Where I am:
Location Reviewed: 8450 Baltimore National Pike Suite 170, Ellicott City M.D.
Items Reviewed:
STAMP!! Their Drinks ($3.99 A mango Lassi, Cold pressed orange juice, & rose milk). All of these drinks HIT!!

STAMP!! Their Chicken Biryani ($16.99 with a mix of basmati rice, seasoned chicken, an egg, onions, gravy, & yogurt). Well seasoned, & that gravy had some serious heat to it!!

STAMP!! Their Mysore Bonda ($7.99 it’s a fried curry fritter with hot, peanut, & mild sauce). Fluffy, & crispy on the outside.

DELICIOUS. Their Medu Vada ($8.99 a savory fritter with a spicy black lentil soup). Less sweet, & fluffy than the Bonda, just good.

LIKE THAT! *Thursday’s Only*Their Bhindi Masala Dosa ($11.99 a huge spicy thin crepe with a curry potato filling). The crepe is spicy, & the potatoes savory!!
