Ambiance and Setting

Pros:

  • "The cafe style was reminiscent of Dishoom, but the prices much more affordable."
  • "The Bollywood posters from 60s and 70s lend a nostalgic feel to it."
  • "Dining in feels more canteen than fancy restaurant but that was perfect for us."

Cons:

  • "It's a humble little place - if you like big fancy restaurants with table cloths and umpteen wine glasses this might not be for you."
  • "OK so it's pretty basic and largely a take away/delivery place."
  • "It is more of a takeaway than a restaurant."

Delivery and Takeaway Experience

Pros:

  • "You can either dine in or opt for take away or even get it delivered."
  • "The service was quick (I ordered for collection) and food was ready in 10 minutes to collect."
  • "Delivery was fast and friendly too."
  • "We started with the samosas, followed by the lamb and chicken curries with a side of daal. Everything arrived hot and tasted delicious."

Cons:

  • "Their portions are not really big either."
  • "I ordered the rang birangi chips which turned up in a very oily bag, and were sadly stale."
  • "I also ordered the samosas chaat which turned up with the yogurt pretty much dried on the samosas."
  • "I ordered some fries, which came in a plastic box. They tend to sweat in boxes and go soggy."
