Customer Review Summary
Momos draw the most praise, especially the chilli momos, which several diners single out. One reviewer came for an unlimited momos offer and liked the sauce. Close behind are the naan and bread, called perfection and world class, and the curries, including chicken lassani and chicken sag. Others mention prawn appetizers and sticky honey mango king prawns. Reviewers describe the menu as Nepalese, with the usual Indian staples as well. Service is called friendly, polite, attentive and fast, and the atmosphere calm and cosy. One reviewer says the room itself isn't all that and suits the food and people more than the looks. Another says the price is as expected but they were happy to pay it. Small touches recur: poppadoms to start, chocolates at the end, and a waiter finding a vase for flowers a table had brought. One diner on crutches was led by the manager to more comfortable seating without having to ask.

“Came for their unlimited momos offer and had a fantastic time. The staff are really friendly and super attentive. The momos were delicious with a great sauce. Also lots of really nice small touches (poppadoms to start, chocolates at the end, the waiter finding us a vase to put some flowers we’d brought in). 10/10 will be back and highly recommend to anyone”
