We arrived without a booking at 6.15 on a Saturday night and despite being mega busy, were squeezed into a window table for 2. We both had a starter each, a curry and then shared a naan and a rice. The food was absolutely fantastic. Full of flavour and my king prawns were huge. The large Cobra was over 8 quid a bottle which seemed a bit much but drinking with a meal was a novelty for me so maybe thats the norm these days. The only downside for us was just the relentless high volume due to the closeness of the tables. Not a lot can be done about that, but consider the time you are eating and for a romantic meal for 2, maybe half 6 on a Saturday night at Christmas isn't the best idea ha. Would deffo be back again though, look forward to my next visit.
We went here for lunch to celebrate my friends party as a group of 10 here and we had a blast! The staff were very kind, attentive, and accommodating when I was speaking on the phone with them to make reservations and in person. The food was amazing as well; their lunch offer is very filling and worth it. The atmostphere and decor were also pretty and enjoyable. I will definitely be back again. Thank you to our waiter, the manager and Federico!
Absolutely 10/10, was so close to cleaning the plate with my tongue. The food and the staff were so amazing, we had the pan fried sea bass and the coconut pepper lamb and oh my god. The sea bass was gorgeously cooked, sat in a plate of butter sauce seasoned to perfection. I was a bit worried about the lamb as it's notoriously easy to cheap out or cook wrong, but no. It was unreal, slow cooked and melting in the mouth. The pepper and coconut seasoning was honestly indescribable and you just had to be there. The restaurant is fully booked a lot so I'd recommend checking the bookings online.
Great food and a great concept. You can have large plates or a selection of small plates giving you lots of choice to mix and match meals. The food choices are excellent and everything we had was rich in flavour and very tasty.
Great place to eat. I went without a reservation and the manager got me a 2 seat table within 10 mins . The starters were amazing especially the mango bhel and then the vada pawn . The madras main dish with steamed rice was delicious but not to spicy . The dessert gulab jamun with ice cream was the best part along with the masala chai. The place was buzzing with people. What an amazing atmosphere. Service was quick and friendly. Baba gave some great recommendations. I would highly recommend this establishment for friends and family to come and eat and drink.
Went for dinner on a wednesday, no reservation, we got a table right away, restaurant was almost full. The food is surprising, the flavour and textures are great. We were with a friend ftom mumbai an he says most things taste the same. Doesnt get better than this. Congrats! Its a great place with friendly people.
Called in for lunch during shopping trip, no reservation required and shown straight to a table. We were served by friendly staff and helpful with our choices. The wife chose chicken tikka wrap and I plumped for smashed lamb burger. Both came fairly quickly and were really enjoyable. We will call again
Sensational, spicy, seriously recommend. Went early lunch time on a Saturday. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Attentive throughout the meal without being intrusive. Food was amazing. Yes, it's pricier than some but I have never had food this good at any other establishment. Never again will I look at broccoli the same way, as their smoked broccoli was so tasty. Same with the okra fries. Totally worth ordering. Their recommendation of 3 small plates and 1 side was spot on. I ordered more and it was too much food for me, although absolutely delicious. The food had some spiciness but in a way that it was designed to enhance the flavour, and not just for the sake of heat. Everything I ate was delicious, including every sauce, and lovely fresh side salads. If I was local enough to go back, I would love to try other menu items. I will not forget this place in a hurry, and have even made some word-of-mouth recommendations to friends in the area.
