Wanting a potato dish, Indian seemed like a good idea. We hadn’t tried this place before, so it seemed worth checking out.

It was super busy, and the staff seemed to be overwhelmed. We had a little wait, before being seated inside.

Our table wasn’t totally clean, and there was a half pitcher of water but no glasses or cups.

We decided on the Masala Dosa and the Rava Masala Dosa, but the Rava one wasn’t available. We also ordered Garlic Naan.

The chaotic atmosphere was disturbing, but after we got our food some of the crowd disappeared.

I must say, I do believe it was the best masala dosa I have had! It was very good, and the other items that came with it were good, too. I would definitely come back, though I might prefer take out.

The service wasn’t bad, but the server was quite brusque, and it wasn’t as efficient as we like. We did get moved to a cleaner table before our food came, but we also had to get our own cups for our drinks. This seemed to come down to the intensely busy time we arrived, so I expect it is not typical of a less busy time.

From taste alone, I feel very positive about this restaurant.
