I had an incredible experience at this authentic Indian restaurant in the heart of New Bedford! The food was absolutely delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. Located right downtown and open until midnight, it’s the perfect spot for a late-night meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant, making it an enjoyable dining experience overall. Highly recommend!

A lot of great flavors. The pizza was spicy but I like that. The shawarma sandwich, very tasty but maybe a little too much sauce for my liking but it did help cool down the heat.

Starting from entering the restaurant it’s really welcoming and food is really good. We had Chicken shawarma and I can bet you won’t get that shawarma even in Boston. It’s really good. Samosa chaat is also very good. Even masala dosa was really very delicious.

We tried the Chicken Shawarma, Paneer Shawarma, Indian-style Chinese Fried Rice and some Indian street chaats– everything was absolutely delicious! The food was freshly cooked and served hot, with amazing flavors in every bite. This is a fantastic place if you’re looking for authentic Indian dishes and middle eastern style shawarmas. Their Indian street food and the Chinese dishes are just as impressive. The owner and staff are very friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!

The service could not be beat. The chef suggested dishes for us since we are new to Indian cuisine. The shawarma was fantastic, everything was fresh and flavorful. The doma was such a great treat, melting cheese in crispy dough. We also had one with a potato mixture inside, both were delicious. We also ordered the noodles with both chicken and egg, this had so much flavor and was cooked to perfection. Will be back and will definitely recommend. Thank you chef Sem for taking the time to explain the options and cooking such delightful food.

This restaurant is an amazing blend of Indian cuisine with a modern spin! The customer care and service is incredible the shawarmas are AMAZING. My husband and I are always on the hunt for good Indian food in the area and by far this is our favorite we’ve already been there 3 times in the last two weeks because it’s just THAT good! You should definitely give their food a try!
