    Delicious food, accommodating staff and wonderful welcoming owner. We visited Lake Tahoe this week and went to this cafe around their close time on Monday. We called in to ask if they'll accommodate us and the owner was honest with us and said if we make it at 8:30, they'll accommodate us. We made it and glad we did! We loved the food and the attention the owner gave us. We had our dinner there today and enjoyed it too! Palak, thank you so much for your hospitality! We would definitely recommend you to try it out if you are in Lake Tahoe.

    We got the paneer tiki masala and lamb curry. The food here is soooooo good. The samosas were some of the tastiest I've had in awhile. Definitely worth stopping by. Good prices also.
