The restaurant has a large menu of appetizers, breads, soups and specials with chicken, lamb, beef, seafood or rice. They also offer many vegetarian options.

There is a section on the menu featuring dinner specials that feed two. Dishes include Vegetarian or Non-Vegetarian Thali, Special Thali, Chole Bhature, Aloo Poori, Egg Curry or Egg Bhurji.

The restaurant has not started serving pizza just yet. Bassi said they are looking to add a pizza chef to their team after their original chef became ill.

Bassi previously owned several gas stations and convenience stores in the Dayton region. After Covid, he switched career paths and partnered with two family members to open the restaurant.

Bassi said they are working with the Huber Heights Chamber of Commerce to set up a grand opening date.

All entrees were served with basmati rice. In terms of spiciness, they ordered a three on a scale of one to five. They shared a Mango Lassi that nicely offset the spiciness of their meal.
