We love it here - altho very cold inside for our lunch, the waiter was very confused when taking from the very simple fixed lunch menu.

Very friendly waiter and waitresses. Nicely presented dishes. Love their starter basket of crips and yummy homemade chutney!! Nan bread is freshly baked with an aromatic flavour.

Really enjoyed this place. The food was fantastic. Definitely not your typical Indian restaurant (in a good way). A touch on the pricey side, but good service and worth it, frankly. Recommend.

Food quality disappointing. Chilli heat codes on menu misleading. Both 1 chilli and 3 chilli tasted like 2 chilli.

The staff of this restaurant either does not care or is not equipped to deal with the amount of parties they accept at any given time slot. We were seated in an ice cold basement, with the only source of heat being a plug-in radiator next to a very large party with five screaming children. The noise level was beyond acceptable for an establishment that supposedly has a Michelin mention and features elegant dining. When we asked if we could be seated in a different area, we were refused. There were many empty tables where we could’ve sat and finished before any upcoming bookings arrived. The staff also charged for extra appetizers that we did not ask for, but they brought to the table anyway. There was a complete lack of care for our comfort and in any hospitality at this establishment. And generally, this place is in disrepair. Heat does not function properly, there were extension cords, and lamps plugged in all over the place, which was a tripping hazard. The washroom was dirty. Do not recommend at all.
