Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the curries and generous portions, with the huge naan and the mixed biryani of prawns, chicken and lamb named as standouts. Tandoori dishes, rice and a creamy mango lassi also draw mentions, and reviewers describe the food as full of flavour, fresh and authentic. One compares it favourably with Dishoom in London. Service comes up almost as often as the food, with staff called friendly, welcoming and quick, and one group noting they never felt rushed. Several say the portions are good value for the price, and a few mention coming back for dine-in after trying takeout. The one complaint is the onion bhajis, which one reviewer found bland and not really crispy, though the same diner enjoyed the curries, rice and naan bread. Reviewers also describe the restaurant as small but with plenty of seating for its size, and one reviewer happily dined there on a quiet Thursday evening.
