"It is a treat to find an organic Indian spot with a variety of gluten free and vegan options. (Couldn't even find something like this in LA! Both the smaller cafe and the restaurant delivered the same quality. The shop at the back of the restaurant also had a great selection of food to purchase and bring home to make for yourself. My deducted star is only for the mildly undercooked gf dough on the samosas and pakoras. It's not a big deal.. GF is hard to get exactly right. I still very much enjoyed it and will return often!"

Are used to be five stars. I think they underwent change of ownership. Kind of bland now.

We love this Indian restaurant because it is open when other places in Fairfax are not and the service is great! Their vegetarian and meaty dishes alike are quite yummy and their prices are super reasonable. Love it! View menu

Good Indian food in Fairfax. We ended up picking to go as it was 9:20pm and they close at 9:30pm. I wish we could sit down and eat as I saw people coming after us and were allowed to sit. None the less the staff was caring and were professional.

Delicious Indian food with a nice hidden courtyard. The food comes to your table in traditional metal bowls and ready to share family style. Garlic naan was yummy too! Portions and prices are ok. Staff is friendly and helpful. When you walk in you will notice the bright rosy interior but we enjoyed sitting out back in the courtyard. View menu

Coconut Curry with Lamb was great and stood out for us. Benghan Bartha with eggplant was solid and would also be ordered again. Veggie pakoras were fine. We came on a very hot day (100' and the cooling in the place was not winning the battle. They have a patio but we stayed inside. Service was friendly. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

The best Indian Nepalese restaurant I have ever been been privileged to dine in. Delicious, high quality food with great staff service. We got parking spot in front of restaurant, no need to worry about parking. We enjoyed with butter chicken Naan, MoMo and lot others. This is the best spot for fresh and organic food. I love to refer my friends.
