Went for the first time today, I will definitely be back! I love Indian food and everything was so delicious, the smells hit you as soon as you walk in. Was a lovely atmosphere, very busy but the food was quick. Cocktails were really well priced as they were £5.50 and were quite big and strong compared to other places in the area that charge £8 for weak cocktails. Can’t wait to come back and try more things on the menu! (I got onion, spinach and kale Bhaji chicken momo for starter and the chef special Thali)

The service here was very slow. We had to ask multiple times to pay and there was a long wait on ordering and getting our food. I wouldn’t mind but it was not busy at that time. However, the food was nice and well presented and the staff were helpful. I also liked the vibe and atmosphere. Meal type: Dinner
