3rd time going on a 2 week visit to London. I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment you walk in, the aromas promise something special, and they absolutely deliver. The food was insanely good – every dish bursting with authentic flavors that hit all the right notes. The spices were perfectly balanced, and you could tell everything was made with the freshest ingredients. The tasting menus is the way to go and try new foods, flavors, textures, you will have never tried before. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I am not a vegetarian, but the vegetarian dishes were out of this world The staff are friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or new to it, this is the place to go. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly, highly recommend! Lee and Family from California
