• "We ordered daal and chole as well as masala chips, chicken biryani with some parathas. Really decently priced meal for five of us and really nice and filling."

Cons:

• "The food portions are small and they are not very generous with the amount of meat in the curries."
• "The food tastes nowhere close to authentic Indian."
• "The food wasn't temperature hot, and was even cold in places. Very bland and not at all what I'd expect from a good Indian restaurant."
• "The food was absolutely divine with a variety of vegan options - the kumbh palak in particular was to die for!"
• "The food tasted good but it wasn't fresh."
• "The food is very tasty. It is unlike other restaurants in Cambridge most of which are Bangladeshi restaurants and have large unauthentic list of dishes."
• "Food was good and plentiful, downside was I wasn't told my starter could take 45 minutes so I was left watching my wife and our guest tuck into food whilst I waited."
