2009-09-06 22:31:06   I came here for lunch on Saturday and was very satisfied. For those who don't know, chaat is to Indian cuisine what tapas are to Spanish cuisine. Small portions of time tested favorites. My friend and I got a couple Samosas and the Paani Poori and Bhel Poori and they were all excellent, we also got the Gulab Jaamun for dessert and some Chai. To be honest, I think it was the best tasting Indian food I've had in Rochester and I've eaten at all the other places. Everything was very flavorful and fresh. You can't find the many of the things they serve at any other restaurant in the area. The couple that owns the restaurant are very friendly and attentive as well, chatting with us and asking how we liked the food. If I still worked in Henrietta, I would make this a regular stop for lunch.

If you've never tried Paani Poori, give it a shot, it's really tasty, a bunch of hollow thin fried shells filled with a spiced blend of chickpeas, onions, and spices. You get a cup of very flavorful broth that you pour into the shell and eat it in one bite. —AlexD1234

They serve all the indian snack food that I never thought I would find in Rochester! I try and get samosas for chai here often. They also have a small selection of kebabs and really good (and spicy) biryani. They also have nightly specials which you have to ask about. Only complaint is that some of the fried snacks tend to be a little oilier than I like, probably because they microwave to reheat them before serving. I'd suggest getting takeout and reheating them in a toaster oven instead! —MehulMalik

They have great pakoras (vegetables fried in chickpea batter. They have medium-spicy peppers, spinach-onion fritters, and some others, all good). I'm a big fan of samosa chaat (basically, a chaat plate (chickpeas, onions, tomato, coriander, citrus-and-tamarind sauce) with a broken-up vegetable samosa), while my wife favors their gobi (cauliflower) parathas (thin crepes). We usually eat vegetarian there, but they have nice meat dishes too (the meat samosas are a little too meaty for me (I prefer a mix of meat and veggies), but they're quite good, as are the kebabs. Their Chana Bhatura is really good as well (lighter than most, though it's not a light dish). Lastly, their sweets are by far the best in town.

It's less formal than the other Indian places - about as formal as a pizza parlor. Good for a quick casual bite - Not the place to go for a long formal meal. It's casual, comfortable, clean and good. Also the best value in town for Indian food. —RossMessing

Friendly owners (man and wife I think) and some very wonderful dishes, at very reasonable prices. The samosas were wonderful, perhaps the best we've had and most likely made there at the restaurant. We'll definitely be back. —DottieHoffmann
