    Love love love this place. Food is delicious and locally sourced (they had NZ beef on the menu which was sumptuous. Yeah not local but darn good) the lasagna is great and the Brazilian fudge is so good. Call in advance with your order and it will be ready when you get there. I posted a picture of their business card. You're welcome! The gift shop sells items made there and they are things you actually want to buy. They create real work for people and teach life, business and craft skills. They even have a dentist from time to time.

    What a big surprise while traveling around Timor Leste. There's a small gift shop, quite lovely. There's a restaurant which I didn't get the chance to try, but definitely will next time around.

    What a nice surprise! This little NGO does it all: restaurant, guest house, handicraft center, music studio, wood work, even dentistry. It's a remarkable testament of what can be accomplished by two very dedicated people. While they could not serve me what I ordered for lunch because the electric went out, they were able to fix me potatoes eggs and cheese, which was a very hearty and tasty lunch. What really impressed me was just how clean the entire facility is. Food prices were very reasonable, as are the rents for the guest house. Individuals staying the night start at $30. The handicrafts were unique, very colorful and attractive. The prices for the artwork were very high. This place does not accept credit cards.

    An ambient little haven - just what we needed after a long, dusty motorbike ride from Dili on the ‘new’ road. Lasagne was delicious and honestly one of the best salads I’ve eaten anywhere in the world - perfectly peppery rocket. Everything was beautifully presented, with attention to detail. I bought way too much at the store but it was all just gorgeous and much better than anything you can find in Dili. Will be back - we stayed so long chilling over lunch that we never made it to Maubisse. Next time!

    Love this place for fresh, simple food and juices. The fried chicken is delicious, as is the Brazillian fudge! When they have fresh passion fruit juice, that is awesome too. Step into the shop to buy some locally-made art and handicrafts. Tip: order in advance via their Facebook page or phone.

    The non-Indonesian restaurant that we visit regularly because of its halal. Might be the best Indian restaurant in Dili, and East Timor. Our favourite are fried rice, briyani rice, cheese naan and beef curry. They provide lunch box menu as well, $5 each. Typically need quite long time to cook the food. Delivery order is availabe.

    One of the best Indian Foods restaurant at Dili. Located at unit CBD2 opposite the famous Timor Plaza, guest could easily identify the eatery. We have the tandoori chicken, house prawns, lambs and chicken. Also the Nan Bread, is really yummy!!

    Been coming here for about 4 years now. Food is fine, but service is getting slower, and the constant construction noise while eating just really lets it down.

    Good food. Good service. Good location. Ordered the bolognese lasagna and didn't regret it. Looked good, tasted even better. Food took a while to be prepared, but it was worthy the wait. Place is clean and different with all the green from the plants. Toilet facilities are so clean that I wondered if they were real.

    Good taste, nice ambiance however the service is too slow. Waiting almost 1 hour waiting the food, I ordered beef steak. If you order chicken around 30-45 minutes.

    My working partners said that near citilink timor plaza there's a delicious Indian restaurant, so I go there with taxi. At first I came alone it was 11.30 am. And someone who has curly blonde hair said to me loudly, the restaurant not yet open. Than I ask, can I sit there first? You can sit if you want to but she said it rudely. In bahasa : duduk aja kalau mau duduk, dengan suara agak keras. So I sat down, and I saw in tables, that this restaurant open on 11.30 am. Oh ok I think, she was in a menstrual day. Than her Indian bos look at me, and whisper to her, maybe he said something that she should serve me, cz the restaurant already open. Then suddenly she came with a nice sound, and offering me the menu, and a package for Wednesday. Than I order the package for $3 and also a lemon tea. Quickly the food came, and served to me. And I never want to go there again, cz the waiters have a bad attitude. And than my boss take me to here again, I can't refused his kindness So I eat again Briyani chicken rice, pratha, and chicken masala , and also milk tea The food is good, but if I go alone, I don't want to come here again. Sorry I'll give you three star, cz it's my first impression. And your waiters failed a kindness serving.

    Cool place. Possible to buy souvenirs in the little shop attached to the restaurant.

    Not the cheapest but really nice lasagna bolognese.

    It certainly is a good option for Indian food in Dili, if they stopped adding MSG in their food and reduced the amount of oil, it will be even better.

  • 5/5 David K. 6 years ago on Google
    Excellent, genuine Indian food. The breads are especially delicious. Note that they have just moved premises, a couple off shops down from where they were before

    For Dili, this is probably the best Indian restaurant in town. The curries taste great, the nan fresh and warm, and the lassies delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff responsive. It can’t compare to other Indian restaurants in Southeast Asia but for where it’s at, it meets all expectations. The service is adequate though food took a long time to arrive. Staff could be more warm and friendly but they get the job done. The biryani is the one dish that I felt they could do better to improve the quality and texture.

  • 5/5 Francisco Alves D. 5 years ago on Google
    A wonderful meal and definitely one of my favourite places in Timor-Leste, I liked the old space more because the new room has a bad echo and can easily become a too noisy place if full. But wonderful service and food. Good price too.

    Nice small restaurant and genuine Indian food. The vegetable Kohalpuri was nice. But what was also equally nice was Chef came came and said some ingredients were unavailable and gave a list of what they were substituting. Honesty plus. The mutter pani had many layers of flavour (a bit over sweet). The food was piping hot and very nice. Will visit again.

    (Translated by Google) The location is next to Western Union, CBD Dili. The price of the food is affordable, the place is clean and comfortable and the interior design is good. (Original) Lokasinya di samping Western Union, CBD Dili. Harga makanannya terjangkau, tempatnya bersih dan nyaman serta design interiornya bagus.

    Best curry in dili

  • 4/5 Charles T. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the more upscale indian restaurant in Dili. Food taste is quite good. Beef masala is soft. Sometimes the food was served cold, price wise is slightly above average otherwise it is a good indian restaurant to go to. Now they serve lunch boxes at usd5 per box which is quite reasonable....
