I like this place. Good service. Owner is fab. Food is pretty good. A little more salt for the soul would be good. A nice fun spot to sit outside and watch the Prospect life come alive. I would go back for sure.

Pretty disappointing overall. Had to wait about an hour for our food to arrive, and when it did it was....ok. Tried 5 different dishes and non of them stood out as something that would bring us back. If you're going to charge premium prices, the food better live up to it as well but unfortunately it didn't. Anyone who thinks this place is a top indian restaurant in Adelaide probably hasn't tried many places. There are places that have twice as good food for half the price. Overall, very disappointing :(

Decent range on the menu. Food is good, but nothing special considering the pricing. Atmosphere is perhaps a little tense. Wines are also overpriced - especially corkage! Wait staff are polite.

I've never been motivated to write a review until I've been here. I have never experienced any worse service. it took well to arrive over an hour after the order for food. when we complained to the waiter, one of the chefs came out and called us. I said we didn't come back and he said it wasn't less important to me. a terrible evening that could not enjoy the meal from wut.

Poppy broke into the sharpeners on the prospection. he won't come back, that's safe. average food, average service. unfortunately they can see directly into the kitchen where the cooks. I don't think I saw a dirty kitchen. it was a terrible scene. pope directly from his meal say what. there were also flying in the inner flying around my dishes and the kitchen. oh, my God. eating was not decent Indian cuisine to begin. decor is ok, but building could be with a clean one. it is not worth eating, will not return
