The grilled chicken burger was really good. 🍔. I really enjoyed it. The lemon juice drink was really good too. I appreciate the service here 🙏. Thank you.

I'm not sure if this Tustin Hot Spot that closed and reopened in Lakewood is the same location. The food was excellent, and I appreciated their authentic paratha and omelets, just like home cooking. I visited with my family and tried several dishes; everything was fresh and tasty. The restaurant features a spacious dining area and plenty of parking. The only drawback was ordering via kiosk instead of a waiter or cashier. We will definitely come back!

I had the beef shawarma, i give it a sold 7/10, i wish it was not that spicy, but over all the bread was crunchy, and the sauces tasted good. Cant wait to try other foods.

Pooris: very small but 3 in number, taste: 7/10: one of them was wet since they did not put any absorbing sheet underneath Chanay/cholay: 2/10: absolute worthless Aaloo sabzi: 8/10 tasteful Halwa: 2/10: absolutely tasteless in the most worst way Prices: 6/10; charging 2.99 for a 16oz water bottle??12.99 for breakfast, 2.99 for small water bottle and 2% service charges??? Service charges are not even displayed anywhere. Overall experience 4.5/10. Would not recommend! Not worth the taste nor money or environment
