    The King Prawn Malaikari is rich, creamy, and tastes like it came straight from a coastal kitchen. Loved every bite

    We ordered two bhuna dishes, one lamb and the other veg. The veg one was not particularly spicy so I mentioned this to the guy and within 5 mins it came back and the spice was much hotter... in fact totally perfect! Super friendly and delicious food. Cheap also, especially being in the middle of London Cant recommend it enough!
