Customer Review Summary
The mixed tawa platter is what most reviewers come for, described as a grill selection with curries, rice, chips and naan, with sauces, and several call the grilled items fresh. One reviewer who ordered the mixed tawa for two found the portion more than enough, while another praises the BBQ plates and a gyro with juicy, tender meat. A dessert cart also draws praise. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful, and one reviewer notes a single server who was quick and efficient. Complaints are specific. One reviewer found the dining hall hot, with no fans or exhaust and kitchen smoke and fumes drifting in, leaving their face wet with sweat. Another called the food a bit salty, and a papri chaat did not impress one diner. One reviewer reports dirty tables, dry and bland food served at different times, and an unclean toilet. Another says the interior needs some care, though the authentic taste outweighed it. A regular who stops by when driving through Luton notes the late hours and fresh food, and that the only stumbling block is that payment is cash only.

“I visited this place with my partner, and it was one of the worst dining experiences we've had. The tables were dirty when we arrived, which didn't create a good first impression. Our food was brought out at different times instead of being served together, so one of us was left waiting while the other ate. The food itself was very disappointing. It didn't seem as fresh as advertised online and tasted dry, bland, and lacking in flavour. Based on our experience, it felt more like it had been prepared in advance rather than made fresh. The toilets were in a disgusting state. There was faeces visible, the smell was overwhelming, and the whole area felt unhygienic. Overall, this restaurant did not live up to the image it promotes online. We left extremely disappointed and won't be returning. I wouldn't recommend it based on our experience.”
