    I don't know how anyone could not walk in here and appreciate this place. Decor is simple and straightforward because they need to focus on what they are doing to help the community. The food is healthy, house-made and amazing! There is a sliding scale option for people who can't afford full price, what other place even does that? This place is lovingly run by a generous husband and wife team and I appreciate what they are doing so very much!

    SciEats food is delicious and prepared from the great, fresh and tasty ingredients. Prices are more than reasonable .The service and atmosphere are also ones of the best. Absolutely friendly staff, and, what is most important, they cook healthy and very tasty dishes. Thank you SciEats, I will recommend you to all my friends!

    Healthy and delicious Indian food! I tried the tikka masala, chicken kabob, mango lassi, and carrot halwa, and everything was amazing. What makes this place so special is that the food is healthy and made with care. The owner is kind and genuinely passionate about providing people with access to nutritious food at an affordable price.

    A Real Surprise! I wasn’t sure what to expect walking into this place—it’s a nonprofit restaurant, which already makes it stand out—but wow, it completely won me over. The vibe is warm and welcoming, and the mission behind it is even better: making healthy, flavorful Indian food accessible to everyone. You can tell they care, not just about the food, but about the people they’re serving. We tried a bunch of dishes—fermented lentil pops, goat biryani, paneer kebabs, carrot halwa, and mango lassi. Each one had its own thing going on. The lentil pops were super crispy and surprisingly addictive. The biryani? Deeply spiced and tender, with goat that practically melted. The paneer kebabs had this smoky edge that made me slow down and really taste it. And the carrot halwa was just the right amount of sweet—comforting without being heavy. The mango lassi was the perfect finish: creamy, tangy, and refreshing. What really stuck with me is that everything’s made from scratch, using whole ingredients. It’s not just tasty—it feels good to eat. Like, genuinely nourishing. If you’re into food that’s thoughtful, flavorful, and served with heart, give this place a shot. I left full, happy, and kind of inspired.

    I was drawn here because it’s a nonprofit that aims to help people struggling with nutrition insecurity. We received service from the owner who was immensely friendly and passionate about his project. In addition to the amazing service, the food was delicious and healthy! He gave us many things to try and even a loyalty card with generous perks for future purchase. It’s very evident that this restaurant is not in it for the money, but rather for the impact and the community. If you have the means, give a big tip! They’re working very hard and I imagine within profit margins much lower than a typical restaurant despite providing amazing products and a service to the community.
