The wait time was twice as long as it took for us to eat. Food was good but didn't match high expectations. Sambusa soup and platha was better at b star cafe (their overflow restaurant)

My last meal on earth will hopefully include a tea leaf salad, samosa soup, superstar vegetarian noodles and lots of sangria and coconut rice.

If you're waiting in line, Quickly has fried appetizers right down the street. That's what they call the munchies.

Call for a reservation, arrive at least 30 minutes early to fond parking, and there's a sister restaurant down the block is it's too packed. Just ask about it.

There is nothing bad on the menu, but if you don't get the tea leaf salad, you don't know what you're missing.
