    What a treat! Homemade Indian food for a hungry vegan traveler! Last visit to Maine 4 years ago, I ate dairy and occasional fish, so food choices on this visit were scarce. I enjoyed the Pakora, Chickpea Masala, Roti, chutney, and rice. If only nondairy milk and cheese could be used as a substitute for some of the remaining dishes perhaps, for a beverage and desert, it would be perfect. I didn't get to @heiwatofu nearby, but if you partner with them, I will be excited to return just for those dishes! What you do is so critical creating nutritious tasty food, reducing animal cruelty while sharing your beautiful cultural dishes. Maybe a cooking class one day? What a peaceful setting for a great meal- the bay, clouds, small creatures enjoying the meadow! Thank you so much for your warm hospitality! I will definitely be back!

    This place is a midcoast gem. We did takeout almost weekly this summer and have been getting delivery since November. Everything is delicious and the dishes are of consistent high quality week to week. It's also nice that they occasionally rotate some different dishes in to give regulars something new to try (e.g., banana curry this week, dum aloo last week). The malai kofta is probably our favorite dish but everything is delicious (and the lassi is frothy fun to drink along with the food). Very kind, hospitable people even in this challenging, socially-distant time. Highly recommended. Our only wish is that they were open every day! (The photo is from an October thali meal they offered. We had the great coastal view outside the restaurant to ourselves.)

    We used the online ordering, which was fast and easy. Our order was ready on time and they helped my husband bring the food out to the car. Everything was DELICIOUS! 10/10 would recommend this restaurant especially thali when it's the special for the week.

    Perfect spot for takeout or dining in when in the Rockport/Camden area — Super flavorful food and great seating by the water!! Plentiful vegan & gluten free options as well.

    It was good for vegetarian! I would really love an option for chicken, but overall it was good! The gentleman who greeted me and helped me was very kind. Takeout place and the option to order online.

    Lovely South Indian restaurant with a few expected North Indian dishes. Note that Gujarati food has more dishes sweetened slightly, including lentils. Their spiced banana side dish is worth the trip. We always eat there and order another meal to take out for our next lunch or dinner! Very clean overall, modern casual decor with pleasing ethnic touches. Fabulous view overlooking the bay. Some seating on uncovered deck.

    I’ve eaten all over the world and I am a foodie… This by far hands-down is the best Indian food I have ever placed on my pallet. The view is astonishing but it’s nothing compared to the wonderful family that prepares your meal. Their kindness and thoughtfulness while we stayed at the motel for a week once we found out how good the food was we just kept eating there. If you’re tired of lobster I need to change make the trip to this wonderful place. If you're tired of lobster I need to change make the trip to this wonderful place. The hospitality is above any Found In other restaurants locally. When you eat here you feel like family. Please stop by and try the delicious food I highly recommend it
