Forget white tablecloths—this is pure, unapologetic desi comfort served fast on Vulture Street. A fixture of West End lunch routines, the counter setup lets you point straight into steaming trays of creamy butter chicken, goat curry, and spinach with potato. Puffy garlic naan comes blistered to order, while regulars hold out for the crisp butter chicken samosas and chicken Indian burritos before they vanish. You can grab a street-facing window seat, balance a hearty thali with house mango chutney, and walk away with a hefty feed that barely dents ten bucks.
- Handheld Signatures: Known for handheld Indian burritos and crisp samosas stuffed with butter chicken.
- Bargain Midday Value: Hefty thali combos and ten-dollar midday plates deliver massive portions without stinging your wallet.
- West End Vibe: Fast counter service, made-to-order naan, and streetfront seating keep queues moving steadily out the door.

A relaxed dining space with Bollywood music and window seating offers prime West End people-watching and vibrant local character.

Jay Stephens Fresh Made-to-Order Naan
Breads like garlic cheese naan and plain naan are baked fresh to order while patrons select their curries at the counter.
The plain naan is so good but you should order it first because they take some time to cook as they make it fresh.

Beyond the menu
Thoughtful touches that elevate casual West End dining
Dedicated Vegetarian Serving Utensils
Kitchen staff maintain separate utensils for vegetarian dishes to prevent cross-contamination directly at the serving counter.
Fresh Made-to-Order Naan Breads
Naans such as plain, cheese, and garlic are made fresh to order on the spot rather than held pre-cooked.
Complimentary Dine-In Takeaway Containers
Staff keep take-home containers handy for dine-in guests who cannot finish the exceptionally generous portions.
Behind-the-Counter Chutneys and Pickles
Guests can complement their curries with traditional house relishes and pickles, including lime pickle and mango chutney kept behind the counter.
Before you head over
Practical advice for ordering, lines, and portion sizes at this West End staple.
Order Naan Early
Fresh naans are cooked to order, so place your bread order upfront at the counter to prevent waiting while your curries are plated.
Expect Evening Queues
Lines frequently stretch toward the street during busy evening rushes, so arrive early or build in a short buffer for counter ordering.
Plan for Generous Portions
Servings of curries, rice, and naans are notably large; consider bringing a take-home container or planning for leftovers if dining in.
