Customer Review Summary
Pizza is the item reviewers raise most, with one calling it better than any Italian they have been to and another the best they have had in a long time. Chicken kebabs come close behind, with one reviewer saying they beat others tried across the city. Diners also single out tender, fresh lamb tikka, a smooth and fragrant chasni, and naan that is soft all the way through. Kids' piri rice boxes and pakora get mentions too, and several long-time customers say they have ordered for years and describe fast delivery. The main dissent comes from one reviewer who found a 10 inch deep dish veggie pizza bland despite looking good, called the well-seasoned French fries overpriced, and said Domino's would have been a safer option. Another reviewer ordered a buffet of pakora, pizza and curries for a 21st party, where it arrived on time and guests went back for second and third plates.
