Gobi Manchurian (12 oz) was a better portion than the last order but still really small for the price. It's delicious. I love the way the sauce caramelized on the gobi.
Gluten Free Naan was good; quite soft.
Tofu - spinach was savory with a nice texture ,

I really liked the Gobi Manchurian (12 oz) but it certainly wasn't 12 ounces. It was about a fourth of a small container. I was disappointed. I would not buy again for that small quantity at that price.
The Gluten Free Naan was amazing. So tasty and soft; will buy again.
I did not like the Eggplant pakora. The batter was extremely bland, and the chutneys didn't stir me.

The Tofu pakoras(vegan) was extremely disappointing. It was just a dozen small cubes of tofu with unflavored batter that was sweating and falling off. Would not order again. The accompanying sauces were also unusually watery and flavorless.
The Tofu -Broccoli in coconut sauce was overly watered down and lacked flavor. Small portion, 1 cup.
Gobi Manchurian the batter was wet & soggy; the dish was mush. Could be because DoorDasher had it in their car for an hour before delivering. Probably not a good item to order to go. All portion, 1 cup.
Saag Aloo was delicious and rich. This is the only item I would order again. The portion is also too small for the price.

Their Gluten Free Naan (plain) is literally the best Naan in the entire world (my partner lived in India for 15years). It is better than all gluten Naan I've ever tried... somehow the texture is just perfect---spongy soft and still oven-fired to perfection. *magic!*

Best Indian takeout we've had in Marin since we moved here in 2013. So good!! Rogan josh (onion one) had great depth of flavor and the potato saag was lovely and Spicey. And the pakoras were incredible!!
