This has got to be the most flavoursome Indian Restaurant in the UK. Interior is ok, I'd rate the Interior 3 stars, it's traditional, comfortable and cosy. But the food is truly awesome and I really mean it...Mouthwatering flavours. I've been ordering from this place for the last 18 years and the flavours are spot on, I've never had any problems with this restaurant. No matter where I am, when I want an Indian, it's always this place because I've tried the rest. This place always delivers the food how it should be. I can tell just from the flavours the chef has been here since day one even though I've never met the chef which I would like to meet one day. The food is never overcooked or undercooked, the chefs skills are precisely perfect. My favourite starter is the fat-free Shami Kebab, and when I mean fat-free it doesn't mean it comes dry, it's juicy and full of flavours with grilled onions on top (checkout the picture) My favourite main dish is the Chicken Dansak with extra slices of garlic and green chilli. The chef knows exactly how I want and customise it for me, and I am very picky when it comes to food. The dansak is full of extra toppings, they don't fall short when you ask them (check the chicken dansak in the picture) Side dish I usually go for the Vegetable Bhajee, and again the way the vegetables are cooked it's truly flavoursome. Most restaurants the vegetables seems to be boring and soggy, but in this restaurant, it's something you would not dislike. I have tried pretty much everything on the menu and I promise you'd be satisfied. I usually order takeaway and I still yet to meet the chef and the management just to say...THANK YOU. EXCELLENT SERVICE & EXCELLENT FOOD 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It was worthless spending 6 Pounds for one single prawn which was coated with bread crumbs I have to literally look for prawns in it I ordered for panner sultani and they literally served matar panner. The service was one of the major drawback of the restaurant the waiter does not know how to talk with their guests and was too rude They even don't have tap water service in the restaurant and when I ask for explaination about the service and the way he was talking he started to give "racism" comments and told I have problem with every " Indian customer only" When he told us of you have any problem with me then give us feedback on Google not here. It means he does not care about the guests as well as he does not care about the Google reviews putting down here. HORRIBLE SERVICE NEVER EVER GOING BACK. Some legal action should be taken on it to stop this kind of racism

I came here today and ordered chicken tikka masala with pilau rice and naan bread. The chicken tikka masala is one of the best I've ever had in my life! The taste is so rich and full of flavour and it's not watery or oily unlike some other curries in other restaurants. The pilau rice was delicious too and I could eat it just by itself without the curry, it's so tasty. The naan bread was so soft and fresh and also delicious. I would highly recommend them, they really do make delicious food and are generous with their portions. The fact that they were getting constant takeaway orders shows I'm not the only one who thinks their food is amazing! 😋

During my recent trip to London I went to this place while scouting for the Indian restaurants around my hotel in Docklands area and I stumbled across them. But what a meet it was. Day after day they kept serving me the delicious cuisines from the Indian subcontinent and made me feel at home by their courteous behavior. There were couple of occasions when they made customized dishes for me and delighted me with awesome taste. Even after landing back in India, I would still miss them for the superb experience they offered me during those 2 weeks. Keep it up!!
