The buffet is compact, but has great variety. There are two kinds of bread, three chutneys and a pickle, and a great selection of main dishes with rice. I recall 3 vegetarian dishes, a noodle dish (also vegetarian), cauliflower pakoras, and two meat stews. There was also an excellent yogurt dessert. The warmth of the welcome and the comfortable atmosphere added to the experience. This is a great place for good, affordable food near the cathedral.

Food was very nice and reasonably priced, very friendly, easy to find and get to from the cathedral square read more Food was very nice and reasonably priced, very friendly, easy to find and get to from the cathedral square

Not knowing what to expect, we ordered samosas, paneer saag and one of the dhals. While not at all hot spicy like some Indian versions, the food was flavoursome and plentiful for two people. We were very pleased we stopped - the service was quick and helpful. We would be happy to go back again and try some of the other dishes when we next visit.

Excellent restaurant, authentic food and very nice atmosphere! Great for carnivors and vegans alike!! read more Excellent restaurant, authentic food and very nice atmosphere! Great for carnivors and vegans alike!!

Service was the huge turn off, staff member who took orders was constantly coughing through the evening.
