The gluten-free menu here is a lifesaver. Staff actually listened to my allergy list and double-checked with the kitchen. Felt safe ordering for once.

The lamb curry was spot on, just like I remember from my travels. Paired it with a bold red from their list, which really stood up to the spices. Samosas were great too, huge portions.

The crab wontons are the star here. Joy was so sweet and attentive, even when the place was packed and things got a little slow. She really made the night.

The bread here is legit. Got the French, sourdough, and a croissant. All fresh, warm, and crusty. That sourdough especially had a nice tang to it. Really solid start to the meal.

Cozy family-run place inside the mall. Owner Mo is attentive and checks on tables, which is nice. The warm atmosphere makes it a solid spot for a quick, reliable meal between errands. Service is efficient.
