• "Starters are much better than mains and their cocktails aren’t great (far too weak and diluted)."

• "It wasn't a good experience for us this time. The service was really really bad nobody was attending our table."
• "Wish I could give 0 star. I am very disappointed we’re vegetarian and we ordered Kadhi Paneer Dal Roti and Jeera rice for take away and we clearly mentioned on phone that we’re vegetarian so make sure Food is cooked nicely. When we reached home and opened the parcel it was chicken curry we were shocked as we are vegetarian we don’t even eat Egg and he gave us chicken had to throw the whole food and we left hungry all night."
• "Went back to this restaurant after a long time had guest come over so we thought we'll bring them here such a big mistake the food is definitely not as good as when we first started going there, the mix Grill was overcooked and everything tasted really dry only dish we enjoyed was the Gul Gappe and the manchurian chicken even the main first class mutton didn't taste as good as it used to and the dal makhani was awful, worst £200 i have ever wasted in my life."

Great service overall. Keep it up. Will recommend my friends and family to visit the place. Thank u taka tak team. ( 8th may)"
• "Pathetic service. Ordered through Uber but the restaurant took over an hour to prepare the food and then delivered the food through one of their delivery guy who had 2 more orders to deliver owing to which my order was delayed massively. Never ordering from this place again"
