We had poppadoms followed by a couple of slightly unusual chicken dishes with rice and naan bread. For drink we had lassi and other soft drinks. The food is super quality and not too expensive. Service is very friendly and attentive.

I had my eye on one of the chef's specials, but the waiter informed us that it would take 45 minutes or more to prepare, even though the menu stated 25 minutes. We ended up ordering other dishes instead, including lamb mince and chicken, which were both very delicious. Our lemon rice and naan were also excellent. The jug of lassi we ordered was tasty, although it seems that most diners bring their own alcohol.

I specifically asked for no peppers in one of the dishes, but it came with peppers anyways. When I called to inquire about the missing items, they told me to come back and they would have them ready, but they did not offer to deliver them to us. We used to dine in regularly at this restaurant, but after this disappointing experience and their unhelpful attitude, we have decided never to return. We ended up cooking the rice ourselves and warming up some wraps. Overall, it was a very disappointing meal.
