❤️ Cheers to their future and current booking my next reservation!

Absolutely love Tera Mera! The food is packed with umami flavor, the service is amazing, and the whole place feels like eating at a cozy home. You can tell there’s real care in every detail. Definitely a must-try spot in Brooklyn!

Amazing food! And beautiful, beautiful ambiance with a cute little mini store on the side with great Indian food finds. Staff was also friendly. Vada pav - Great flavors, huge patty and appreciated it wasn’t super deep fried. Bread was soft and fluffy Chili cheese toast - can never go wrong with this, buttery and fluffy Bombay toastie - star of the show, a must try! Fantastic flavors

Today was my first time at Tera Mera but I can confidently say I’ll be back a million times ….the most authentic and home made flavors in every dish.. I can’t get begin to descrive how every bite brought back memories of Bombay. The decor is classy and elegant, staff is super friendly and the chef… sorry “cook” Shalini!!! She was the finishing touch on an outstanding experience … her warmth and banter made it such a personal and bonding with her over being Bombayites was special. Can’t wait to also visit when it’s warmer to enjoy the beautiful outdoor setup. My go to place for Indian food in the neighborhood. 10 stars all the way !!

This place has been on our list for a while. We finally had a chance to go for lunch. The food was excellent. We got the pani puri, the toasty and the dumplings. Lunch was counter service, but the food came out quickly and efficiently, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back for dinner!

6/5 stars for vibes. 4/5 stars for food. They have a lovely backyard area where they hosted a Diwali fair-type thing. So lovely. The decor is sooo vibey and homey. Also a good spot to find snacks / house warming gifts (upscale Indian snacks)

Both an excellent Indian goods shop and restaurant. We ordered the Butter Chicken Bowl and the Roti Omelette and enjoyed both and didn’t leave anything left on our plates. There’s enough room to bring a stroller in as well, but that might just be during quieter times of day.

I walked by and was attracted to the design and storefront. Came by a few weeks later, the staff and owner were super welcoming and you cant tell from the front but there’s a large beautiful backyard. I got the hibiscus tea (really tasty and refreshing and helps with the spiciness), pani puri (delicious and fun) and veggie momos which you could tell are fully homemade. Excited to come back and try other things including perhaps the yard.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A stunning new gem in Carroll Gardens! Tera Mera just opened a few days ago, and it’s already something truly special. The restaurant was started by two amazing women, and you can feel the love, care, and cultural depth in every detail—from the antique Indian dishes to the vibrant wallpaper and gorgeous backyard patio (which is a lush little dreamworld perfect for summer nights). The food is extraordinary. Every dish is made with clear intention and a deep understanding of Indian flavors. I had the spicy vegan cheese toast (a must-try!), the cauliflower salad (bright, bold, and perfectly balanced), and an incredible dark roast coffee that was smooth and strong. I’m vegan and was thrilled to find so many vegan options! The menu is thoughtful and unique—not your standard Indian fare—and everything is presented like a work of art. The space is intimate but not cramped, with a cozy, inviting vibe. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they’re creating here. Highly recommend getting in now before it blows up—this is the kind of spot that’s going to be packed once the secret’s out. A soulful, flavor-filled experience from start to finish.

I discovered this cafe on a Sunday late afternoon. The café is cozy but still has a welcoming vibe — the staff are super friendly and easy to chat with. I enjoyed the Raw veggies salad and Pork Vindaloo Sandwitch.

I was excited to try this spot and although my experience started off rocky, it quickly turned into one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in New York. When I first sat down, I felt overlooked as a solo diner and was on my way storming out but before I walked out, I spoke with the owner. She couldn’t have been kinder. She apologized sincerely, made sure I felt welcome, and insisted dinner would be on the house. That small gesture, paired with her warmth, completely turned things around. The food itself was incredible.. so flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I’d been craving. But more than that, the hospitality reminded me of true Indian warmth and care. The owner didn’t have to go out of her way for one customer on a busy Friday night, but she did, and it left a lasting impression. I walked away not only full and happy but also feeling like I’d found a place I want to return to again and again. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Indian food and values genuine hospitality.

Loved our lunch at Tera Mera! Portions, flavors, and dishes were all great. Sat in the backyard on an unusually hot day, but it was shady and breezy. The owner was super friendly, and spent time chatting with us. This is the exact sort of casual Indian cafe that I am so excited is in the neighborhood in the midst of NYC's Indian food renaissance! Lots of fun groceries in the shop also.

I visited the restaurant with my son and fiancé while in Brooklyn, and it was such a beautiful experience. The food is authentic, flavorful, and crafted with so much care—you can taste the quality in every bite. Since we have gluten sensitivities, it was such a relief to find so many gluten-free options, all of which were absolutely delicious. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the owner even stopped by our table to greet us, which made us feel right at home. The environment is cozy and inviting, and their tucked-away garden feels like a little oasis in the city—I felt transported while sitting there. This isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience filled with heart, hospitality, and authenticity. Truly one of Brooklyn’s gems.

I was in the area for a hair appointment and googled Indian cuisine. The indoor ambiance was cozy as if you’re in mom’s kitchen. The outdoor patio is adorned with greenery and bright colors. It was just far too hot to enjoy my food and the outdoor decor today 🤣. Sampled the refreshing cauliflower salad, samosas, puri and the butter chicken to go. The dishes were full of flavor and did not disappoint. My only complaint is that the butter chicken portion was too small to share. Thank you for the lovely dining experience and good luck in the coming months!

Ok guys, this is a great addition to the area! Expanding our horizons from Indian table to this new, delicious menu!!! Yes it’s limited lunch menu for now but they are going to expand to dinner service soon!!!

On. Point. Good Indian food is rare in North America imo, this is beyond good and is amazing. The Khichri is perfect as if severed from an aunties kitchen, the pickle I will be asking for takeaway. Momo’s took me right back to Assam. A must visit restaurant.

I, quite simply, had one of the greatest restaurant experiences in recent memory here. The atmosphere was warm, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, the owners were lovely—and most importantly—every single dish was phenomenal. The menu is incredibly curated and you cannot go wrong with anything that you get. I highly recommend the Methi Mushroom Masala. If you are in the neighborhood, this is an absolute must.

Such a lovely atmosphere. It felt like we were being hosted by our friends in a cozy apartment for a lively dinner party. The music was groovy but not too loud, the owners/chefs served us and took time to speak with us. Let’s not forget to mention that the food was incredible as well!!!

We had a 6 PM Friday dinner reservation at Tera Mera (it was our first visit). My wife is from India and vegetarian, and we’ve been to dozens of Indian restaurants in NYC. Tera Mera is now one of our favorite spots. The food was delicious; the staff were attentive and nice (the owner was also there); and the ambiance was warm and unique. We had the Pani Puri, the Handmade Momos (both vegetarian and chicken), the Vada Pav, the Butter Chicken Pav, the Lamb Pav, and the Samosa Chaat. Everything was great, but the Pavs (all three) were phenomenal. We will definitely be back soon to explore more of the menu, and we look forward to bringing friends and family.

Could not have loved my experience here more. It felt like dining in someone's living room - just so cozy and welcoming. The food was out of this world. We especially loved the crab curry and the momo. The drinks were also unique and quite delicious. The chef and her husband came out to speak with us - they were a riot and made us feel right at home. Love this spot. So happy to have it in the neighborhood!

It’s mostly chaat and quick eats. The food is good, but I’ve had better Indian chaat and food in the city. Also found it overpriced.

Amazing food, looks a bit small but it was more than enough to fill a empty stomach. I got the pork vindaloo which came out about 18.50.

Honestly delicious. And it was every single dish. My favorite was the butter chicken pav and the fish.

The food was great. We especially loved the Masala Omelette on Paratha — beautifully seasoned and the paratha was perfectly flaky. The Chai was delicious as well. As others have noticed, service was kind of slow, and customers were not always treated on a first come first serve basis, which was unfortunate.

Great for casual Indian food. I wouldn’t say so amazing or different, but it was generally good. Loved their chai. A bit cold inside in the cold weather.

Dropped by for a late lunch after reading all the hype on social media. It did not disappoint. The restaurant has a great vibe; colorful decor; friendly staff, beautiful backyard and most importantly, great food. The atmosphere is very relaxing, yet youthful and vibrant at the same time. It is hard to believe that the hustled of Court St it's just a few steps away. Great for groups, families and couples.

This is a great new place with interesting and good food. Service probably can improve. The Vada Pav was the best of what we tried, really good and haven’t had something like this before. The Pani Puri seems to be their main spiel and pretty fun to try - not sure I’d order it again. Dumplings were good but not special. The service was kind of slow when we went, I guess just startup pains. Lovely people but they forgot to bring one item. Next to us were apparently two influencers who got the special treatment, got special selections, new dishes to try etc, they kept going to them and kind of ignoring us. I know that is how modern day restaurants in nyc work but still stinks since I am both paying and a (potential) repeat customer…..

Dropped by for a late lunch after reading all the hype on social media. It did not disappoint.

The appetizers are good (pav and dahi poori). The entree we had, veggie kadhi was nothing like kadhi we are familiar with and was not that good.

Sadly, the food was not very good. It was not bad, just very mid-range. I got vagharelu heirloom tomato toast, it was a very thin layer of thick yogurt, like Greek yogurt topped with tomatoes. The bread they used was good quality but it was something I could make at home. The mango lassi is good but it’s a very small portion for $8. Chai tea was not great. I think that is because they don’t make it fresh. It comes from a carafe, where it has been sitting, so the flavors aren’t balanced. Perhaps the meat dishes are better. I will not be back.

- Food was good. No complaints there! - However service was extremely poor - Appetizer arrived after our meal which delayed the service and we were immediately but “politely” kicked out so they could prepare for dinner service. we probably spent 90 minutes and there was no information on time limit per table. - all this while our table was placed bang in the middle of a chaotic event in their garden without a heads up. - their event team kept bumping into our table and leaned all over us to click pictures.

The food was delicious, although all if it sat at the same spice profile level. The drinks were great, the space is gorgeous, but they need to train/hire better wait staff. Every single waiter was coming to check on us and we still didn’t get things we ordered, and no one was keeping their eyes peeled fir things that needed doing like clearing plates, bringing the check, or refilling water. Since no one was looking, it was very hard to flag someone down. Also, I recommend getting clear water cups so waitstaff can see when glasses need filling.

Food was tasty but they are new and really need to work through their operations and staffing. The drink took 20 mins and the food almost 50; others who came after got served well before me, had to ask about my order, and the sandwich still came out without a key ingredient (beets). It’s a cute spot with good food and while I would like to return for the ambiance, the value really felt lacking particularly given pricing.

Service and presentation are great but the bowl was too heavy for a quick lunch. Wasn’t able to finish half of the meal — too much flavor and consistency at once for me.

Small portions but otherwise the food was alright — we just really disliked the service. We felt shamed for not wanting to order wine, shamed for not ordering appetizers, and shamed for not ordering dessert after the meal. We were called “the butter chicken table” by a staff member who wasn’t even our waitress. It was also really expensive for what it was, and with the pressuring to order more things, it didn’t feel inclusive or fun. I usually never feel like I never want to come back to a restaurant ever again, but I felt that way here. Sorry to be harsh, but this was a tough one.

The young girl there working today ruined this once fine experience for me. She had a very nasty attitude and no clue about ingredients! I took a chance and ordered a bowl and she charge $29! FOR WHAT??? See pic! I AM NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN WHEN SHES HERE! To top it off they conveniently closed right around lunch time for an hour! Awful place and awful experience!

Please stay far away from this restaurant if you want authentic food from Mumbai. This place is overpriced (which is acceptable for good food) and the food tastes absolutely horrible. We ordered half the menu (wada pa, khichdi, pani puri, samosa) and I left thinking I will never return to a place that calls itself authentic Indian, because it is not. On top, the service is not great - staff disturb you whilst you’re eating to ask if they can clear one empty plate!
