Friends of mine have been here before so I knew I'd be in good hands.
ATMOSPHERE:
The indoor portion is pretty tiny and open-air. The outdoor courtyard with gravel floor is pretty spacious and protected from the elements by the building walls, eaves, and umbrellas.
MENU:
Savory and sweet crepes, and different curries.
FOOD:
Ham & Aged Cheddar Cheese Crepe
I really liked it. I never associated crepes as savory, only sweet. Now I'm a total fan! The crepe was just right in thickness and the ham & cheese had great flavor. It came with a leafy green salad with a balsamic dressing.
Hummus and Pita Bread
On paper this sounds boring, but man, the hummus was absolutely delish! Some kind of tasty oil sat atop the hummus and made it even easier to spread. The pita bread was fresh and moist.
Chicken Avocado Crepe
I loved it! The crepe was perfectly cooked and filled with fresh avocado, moist chicken and other subtle seasonings with sour cream to the side. The small side of green leaf salad (my favorite veggie) went well with the crepe. It's also an ideal portion size.
Banana and Chocolate Crepe
We all shared this for dessert. I was a bit put-off that it came with a thin caramel sauce pooled at the bottom of the plate as it's not my favorite sweetener. I had just a few bites as it was too sugary for me.
SERVICE:
Our female server was friendly and professional.
OVERALL:
Good food, good prices and good service.

Very lovely experience. Owner is very sweet and friendly too!
Good was amazing and very soothing. Many vegetarian options.
We loved the Curry bowl with Butternut Squash, Garbanzo Beans and spinach in coconut milk. The strawberry crepe was big every crispy but nicely made.

This place is a hidden gem. Their indian food is better than many restaurants in India. I ordered mixed vegetable curry and it was finger licking good. It came with complimentary chutney of choice. Highly recommended.

Open air restaurant with very cool atmosphere and decor. Tasty flatbread and curries. The only negative was the service. We hardly saw our server because she was too busy talking and sitting at another table. She took our order, gave us our food, and the bill (only after we got up and looked for her). She never checked on us or came to refill our water once.

This place is a hidden gem in Paia! From crêpes to beef, curry bowls, this place is outstanding.
It is also a great place to finish your Haleakala ride with a coffee !
