This tiny, seven-table, family-run joint with golden walls and dark wooden furniture serves up mostly Indian home-cooked fare – with a dash of Nepali and Chinese dishes thrown in for good measure – from chicken tandoori and prawn biryani to vegetable kolhqpuri (Maharashtrian spicy curry) to momos (dumplings). The kati rolls (sandwich wraps) are tasty budget feeds. It's opposite Safeer Market.
