# Qds
Situated in the ever-busy locality, Satya Niketan Market is a one-stop destination for people seeking out the luxury of quality restaurants yet are tight on a budget. The Satyaniketan market is full of restaurants, QD’s being one of them. Their tandoori momos are one of the reasons why the restaurant is such a loved one amongst most.
