  “My friend and I had a lovely meal here. The service was personable and attentive without being intrusive or overbearing. Definitely some of the best Indian cuisine I've ever had. Don't sleep on the Aubergine!”

  “Rude staff. I was directed to a table. After a while, the worker put a piece of paper on my table. I waited and was confused. So I went to the counter. The worker slammed the counter and said I should have known the paper was for me to write my order and bring it to them. I have been to lots of restaurants and cafes, including hundreds across India and have never come across this system. The rudeness when I didn’t understand it was awful. I recommend to avoid this place”

  “.Avoid. where do i even begin. we ordered patra and it arrived burnt. when we flagged it, they remade it — but the second attempt was so drenched in oil it literally burned my hand when i touched it. i told the lady i couldn’t eat it in good conscience and didn’t want to pay for something inedible. her response? “this is how we make it, and we are a business — we need to stay in profit.” she charged me anyway. it didn’t stop there. the chef came out not to apologise, but to argue. same line: “this is how we make it, if you don’t like it, that’s your problem.” then the waiter joined in. three members of staff, all doubling down, zero accountability. and the food across the board wasn’t good either — the dhokla was dense and brick-like, not even close to the soft spongy texture it should be. the idli tasted like it had come straight out of a freezer. the sambar was more of a veg dal — no resemblance to what it’s supposed to be. yes, it’s cheap. but cheap and bad is still a waste of money. the attitude alone is enough reason never to return. if you value your money, your time, or just basic respect as a customer — skip this one.”

  “Very busy but sort of "cantine" atmosphere, not helped by the lack of service by the waiter who is stingy with words and smiles. The fact you have to write down your own order is not a problem if you are actually explained to do so. So we waited until we actually got it. Large choice of vegan dishes which possibly explains why it is so busy but, regrettably, the food was bland. No alcohol license but they operate on BYO (fine if you know) but no tap water served at the table either. They got our simple bill of 4 items wrong by £9 which we had to insist to prove and no apologies made when they gave us our change back. No card payment either (which is fine if you know). Very minimalist to the point of being spartan. Never again for us.”

  “This is one of our favourite restaurants and it never disappoints — the food is always excellent and the staff are friendly. As a vegetarian, I think it’s a true gem, and my boyfriend who isn’t vegetarian loves it too. The exotic Thai is a must-try dish. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and we always leave happy and full. 😊”

  “We’ve been coming to this restaurant for about five years now and it’s usually been a great go to spot. However, since their renovation, the service and food has really slipped. We ordered some poppadoms which in most Indian restaurants come with an array of dips and onions. This one only came with a teaspoon of mango chutney. Also the food came out a different times so some peoples food was cold when other peoples food was on the table. While the price is good, The food tastes quite bland. It’s a shame because it’s usually a really good spot so I hope it improves again.”

  “It’s quite an odd set up. We were given a piece of paper and a pen but I thought it was for the waiter. We sat there for a good 20min without being served so flagged the waitress who said we have to write our own orders down and hand it back to her. The menu items aren’t numbered, so you have to literally write out every starter, curry, side dish and drinks you want by hand. Needlessly time consuming. The food was pretty good but came out bit by bit and fairly slow. Especially as there were only 2 tables occupied. At the end, we were given our paper back with the amounts written down. It didn’t seem correct but I had to leave. I got my card out and was told cash only. They advised me where the local cash point was so I walked down the street but one of the numbers didn’t work on the machine so I couldn’t take money out. Had to walk back to the restaurant and get my wife to go out and get the money. So much hassle. Can’t believe a business that’s been around for 30-40 years has cash only and requires you to write out your own tickets for the kitchen staff. Seems kind of dodgy… Food is pretty good though and it’s always rammed.”

  “Amazing authentic South Indian food that caters to everyone! Most of the menu is vegan and non-vegan options are labeled as such on the menu. The food is heavenly (I highly recommend their saag, dosa, and bhel puri) and the people were very welcoming. It is a casual dining spot with affordable prices and great food, meaning it’s usually packed. Added bonus is that the place is BYOB with a bare minimum corkage charge. Bring wine to share with friends and you’re good to go!”

  “Quite an informal place to eat but with plenty on the menu to offer that will cater pretty much everyone. I would say this is one of those places that is best enjoyed as a group as you can order almost infinite dished to share and try. The only downside is that it gets pretty cramped and perhaps a bit too loud so not a place for a romantic date. They take only cash so remember to withdraw money beforehand”

  “Okayish! I felt it is overhyped! Not that hygienic. The portions are good but something was missing in the taste. They only accept cash, which they mentioned when they brought they bill that I had to go n withdraw at 11pm to be able to pay! The uncle is sweet but the aunty is a little rude/ strict. The pani puri I would recommend, rest items can be skipped also the dal was so oily! The food lacked salt and Indian flavours! But works wonders for the locals but just not for me!”
