IF YOU LOVE INDIAN FOOD THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

Now, in detail: Even after checking a 3.9 rating on Google and some reviews, I decided to give this a try.

I ordered Vegetable samosa, tandoori roti, Daal Tarka and Special Shahi Paneer.

The food arrived and they also gave salad, Papadum and chutneys along .

Vegetable Samosa: This is highly overpriced at £3.99 and don't deserve even 1star. Got 3 small samosas, which were oily and had no flavour. DON'T ORDER AT ALL

Daal Tarka: Weird yellow color and filled with garlic. Also cooked in some weird tasting oil. It was horrible.

Special Shahi Paneer: So called Shahi Paneer was the WORST special shahi paneer I have had in my entire life. It was absolutely disgusting and had no flavour of Shahi Paneer whatsoever.

Tandoori Roti: The rotis were big in size but were undercooked.

I had to bin the whole food away (see pictures). I am from New Delhi, India and know the flavours, so trust me and look...

Visited this restaurant recently, and while it had a promising ambiance, the experience fell short of expectations.

Firstly, vegetarian options were limited, so not much unfortunately for us to choose from. I tried the paneer shashlik and veg jalfrezi. Both dishes were average in taste.

The service was another disappointment. It bordered on wait staff being slightly aggressive. Additionally, there were discrepancies in the offers: what was communicated at the time of reservation did not match what was actually provided. It left a feeling of inconsistency and diminished trust.

Finally, a service charge was added to the bill, and no signage indicated this policy. While I have no objection to service charges in general, transparency about such fees is essential for a positive dining experience.

Overall, I’d say the restaurant has potential but needs to improve on consistency, transparency, and food quality to create a truly...

We ordered food from the restaurant today. Whilst the first curry that arrived was good, they forgot to send out, or I suspect make, the second curry for my partner. We rang them up to say it hadn’t arrived and they arranged for a driver to come send it out. I also asked for a can of coke to be added to order as a goodwill gesture.

It then took them half an hour to deliver the second curry by which time the other food we ordered had gone cold. When the driver arrived, he then demanded money for the can of coke to which we stated we didn’t have and shouldn’t have to pay given the mistake they made. He then stated this “wasn’t his problem” so he left with the drink.

This was absolutely poor on their part customer service wise and has put a dampener on the food we would have otherwise enjoyed. Not to mention the curry that did arrive had an embarrassingly small amount of prawns in the curry.

Would...
