Customer Review Summary
Chicken Makhani draws repeated praise as the standout curry, with reviewers describing it as rich and tender, closely followed by the Fish Kerwari and Prawn Biryani, plus mentions of the Lamb Rogan Josh and Malabar curry. Starters come in for consistent notice too, from the poppadom trio with accompanying sauces to the Samosa with tamarind relish and the Prawn Lonche. Several diners single out the naan and pilau rice as well cooked, though one reviewer found the roti a touch too crisp for their taste. Service is repeatedly called attentive, with staff offering recommendations and, in one case, free tastes of dishes, and multiple reviewers note not feeling rushed to leave. One reviewer flags it as pricier than a typical curry house. The evening closes, for several, on plans to return for specific dishes already tried, from birthday dinners to takeaway orders becoming dine-in visits.

“Where to begin? From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the experience was incredible. There was such care in our service, and the staff went above and beyond in offering recommendations and even providing free tastes of certain items. The food was incredible-probably the best Indian food I have ever had. Do not be fooled by the small size of this restaurant—this is a true gem hidden in the middle of Hammersmith. The moment we walked away we were already planning our return and the items we would order on the menu.”

“This is truly a hidden gem in London’s restaurant scene. The food was absolutely delicious – I had the Chicken Makhani, and it was rich, full of flavour, with incredibly tender chicken. The rice, naan, and papadums were all fantastic. Everything was presented so beautifully that, before I even realised it, I had finished my meal without taking a single photo! It simply looked too good, and it tasted even better. What made the evening even more special was the wonderful service. The staff noticed when we had finished our meal, but they never made us feel rushed or pressured to leave. They simply let us relax, chat, and enjoy the atmosphere, which is something you don’t find everywhere these days. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. If you’re looking for amazing food, a warm atmosphere, and genuinely thoughtful service, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll certainly be coming back.”

“This was a lovely meal and experience. I came to the restaurant with family for a birthday meal and the waiter was very attentive from the start and made sure service stayed consistently great throughout. We ordered a multitude of dishes from their menu and although I didn't have a starter myself, the other people who did were very complimentary about the flavours of the prawns and tenderness of the chicken Tikka. We began with the poppadoms which are a very welcoming trio of different types of poppadoms accompanied by a tray of 3 lovely sauces to appease whichever your taste buds prefer. The standard only improved with everyone happy and content with the flavour and portions of the mains. I had a chicken makhani and tasted some of the other Currys such as the Korma and Chicken Hirva Masala, all were very nicely cooked and full of flavour. The pilau rice was cooked to perfection and Naan bread came fresh and soft. I preferred Naan to the tote as this came abit over crisp for my preference. Overall a fantastic meal with a great choice of wines on the menu to accompany your meal. Manager was really accommodating right till the end ensuring we enjoyed our meal. I will be back again whether it is to eat in as an experience again or to take away and enjoy the flavour!”
