read moreI absolutely love this place! This tiny little whole in the wall spot on Macdougal Stis definitely a hidden gem.
We tried spicy Phal chicken roll , it was way too Spicy around 9.5/10, (we are indian and we do eat spicy food but this way purely hot) ..
This is probably my 10th time hereI'll start with things that you don't want to order.
