    Casual Indian restaurant with friendly service. Food is good but very stingy on size, we literally got 2 pieces of chicken the size of a thumb for the curry, and 4 small cubes of lamb in the gosht.

    Wasn't sure what to expect but BKC was amazing. One of the most reasonably priced meals we've had in London in a long time (£25pp with a drink) for delicious food and good service. We will definitely be back!

    Your space is very small compared to your potential and quality of food. Think about it how you can expand. Food is really good expect for Laccha Paratha ... that is not what usually Laccha Paratha tastes and looks like. Maybe you do not have a tandoori so you cannot do it. Then don't call it laccha paratha .... all it something else Taste wise it is not bad. Other than that all the foods we ordered were very good.

    Galoti kebabs, biriyani excellent. Infact all items ordered was just cooked to perfection. Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff and very accommodating staff as we had arrived 20 mins late for our booking and the restaurant was busy.

    The food was good value for money! The roomali roti and Galouti kebabs were awesome as was the Karak Chai and the Chicken Kathi roll. However, I've had better Biryani elsewhere! The service folks were good but too eager to clear the plates from the table!
