• "Food was so so. Services very slow, and personally staff were not good."
• "Ordered - Tandoori Paneer Kati Roll x 3, Schezwan Noodles x1, Schezwan Fried Rice x1 and Veg Manchurian. The veg manchurian was swimming in oil and gravy that tastes like watered down tomato puree. Just not edible!"

Service

Pros:

• "The service was great and really quick."
• "Very accommodating staff. Excellent service throughout."
• "Service was nice and food amazing."

Cons:

• "Services were slow my friends order unlimited Thali for everything they have to wait a long."
• "Went in for dinner at 9:20pm and closing hours on the door was 10:30pm. Was rushed to order all food at once, food was delivered around 9:35 and was told to finish eating the food in 15 minutes at 9:55 pm as the staff said they have to close the restaurant."
• "The waiters were more about listening to songs than serving their customers and making sure they are comfortable."
• "Restaurant itself was cold - everyone had their jackets on but staff didn't seem to care. Service was very average."
• "Poor service and unprofessional staff. Avoid this place!!!"

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Overall, food quality was good for the cost."
• "Good value for money and definitely go there again."
• "Food was really good, though on the slightly pricier end, included a variety of starters, mains, single dessert and tea, along with free soft drinks."
• "The food was always tasty with very short waiting times. I would recommend the paneer butter masala curry and the Sholay Baturas."
• "Good value/ reasonably priced. MASSIVE selection."

Cons:

• "The pricing is very expensive for the food. Just for 2 of us the bill came up to £70 and then on top of that they charged us Service Charge which was 12.5% and it was about £8.70 which is ridiculous."
• "On the flip side, the bill came as a bit of a surprise. We paid approx £130 for 4 adults and 4 children, which was way higher than we expected."
• "Too expensive, and I only had Nimbu Pani, but it was just unnecessary to spend nearly £10 for a Nimbu Pani and Nimbu soda."
• "Food on the pricey side... so not great value for money."
• "Overpriced for the Rayners Lane location."

Ambiance and Environment

Pros:

• "The place is good, clean. Lot many options in menu from starters to sizzlers and other main dishes."
• "The ambience is nice with good Indian Bollywood Music, and service is quick and hospitable."
• "Busy, lively, bright and noisy restaurant. Good food with generous portions."
• "The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and welcoming, with bright lights and colorful decor that transports you straight to the bustling streets of Mumbai."
• "Nice atmosphere, nicely decorated, clean, service from one of the female waitresses was on point."

Cons:

• "Restaurant itself was cold - everyone had their jackets on but staff didn't seem to care."
• "Came into the restaurant for dinner today! The door in the restaurant does not close properly and they have seating right next to the doors and in this cold weather my family and I had to sit with our coats on including other families that were having dinner!"
• "Tables close to each other, so probably not a great place for a romantic dinner."
• "The restaurant was too cramped with too many tables."
• "The only good part of the restaurant was the staff member who served and took the order, nothing else! She was polite and courteous. Restaurants smells of oil and women who work their are too busy talking amongst themselves and don't really care about customers."
