Excellent food . We ordered chicken wings and prawns . Both were full of flavours and succulent. In mains we ordered butter chicken and bihari lamb. The best butter chicken I had in recent past . Smoky twist was great. The only disappointing was the rice . We ordered bhune pyaz wala rice but it didn’t have single trace of onion. Remember you will have customers who know what pyaz means 😊

Kachori was recommended to us by a family member, what a great recommendation. We travelled from South West London for my daughter's 20th birthday and it was so worth the journey. The staff were very welcoming and attentive from the get go, we had a great table (a booth). The food was absolutely delicious in all respects and came at exactly the right time. The staff were kind enough to bring my daughter a complimentary birthday cake at the end of the meal and gave us some complimentary drinks for the birthday celebration. What a fabulous experience. I can't recommend highly enough.
