Decided to order takeout instead, but have noticed that something is always missing in the last few orders - last time it was the starter. The manager apologized and fixed the mistake, but I'm starting to think that this restaurant is either declining in quality or they simply do not care anymore.

We received good service and opted for the early dinner menu. I started with the seekh kebab, which was perfectly cooked and served with a refreshing salad. For my main course, I chose the Chicken Bhuna with lemon rice, which was a decent portion size with delicious flavors. The other family member also enjoyed their meal, and we appreciated the polite service and relaxed atmosphere.

The service was fabulous by a very polite and professional waiter with blue eyes (I'm not sure of his name). The schedules of our incoming, main dishes, desserts and coffee were perfect. There were big groups that came after us, but our food was still on time. The areas of the bar above are really nice with an outdoor heated terrace, but mostly previously reserved with parties. I've noticed that service in one night is different from that that maybe during the day you need more communication between the kitchen and the waiters. Some waiters are young and forget what he said or what he asked. I have to say that management does everything possible to solve the problems that occur. This is a busy place at night that needs a little more order. The pianist is an excellent touch for your food and different from most restaurants. The new dessert counter is very nice, the chocolate and orange cake is amazing along with its selections of cheese and ice cream cakes. My favorite dish is Fish Tikka and the chicken tikka kebab at lunch time has an excellent value for money. If you want a quiet meal go during the day or lunch time. . . for more atmosphere, nights are good or even for a drink at the bar.

Given the current climate, we both feel very confident about Covid because of all the measures the restaurant had put in place. All the staff wore visors and masks and hand disinfection stations were located in all the right places.Our Qadir bartender was really sensible, bubbling and very attentive. Because of Covid, they didn't have what we originally asked for (we weren't very hungry and we just came to start) and the machli bahadur was a recommendation from our waiter. What can I say? Subtle flavors simply burst into your mouth, not like your usual doughnut fish. Cheese, shrimp and asparagus were a perfect complement to the eglefinus and were a pleasant touch on an Asian dish. We also take an aloo parantha and if, like me, you are sweet, you know divine with mango chutney!In general, it is a great place to eat, either with friends, family or couple. Very recommended. We'll definitely try more of your dishes again.
