Little India has morphed out of the closed down Kajal restaurant. Different owners and chefs. This is my 5th visit and it won't be my last.
The welcome is always friendly. They will take walk-ins, but it's always best to book, even for the same evening.
The food quality is excellent. Chicken is always tender and juicy, lamb is tender. Sea Bass is quite superb and beautifully cooked.
The restaurant is licensed - Cobra and others.
Look out for Afghan Chicken Palak. Lime & Ginger Sea Bass and Chicken Shashlik Jhol. The Tawas are superb as is the Labador. On my most recent visit (Sat 5th Aug 23) I tried the Labador and I can honestly say it was the most flavoursome dish I've tasted for a very long time. It is full of spice taste and with balanced heat to allow the ingredients to be tasted. These are totally tasty dishes. If you want them with less/more chilli hot then ask the staff. Just don't expect Chicken Tikka Masala. There are traditional favourites as well, with accompanying side dishes. Sag aloo is a standout. Amongst the Trad Specials try the Jaipur or the Korahi. For a starter try the Fish Pakora.
If you don't want accompanying rice then ask for naan or similar instead.
The staff are incredibly helpful in their advice and can help with terms and spice strengths.
I can highly recommend this restaurant because the food is freshly cooked by expect Bangladeshi chefs using high quality...
Read moreAfter being recommended by the curry critiques' lads, I thought I would give this place a go. Oh my god, why have I not heard about this place before !!! As a new venue, I always keep it simple, if they don't get it right then you know its a no go, 2 - Pops - Onion Salad and mint sauce / Red sauce and Mango (no normal mango, seems like they put a twist but lovely) Onion Baji Starter, - always a good indication on how clean the place is, how often they change the oil, taking into consideration this was take away, I was expecting them to lose the crisp a little, well they didn't - light, fluffy and crispy. nice colour, not burnt oil, not old oil... Very nice indeed. Chicken madras, full of body, flavour and plenty of chicken, 8 nice sized chunks. Perfect white chicken. Keema nan, nice amount of meat and flavoursome.....overall I would give this place 10/10 and will now be my new go to venue. absolutely...
Read moreLovely restaurant with very tasty dishes. Nice and cool inside, with ample seating. First time visiting and will certainly be ordering again ! Food was very nice, bought out to table promptly, with very tasty flavours. Meat was nice and succulent. Would recommend the butter chicken in particular. Not many places seem to perfect this dish, but the last two restaurants, I've visited, including this one, have perfected it. Staff were all friendly, polite, and, professional, but Noor, the waiter in particular went that extra mile with service and kindness. Service with a smile everytime. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little gem of a restaurant. Lovely place with beautiful food. Perhaps a little on the pricier side, but that's no issue when the whole experience is fab. Thank you,...
