100% GF Indian & Mexican Fusion Restaurant. Vegetarian with vegan options. They say it’s authentic Mexican with an Indian flare, but Indian cuisine is more present than that.

Pros. Great flavors & good portions. Cons: Some dishes can be spicy, if you’re not a spicy fan. Chips were room temp and guac was my least favorite thing I tried.

Overall, good sport and I will visit again the next time I’m in the area.

This place is completely GF, and the tacos are flavorful and delicious. The owner is great too. I've been 3 times (so far) while I've been visiting Somerville. There's nice indoor and outdoor dining.

Yummy yum yum. Great place and virtually the whole menu is Gluten Free so enjoy. Staff was great and quick service. It’s also a BYOB if you need it.

Everything here is gluten free and absolutely amazing. I have Nima tested pretty much every item on the menu and all came up gluten free. I eat here 3-4 times a month with no issue.

I love this place! Almost the entire menu is GF. I spoke to the owner and the only thing not GF is the flaming hot Cheetos in one of the Mexican street corn. The owner was super nice and everything was delicious. I have tested multiple items with my Nima and it came back all smiles

The owner was incredibly nice and knowledgeable with gluten, almost nothing on the menu has gluten in it (all tortillas are corn) and everything tastes amazing!
