A fantastic find for us, just south of Vauxhall Underground. The food is amazing and dishes are different to the normal Indian restaurant offering (although the classics are still there). It wasn't just the freshness of the food though, the staff were warm and friendly. We will definitely be back the next time we are in London

The best Indian food ever!! Great staff who are so friendly. Ordered Chicken Tikka, Butter Chicken, and garlic Nan and it did not disappoint. So flavorful and delicious. I’d come back & recommend everyone to try this place!!

Fab service! Was seated very quickly and food was delicious. I recommend the samosa chat and aubergine side. Great range of vegetarian options also.

Great service! The food was pretty good, only a little salty but still quite good.

The restaurant was nice and peaceful. Staff very professional.

I ordered the lamb rogan josh, rice and complimentary naan.

The food is prepared with an extra special touch. Just look at their samosa.
Service is consistently excellent as well. I love this restaurant!

Oh my goodness. What a great dining experience. This was my first visit to an Indian restaurant in London.

To start off, I found the ambience to be nice but it started to get cold outside and I could feel it a bit inside. We were sitting close to the windows. If you get cold quickly, I recommend sitting somewhere more in the center of the restaurant. The place is clean, the service was great. We even enjoyed a little story telling about the place and the owner by one of the service staff. Very lovely people.

The food was delicious. The sticky tamarind wings' marinade was so tasty and rich in flavour my tummy sang a song of joy. It literally made me cry. Could have licked the plates clean. Also the Samosa Chat was mouthwatering. The sauces on top were incredible. I usually do not like (fresh) coriander but the green sauce, which also included coriander, gave it an extra touch. Not too strong and complementary to the samosa. Delish!

For the main course we had Lamb Curry and Mumbai Ka Murga (chicken). Both dishes were spicy. We like to eat spicy food and I felt it had the right amount of spice. Nice tickle, bit of a runny nose. But still able to taste all the spices. The Mumbai Ka Murga sauce was flavoursome and had many different spices. Loved the sauce. Absolutely mouthwatering. The lamb was great! It was so soft it fell apart. Absolutely delicious. The lamb curry was more spicy than the chicken dish.

The brownie at the end could have been more juicy and moist. The ice cream on top was a good addition.

All in all, we were absolutely happy with our experience there. We'll definitely come back during our next visit to London. 🥰

I ordered the Mumbai Ka Murga, it was delicious, just the right amount of spice. The poppadoms and garlic naan were fresh, and the accompaniments were tasty.
The servers were attentive and pleasant.
The bill was around £33 for one person, which included a glass of wine.
The restaurant is small and there was a loud table of ladies filling the room with their conversation. It was around 5pm.
I would definitely go back.
