A slightly different take on North Indian food from the classic British Indian restaurant, and that's a good thing. Chaat style starters rather than the usual pakora or bhajis. Tandoori tikka options are absolutely delicious, and come with a choice of interesting sauces. Achari tikka is absolutely delicious. Draught Kingfisher, which can disappoint elsewhere, was in top condition.
