On this occasion it was Rakhi which is a busier than normal day. The Owner with the beard had one slow person working alongside him. I waited outside nearly 20 minutes and there was only 2 people in-front of me in the queue. It got to the point both of them were ignoring the customers outside to serve Uber or deliveroo drivers. I said to the owner your to slow and you should prioritise people waiting outside on the street in 36 degrees heat, he didn’t care and carried on with serving the deliveroo driver. His excuse was that only 2 people were allowed behind the counter. But 2/3 Uber drivers are allowed in the shop at the same time without masks, that makes sense! In the past I allowed writing a bad review for this place as their sweets are the best in the area even after I got served Pakoras drowned in salt. I called and highlighted this to the owner he said he will refund me on my next visit, this didn’t happen. But this time with the bad slow service then stinking attitude from the owner count yourself I can’t rate you lower than 1!

Masala chai was okay, could've had some ginger to make it amazing. Felt that kachori, samosa and nankhataee were a little under-baked. We were lucky to get a seat upon arrival. Short waiting time after ordering. Food arrived hot and aromatic. Bhature were not oily. Parathe had the correct amount of butter. Quantity of chhole was perfect. Loved my brunch and will return for sure!

Best Amritsari Kulche and Cholley i ate in London so far period.

That said, one or two other mithai we ordered were not nice, with a super strong smell of milk and sick sweet.

There was black pepper in the hakka noodles... they really need to hire a better chef. read more Worst dahi balle I have ever tasted... total waste of money!!!
