one of the nicest things about life is the way - imli · "one of the nicest things about life...

"One of the nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever we are doing and devote our attention to eating."

We heartily endorse this sentiment!

But like a beautiful painting is enhanced by the perfect frame, a good meal must be savored in the proper setting, with food not just for the belly, but also for the heart and the soul.

So we created Imli. A home away from home, where beautiful art adorns the walls, delicious food sits on the table, and friendship and laughter fill the air…

We serve delicious, healthy, pure vegetarian North Indian cuisine with an emphasis on quality ingredients cooked in a manner your mother would approve.

Our recipes have been handed down through generations in our family and it is with pride that we share them with you.

Oh, and did we mention, we serve the best garam chai and pakode in the area.

The prices in this menu are inclusive of sales taxes. We do, however, levy an additional 10% as service charge which is entirely disbursed between our wait staff and kitchen staff.
