If you are craving authentic Indian and Nepali cuisine in Littleton, this is the place to go. The food was absolutely fresh, flavorful, and true to its roots. Their menu offers an impressive variety of Indian dishes, and everything we tried—from the curries to the Indo-Chinese selections was spot on. The noodles transported us straight to the bustling streets of India. The service was equally outstanding. Our waitress was patient, polite, and incredibly hardworking, making the experience even better. Don’t miss their tea as it is superb and the perfect way to end a meal. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for authentic flavors and warm hospitality.

Great Indian food! Ordered Dal makhani which was actually pahadi dal, freshly made garlic naan, veg chowmein and chicken biryani. Everything was good but daal and naan were really nice and flavourful. Also they served really good raita! On the whole had good food during our autumn trip.

PLEASE SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM; THIS IS NOW UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP. It seems small but they have 2 dining rooms, and it is well worth taking time to find parking. Open year round, which is a plus for us locals, the menu has something for everyone, at every budget. From 1 egg and toast for $3.99 to steak and eggs for $21.49, everyone can enjoy a good meal. This is perfect for me when I take my senior citizen friends out to eat so they can feel comfortable ordering food on their fixed budget or, if I cover the meal like today, it doesn't break my bank to be nice. Of note, the coldest booth is the corner booth up front; sit elsewhere or bring a lap blanket for your legs. It's chilly. We accidentally chose this spot and the waitress was so awesome, inviting us to move anywhere we like due to the cold. We chose to stay, but next time we will sit elsewhere for sure. Let's see what else? Oh parking... Free parking locations near by and paid parking on the street in front. On Sundays and holidays, you can park for free on the street. Food, well worth it!!!!! Tea, bring your own bags because the tea bags are old here. Large coffee bar menu for the aficionado. Serves breakfast and lunch, and they do have a kids menu. Bottom line: I'll be coming back for sure. UPDATE, AS OF 9/13/24: This is now an Indian Restaurant and very authentic; I literally felt like I was back in Delhi. It was absolutely delicious! I was so sad it was not the old owners but very impressed with what I ate. I am still sitting here, stuffed to the gills...and very satisfied. I am posting the new menu.

We were doing a northeast loop and this is honestly the best food we’ve had on our trip. So flavorful but not overpowering. Price is perfect for the amount of food. The service was excellent. The owners were so nice and hospitable to us and took some time to chat and recommend places to visit during our trip. Now our go to place when we come back to NH

Just moved to the area from San Diego where I had access to lots of Indian food places. I was so excited to hear of this place in town and it did not disappoint! Lots of menu options! Everything was fresh and flavorful I was pretty impressed! Service was good! Unfortunately it does lack ambience at the moment but was excited to hear they are planning a shutdown for renovations soon so look forward to seeing the outcome! Ps. Wish it could stay open for to go food at least while renovated. Go now if you want to try, they do take out too lots of calls were coming in!

Came here for breakfast and had the best gluten-free chocolate chip pancakes! Our server, Bree, was so thoughtful and kind. She made our experience wonderful! Definitely a great restaurant for anyone looking for a local spot with gluten-free options!
