“ A nice Indian restaurant run by a Sikh couple. Dishes on the menu are from North India. Seating is slightly limited inside if you are a large group, then you will need to split between tables of 4 or max 6. I found the service to be ok. Being an Indian was looking at recommendations on what they do best but it kinda was all over the place. The food on the other hand was prepared fresh. The phulkas were very soft and good for a cold Zurich evening but at the same time one of the most expensive ones I have ever had at CHF 4 for a single small phulka (CHF 3 would have been perfect since you end up ordering a lot). ”
“ Very cool place, nice and friendly owner. Good food at very reasonable prices Will definitely come again ”
“ Great local Indian in Wiedikon. Good flavours and very friendly and helpful staff. ”
“ I absolutely love this restaurant! The food always tastes great and the owners are so friendly and make you feel very welcome. I usually get the butter chicken and it's delicious every time. And of course the mango lassi is also very yummy. They also make sure to ask how spicy you want your food. For example the chicken tikka masala, which they will even make Indian spicy for you if you like that. Overall such a great place with wonderful owners. Will definitely keep coming back to this place :) ”
