Open since 1985, this delightful, unpretentious restaurant in Forest Hill, London, is renowned for its stunning and innovative modern Indian cuisine.

Hidden off Tottenhamcourt Rd this is a real find with an extensive vegetarian menu. Vegan have a menu of their own which is an exciting option not usually available & there are plenty of dishes which overlap. The food is delicious & varied & the service was excellent.
