The decor was nice, and the service was very attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, that's about all I liked about this place. We ordered the pani puri, which was bland. There was no spice or tamarind flavour that I could detect. The buttr chickn was unforgiveably sweet, there was a noticeable coconut flavour at first taste. I didn't finish it and took some home, thinking the addition of chilli oil would cover the sweetness. It did not. The chikn pieces (soy based) were quite spongy in texture. They said the naan bread could be veganised (by not brushing it with butter/ghee afterwards), and it was fine, understandably slightly dry, but I was glad to have saved the calories, and the dryness didn't matter as I was dipping it in the buttr chikn. But it also meant I couldn't have a garlic naan. (The roti was already vegan, but I always prefer naan bread).

You have the option to choose between mild, medium, or hot for each dish. Book club night and BYO policy make it an affordable dining option. The food is served quickly and hot, with excellent service. I would highly recommend this restaurant for its great value and authentic cuisine.
