What people say, in short
Many commenters recommend Pappe. One diner who has tried almost every dish on the menu at the 14th Street location says it isn't overly sweet and is amazing, one rates the lamb biryani very highly but does not like the samosas, and one says a request for extra spice was met. One commenter is mixed: they liked it before, but now that they eat vegetarian feel the menu lacks paneer curry options. One commenter says they still find the food really good.
