If you want to go somewhere to get a quick bite of some cheap healthy and tasty food under $5, this is the place for you! You will love this place if you are a vegetarian. Most of the dishes they have are vegetarian although they have 1 or 2 non-veg dishes. The parathas they make are very authentic and feels like home made food.

The store owner Ashish is a very friendly guy and his Mom makes the best parathas. If you see his Mom in the kitchen, definitely order the parathas. And yeah, they have an open kitchen which makes me feel a little more secure about what I eat! 

As for the price, you can get a good meal for under $5. Having the grocery store and the restaurant together is very convenient and a plus for me.

They also serve free desi chai.  Sometimes when I go there for grocery shopping, I just sit and order samosas to go along with the free tea…brings back memories from India!

I would definitely recommend this place for a quick lunch, dinner or even snack times in the evening especially if you a vegetarian. All that great home made food taste for just under $5…its tough to beat!
