I have to start by saying how the staff are always smiling. They're friendly and have some great recommendations.
Moving onto the food, we ordered the chaat platter, chilli paneer and prawns from the tandoor/clay oven.
I was disappointed by the paani Puri - it lacked the tang and explosion of taste you expect, instead it had a very bland and lacked flavour. However the rest of the items on the platter were absolutely fabulous!! Fresh, crunchy, tangy, tasty, flavourful. Everything you expect from a chaat platter. I could have ordered another 2 (without the paani Puri)
The chilli paneer was one of the best I've had! The tandoor / clay oven prawns were perfectly cooked and had the right amount of 'tandoor' taste however the marinate / flavour was lacking.
Mains - veg Kolhapuri.... Oh my gosh!!!! No words can describe how amazing this was and how is it was possible to make veg taste like it did!!! It was absolutely divine!!! We ate it with garlic naan, that too was fab.. it was rolled to the right thinness and had the absolute perfect amount of garlic and butter!! An absolute treat. I should mention as we ate others sat around us on other tables just couldn't stop complementing the foods they had ordered! So I'm definitely going back to taste the other items!
Desserts - gulab jamun and pistachio kulfi ... At first glance the gulab jaman looked lost in the bowl it was presented in, the syrup was way too thin and the 2 balls were too small. However, the taste.... I don't think I've had better. Some improvement required in the presentation and with the syrup .. but the taste 5/5 .. amazing!
The pistachio kulfi - I expect frozen... But ... We couldn't dig in... Waited almost 25/30mins for it to soften ... Once it did once again the taste was everything you expect... Another 5/5. However does require some thinking to ensure the customer doesn't leave with a brain freeze instead of the flavoursome taste.
We enjoyed multiple drinks including mango lassi, lemonade and mint tea all of which were fab.. even the mango lassi was the perfect consistency however it comes with ice which when melted affects the taste of the lassi (server should ask if the customer would like or not - I wasn't given an option)
I'm going back!! And I...

Read moreI had been to the Cheadle restaurant yesterday. I must say the ambience is very good. We started off with poppadoms (so foolish thought it was a compliment) but realised it was charged and pricey too. The poppadoms were authentic and no compromise in the taste. We then ordered Lamb chops which is the best I have had so far, a must try and Chicken lollipop (felt the chicken legs were dipped in bread and batter and fried) is not great, more oil and pricey too, but loved the chutney anyway. Again comes the sev poori, fell in love with it, was yum. Finally the mains, paneer sizzler, it was good but the taste of the sauce on the paneer was very different from what we usually have in India. With the Chicken biriyani, my husband is not a great fan of basmati rice and he felt the taste wasn’t the same back in India. Not to mention, the Cobra beer and Mojito tops the list.
Overall feedback - Good food but less quantity and pricey, great ambience with classic Hindi songs at the background and a request to inform customers that poppadoms are not a compliment as in most restaurants in India, poppadoms are given free as a sign of our generosity and culture (not that I...
