“ Wonderful. Found open air parking at N Ash Avenue and Stone 6.50 and walked around 2 corners. Zoom into Google Map to see. Stone Avenue has some construction and very limited parking with restricted time. On the way back I noticed the library I popped in and asked. If you park underground library parking it's free for 1 hour. Afterwards I don't know the cost. I had the Spinach and Mushroom Empanada. It was warm. The crust, light, crunchy, and flaky. The spices worked well together to make the spinach sing, and the mushrooms added additional texture. I'm glad I had an extra one for later. I also had the Dosa with Spinach and Mushroom to go for later. Looking at what others ordered, I would suggest a combo. The rice, lentils, and salad seemed popular, large, and filling. It's also well priced. The Bombo combo also looked promising. It was a bustling place for lunch. The Hibiscus tea was a lovely treat. I would definitely eat here again. The Aloo Mater Samosa was really good. The pastry is a thin version of puff pastry, and not too rich. Order at the counter. I collected my empanadas and waited for the rest. The cilantro mint sauce and masala sauce both enhanced my meal. Great service. Enjoy. ”
“ We both enjoyed the fresh and delicious lunch we had earlier today for our first visit. My friend and I both had the combo plates with one empanada (Feta & spinach as well as the Samosa version), cups of curry lentils, Honduran cabbage/slaw, and cilantro/lime sauce on the side. Lastly, we each loved the crisp and refreshing Saffron Honey beverages. The food was absolutely delicious, savory with every bite and so wonderful overall. We appreciated the attentive and friendly service as well as the beautiful decor. The two of us can’t wait to return to this awesome restaurant downtown to try more dishes and drinks. ”
“ So remarkably tasty and fast. Went on lunch on a Thursday (I’ll admit their hours can be tricky) and had a chicken empanada and a spinach/feta empanada which were both really top-tier Indian flavors with the flakiest of empanada crusts. Highly recommend. Reasonably priced and seems they have a great happy hour schedule/option if that’s up your alley. Definitely worth the stop. ”
“ Small, cute and clean. The food was amazing! I had the chipotle spicy chicken bowl with rice and mango salad. The salad gave the perfect crunch to the meal. The garlic naan bread was good. For desert I had the apple empanada. The apple slices where large. The empanada was warm and large. Highly recommended! ”
“ This is our favorite lunch spot downtown! It's easy to walk there if you live nearby. All their empanadas are so savory and delicious. You will want to eat more than one! They have bowls and tamales as well. They sell boba, lemonade, and alcohol too. Our favorite drink is the green apple lemonade! ”
“ My favorite is the pork empanada with cilantro sauce. The fiesta empanada is also very good. This makes for a great takeout meal since they're so portable! ”
“ What a delight! Not familiar with the area and trying to find a place open downtown prior to a show! We stumbled onto this sweet little place. We each had the bumbo combos Chicken empanadas, mango jicama salad, I had curry lentils, and my husband had black beans. Then we shared a banana and Nutella empanada for dessert! We also have their lemonade! Everything was delicious and a perfect find! Oh, we also added the cilantro lime sauce they have a full vegetarian line and Gluten free too! The atmosphere was Pleasant. Nice music. Food was served with real plates and cutlery. Cute tables and chairs, fast friendly service. ”
“ I love their samosas, they have a big selection. The other side dishes are delicious too... it’s a good place to have lunch. ”
