What to Order
Amritsari Kulcha
A unique and flavorful Indian bread, often stuffed, that many reviewers highlight as a must-try item.
"I savored the Amritari kulcha... The server was incredibly warm and attentive, making the experience even better."
Nav Brar
Paneer Lababdar
A rich and creamy paneer dish, praised for its beautiful texture and balanced flavor profile.
"Both the Paneer Lababdar and the Shahi Paneer were standout hits. The Lababdar had a beautiful, creamy texture with just the right amount of tang..."
Palak Sharma
Garlic Naan
A perfectly cooked naan bread, noted for its ideal thickness, crispiness, and generous garlic topping.
"The naan? My god I don’t understand why other places make naan so thick and doughy. Varsha’s naan was slightly crispy and the perfect thickness with the toppings generously spread."

Varsha Briyani with Lamb
A highly recommended biryani, celebrated for its perfect moisture, balanced flavors, and generous toppings.
"The briyani was probably one of best briyanis I’ve ever had in my life. And that’s saying a lot considering I’ve never particularly liked briyani out of all Indian food options. The flavours were the perfect proportions and it was perfectly moist, unlike most dry briyanis."

Mango Lassi
A refreshing and delicious traditional Indian yogurt drink, perfect for cooling down the palate.
"The mango lassi was delicious, and we watched Mr. Bean on the TV. 10/10"
