Sara's full firsthand review
The ambiance of this place is completely lacking... but its also because its inside of an old grocery store. I mostly came in here to grab a hot cup of tea so I decided on the Kashmiri chai. Well the Kashmiri chai was good. Although it did come in a small foam cup.. the chai was steaming and fresh. The taste was authentic as well. As far as the food goes.. I ordered the beef paratha roll. It was okay. What I liked about the roll was that it was fresh.. but it didn't taste like a beef paratha roll. The inside of the roll was stuffed with strips of beef, cilantro and tomato. This is not how its usually prepared. They also have Mexican food on their menu.. so I feel like they just made a fusion style wrap. I'm more used to the original taste of a beef roll without the fixins. My family ordered the chaat but they complained that it was too sweet. Chaat should have a nice blend of sweet and spicy flavors. I'm not sure if I would come back here again unless im in the area. If I do visit in the future I would probably get the Kashmiri chai and something sweet to go along with it.
