Back in 2019 when on a trip to London I chanced upon this place. 5years have passed and I was here again to relive the best Indian cuisine experience I've had in this area. Unbelievably, the quality, taste and vibe of the place has remained unchanged in the past 5 years - A fat five star rating for their consistency.

A quaint little place, with an extremely colourful vibe. The food is scrumptious, typical Indian flavours and so glad the flavours weren't toned down or varied to suit the geography. The malai chicken tikka was cooked to perfection, despite it being a tandoori dish the chicken was so soft, juicy and tender with absolutely no hints of dryness or chewiness. The shrimp fry seasoned with curry leaves was spot on. The Lucknow biryani was flavourful and oh my god a special mention to the raita that accompanied it. That's a one of a kind raita I've had, it was a delicate pink but bursting with flavours. Strangely I can't remember a time when I've enjoyed a dip/raita this much in a really long time.

Lastly, I would recommend making table reservations

Super grateful we got to experience their afternoon tea. I would bring all my visiting friends here and even brave the tourist district myself just to eat here. The food was delicious. Both unique and traditional blended.

WOW. The atmosphere, the food, the EVERYTHING. Everything was like a flavour explosion in my mouth in the best way. There were fantastic food pairings that I never would have expected to be good, but everything we had was exceptional!

The staff was incredibly kind, and I loved the soft, relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. I cannot wait to go back!

My recent dining experience at was an absolute delight, filled with intriguing flavors that beautifully married traditional Indian dishes with innovative twists.

From the moment we stepped through the door, the warm welcome from the staff set the tone for the evening. Each member of the team was genuinely interested in ensuring that we had the best possible experience, and their attentive service added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

The menu boasted a tantalizing array of dishes that promised to challenge our taste buds, and we were not disappointed. The fusion of interesting flavors with classic Indian fare was executed with finesse, creating a culinary journey that left a lasting impression.

One standout dishs that truly stole the show were the double cooked pork belly and jungle chicken curry cooked to perfection, infused with aromatic spices that danced on the palate. It was a true testament to the creativity and skill of the chef behind the scenes.

In addition to the exceptional food, the ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and comfortable, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The attention to detail in every aspect of our visit, from the decor to the presentation of the dishes, further enhanced the overall enjoyment of the evening.

The atmosphere is mind blowing and the food to die for. We struck a prix fixe deal online that included a starter, main, and dessert. The waiter was extremely nice, the service was very fast, the food and drinks really tasty. No complaints here. A must try!

Wow! I wish Google allowed more than 5 stars for this outstanding establishment!

Today, we indulged in the Desi afternoon tea, and it was a culinary delight from start to finish.

The service was impeccable; the lady attending to us was incredibly polite and attentive, enhancing our overall experience.

Every starter burst with authentic Indian flavours; the samosa chaat and pani puri were particularly outstanding. The chicken spring rolls were infused with a myriad of spices, creating a symphony of flavours. And let's not forget the cheesecake - delicate and light, it was the perfect conclusion to our meal.

The floor manager was equally commendable, ensuring our comfort throughout our visit and even surprising us with a complimentary anniversary treat.

I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment and look forward to returning soon.
