Simple vegetarian Indian restaurant featuring both southern dosa and northern curry dishes. The portions are reasonable (not overwhelmingly heavy and large) and flavorful. We started with the pav bahji, which were good but nothing special. Three of us had the dosas (two lentil based and one moong bean based), all delicious and filling. Definitely worth a repeat visit if I'm in the Village again.

Perfect spot for a business lunch. Great food and quiet enough to have a good conversation. The squash and carrot soup was chock full of flavor - way exceeded my expectations. Loved the Chef’s twist on the small plate crab cakes. Service, as always, excellent.
