Amazing food. Literally the best paratha I’ve ever had. Accommodating with their portions of rice for a lone diner. Place was packed on a Thursday night- always a good sign. Great service. Super friendly and prompt. Had white wine by the glass - only two choices Sauv Blanc and Chardonnay.

One of the best restaurants we've ever been to. Very friendly staff, excellent atmosphere, fast service, reasonable prices and incredible food. Seated almost immediately and then we were welcomed by a delicious starter. Didn't have to wait long for the main meal either which was of very high quality. The waiter was very helpful when sharing his professional opinion on the meals, and helped give recommendations. When we were finished with our meals, we were given oranges, chocolates and freshly steamed towels. Pricing was adequate. Thank you very much. We will certainly be coming back.

We managed to get a table in the corner as we didn’t have booking. The service was very good. Onion bhaji was tasty although not crispy. The naans were pretty big. The bhendi masala and veg navarathan sabji were delicious. The murgh balti was just enough spice to my liking. Warm towel and orange quarters were a good touch at the end.

We had an amazing dining experience at a restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and delectable food. We enjoyed a custom-made paneer curry that was incredibly delicious, and the accompanying side dishes were equally delightful. The paratha and roti were particularly remarkable. The staff members were exceptionally friendly, and the service was excellent. It's the little details that truly make a difference. Recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates Indian or Asian cuisine.
