Excellent food. This time around I tried their coconut curry and it was amazing mild hint of coconut and not extremely overpowering coconut curry. Lot of Indian restaurants in India do not know how to prepare really nice coconut curry but this place knows the real recipe. I came to this cafe few years ago when they just started the truck and I am happy to see that this place is still open unlike my lot of favorite restaurants in Hawaii. If you visit north shore of the island, this place is a must try.

Hands down the best authentic Indian food I’ve had in Kauai ! Every dish was bursting with fresh flavors and the perfect amount of spice. I highly recommend the Coconut Veg Curry and the Dal, but the Avocado Naan was the absolute star of the show. 10/10 would recommend!

Delicious! Fresh ingredients, good flavors, as good as any Indian restaurant we have tried. Nice to sit at a picnic table and have a big plate of ono curry and shrimp vindaloo after a long hike
