best indian food in the area. recommended. Menu is simple but I think that is what is good about it. Not a huge menu. But whatever they serve is high quality.

Service was impeccable, polite and professional, we were not rushed. This was my second visit. Food was good, though £17 for each main you should expect decent quality. Butter chicken was a success (and good portion size), lamb saag less so. Starter Fish koliwada was amazing. I will be back, but maybe just order more starters and cocktails. Feel lucky to have this on my doorstep.

A very enjoyable evening. The fish tikka starters were superb. The paneer main was a little samey, but the others were excellent. The lamb biryani was a coup de theatre. If we have one critique, it was the lack of a vegetable side dish or two.

It was okayyyy. But the spices were not hitting, got warned the vindaloo would be HOT. It was definitely not. The other curries were fine. The starters were fine. It just wasn’t worth the money. In hindsight, I’d rather have Indian food from southall or tooting where the flavour really hits hard for amazing value. Plus it was SO LOUD in there, my throat hurt from shouting over my whole meal. Won’t be back. Sorry. £130 for 3 people.
