I had the pleasure of indulging in their butter chicken, a velvety masterpiece with just the right balance of creaminess and spice. The garlic naan was perfectly crisp yet soft, an ideal companion to the flavorful curries. Their vegetarian options are equally impressive, with the paneer tikka masala stealing the spotlight – rich, tangy, and utterly satisfying.
The service is impeccable, with attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. Whether it's recommending dishes or tailoring spice levels to your preference, their hospitality is unmatched.
To top it off, the presentation of each dish is a feast for the eyes, reflecting the care and creativity poured into the cooking. The portions are generous, offering incredible value for the quality you receive.

The decor and seating is eye catching. You can sit on a plush couch while watching the traffic go by on the busy street below.
After a bit of confusion with my order, the food only took about 10 minutes to come out (I was the only customer besides one other table).
I asked for chicken tikka masala with extra chicken. My server asked how many pieces of chicken I wanted, to which I replied “I don’t know.”
They brought out my order with 12 pieces of chicken, (double) and didn’t even add an extra charge.
I’ve had a lot of good tikka Masala, but this one was exceptional. It was a very thick blend of aromatics cooked down into a curry paste. It was spicy, but not too spicy for my western palate.
The mix raita was fantastic. I loved how they served the tomatoes and cucumber with a bit of cumin on top, so you could mix it in yourself. The yogurt tasted fresh and it had a bit of tang to it. Not too thick and not too funny either.
At the end of my meal, the owner came over and showed me some magic tricks with a deck of cards. I was amazed at his slight of hand and ability to slip my card back into the deck and “change” the card in my hand. He showed me how some of the tricks worked. Incredible stuff.
Excellent food and great service. I’ll definitely be returning to try some of the...
Read moreOK, there's a bit of social engineering going on with the review score here on Google, but keep reading; I'd call them accurate nonetheless.
Nan 👏 review! 👏 (+2 Internet points if you understood that reference)
Starting with the food: I had chicken madras, yellow (saffron) rice, garlic and butter nan, and a sweet lassi. Absolutely no complaints on the food, quite the contrary it was good and the portion was generous.
But the magic comes from the magic; I was the only one there at the time, and the owner started showing me card tricks and even taught me a few tricks after I've finished. Superbly entertaining and a genuinely pleasant guy who's doing what he loves.
Going back to the food, it was a bit on the pricey side (820 baht for what I had, with two nans), but considering it was a good portion, the restaurant is a nice one, and the owner being an awesome guy, I'd consider it well worth the price.
Here's the other sleight of hand they're pulling off: When I walked in I said to them out right that I came because of the Google review (4.9 /5 with 1600 reviews), and they acted surprised about it. After I've finished, the other owner (I'd guess) comes to me and politely asks me to leave a good review (this said sincerely), and this is the real reason for so many 5/5 reviews.
I'd give this place a rating of "garlic...
