I’m working my way through the menu but each item I’ve had has been packed full of flavour and incredibly delicious. The chicken 65 is popular and tasty and has a good amount of spice. The dal is incredibly flavourful with good amount of coriander which has been my favourite so far. The roti is nice and the cassava chips seasoned very well Highly recommend the food is affordable and delicious

It is best to see this place as a butcher, spice shop, and Indian/pakistani food truck rather than a minimarket/grocery. They've greatly reduced the number of stuff they sell since a few years ago. There's barely any snacks and mostly just spices, rice, some cooking ingredients, and drinks. Their main product is halal meat and Muslim style curry and briyani.
