The restaurant opened in June 2022 for lunch and dinner with a lunch buffet serving traditional Indian cuisine as well as carry out options.
The location is on the corner of South Limestone and Avenue of Champions across from UK’s The Cornerstone with dining, parking and retail. It’s also next to the girls girls girls burritos restaurant.
The building has been home to many restaurants over the years, including Crumzz, Street Craves and Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers, and before that Hugh Jass Burgers, among others.

The corner of South Limestone and Avenue of Champions, April 22, 1993. Shown from left is a Dairy Mart convenience store, the 24-hour restaurant Tolly-Ho, sporting goods store Court Sports and a Dunkin’ Donuts location. In 2000, Pazzo’s Pizza Pub took over the spot where Court Sports and Dunkin’ Donuts were. Pazzo’s closed in 2019. Tolly-Ho has been a popular campus hangout since since 1971, when it opened at what was then 108 West Euclid Ave., today known as Winslow Street. In March 1985, the 24-hour greasy spoon couldn’t make a deal for a new lease and moved to this location in August 1987. The owners rented there until May 2011, when they opened at their current spot, buying the empty Hart’s Dry Cleaning building at 606 South Broadway. Frank Anderson 1993 Herald-Leader staff file photo
