Dee our server was so attentive and lovely, I'd come back just for the service she provides, not to mention the delicious food, large portion sizes, and well marked menu for different dietary needs including vegan and gluten free. She even sent us home with another portion of rice. Samosa Chaat is to die for. Love this gem in the valley of Akron!

I love the Pizza here. This past weekend we tried a traditional sausage and pepperoni and a gluten free pizza as well. The gluten free crust is really delicious! All the toppings are fresh. The owners are so kind and helpful. They even walked the pizza out to my car! I 10 out of 10 recommend giving them a try! Support your local businesses!

The chicken dinner made of soy w/ gravy and onions was wow!!! Seitan/gluten proteins are always better, and have such an easily attainable great texture, so I was very surprised that even the texture was really enjoyable. As a first timer, I didn't know what to expect with flavor and there was so much flavor! The rest of the fam had burgers and fries. Can’t go wrong there! To the employees who were late, so late that we never saw them arrive, smh. Your boss is a good one, she doesn’t deserve that.

Shrimp & Grits and Roasted Chicken were amazing. Extra precautions for gluten allergy. Original Sin Black Widow Cider. Everything was excellent. 👌👍
