Authentic food because it’s made with love and care. The couple was so kind to us and even offered something for our dog! We were met with warm smiles, open hearts, and gentleness. I’ve included the best photo I have of the food because we couldn’t wait to taste it!! Great chai, delicious Britain, samosas, and REAL Chai. Loved it and can’t wait to visit more and more!

I came here with my family and had an excellent time here! The owners, a beautiful husband and wife duo, personally serviced us and were so sweet and kind. The husband came over to ask us how we liked the experience and share more about his passion of cooking and how to eat the food culturally. They were such a great host and it made it feel like we were eating at their home! The food was amazing! I got the lamb vindaloo and my brother the chicken curry. Both were a 10/10!! I hope the owner starts cooking classes soon!

This place is a hidden gem amongst all the flashy restaurants in the area. We ordered butter chicken and chicken curry and they were both delicious. Some of the best Indian food we’ve had. The outdoor lit garden setting lends itself to very good ambience. The owner is very passionate and friendly

Such a wonderful experience! The garden is beautiful and so peaceful. The food was absolutely devious and some of the best vegetarian dishes I’ve ever had. It’s family owned and you can taste it! My favorite place in St. Augustine! We will definitely be back!

This place is a favorite of mine. The couple who own it are lovely people, the food is delicious and healthy, always comes out steaming hot and made fresh with the best ingredients. The outdoor seating in the garden is beautiful and well shaded for any time of day. I'm here at least once a month and would strongly recommend it.
