2/10Overrated doesn’t even start describing this place. We waited 20 minutes in the freezing cold to the table we booked in advance, together with many other people - all with reservations! The place was small and crowded. Made it a very unpleasant experience as if we were sitting with the people in the two tables from both our sides. They practically needed to move tables(!) to let guests in and out of their seats. Food was mediocre at most and overpriced. You can find much better food in almost any small authentic Indian restaurant. Would never go back there again.

4/10We had to wait out in the cold for our table that I had booked. Then the waiter wasn’t interested in taking our order kept looking around, while we was telling him what we wanted . We received starters quickly but dinner didn’t turn up and had to ask what was happening. Food was cold so had to be taken back. Food was really good couldn’t fault that but not a great time. Very small restaurant as well. Will not be going back again. Was apologised to for the error and inconvenience caused not a place to eat for me again

8/10The problem with this restaurant is they pack too many people in. You virtually have to climb over tables to get to the WC. Food’s alright but it’s claustrophobic

7/10The starters were good but the main course was way too sweet especially for a North Indian. I ordered dishes with 2 chillies which means they were supposed to be spicy but it was still very sweet for my palette . When I confronted the hotel about this, they were still trying to defend it rather than accepting. I would not visit the place again as I have had far better Indian food in and around London.

10/10My kids say it was the best Indian food they have ever had and they eat a lot of Indian cuisine. We loved the food, the service and ambiance! It also is a great location - just blocks away from Piccadilly Circus!

4.5/10Food had a lot of coloring in it, and the taste and ambience were definitely lacking.

8.5/10The food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly. The only downside was the speed of the service, though it was fairly busy. The restaurant is family friendly but note that they don’t have any high chairs for young children and there is not much space in the restaurant — no room for a pram/stroller.

8/10
Booked and on entrance, my partner and I were welcomed and seated right away. It was busy so glad we booked. The staff were polite and friendly. Our waiter was Nayem, who ensured we were seen to at all times. Food is good value for money and filling. Service was quick and would suggest to pace it down especially from starter to main in order to allow us have some time to digest what we’ve eaten. We had suggested 5 mins however the 5 mins appeared to go quickly. The atmosphere was good, would suggest a potential AC/ Fan machine for back of the restaurant as it did feel quite warm. However this would not discourage us from returning. The playlist in the restaurant was very good! Would recommend!

9.5/10This is without a doubt the best Indian food I have ever had! So fresh and the flavors are masterfully blended. Pricey but you get what you pay for. The service was also exceptional. Trying to figure out how we can return before the trip is over!

7/10Food was fine but table was a bit cramped and found it a bit strange that some menus differed from others.

2/10Was told by the restaurant that they did not have our reservation despite showing confirmation email to them. They seated us after a 20 minute on table near the door that was freezing. Food got cold fast. Terrible experience.

9/10We always use this small authentic Indian restaurant when we come to London. It's very busy which is excellent and the food is very tasty. It's right by Liecter Square and its underground. Make sure you book in in peak times. Reasonably priced too. Thank you for looking after us

3/10Arrived & shown to an uncleared table. A new fresh tablecloth placed over a dirty, stained tablecloth. No cutlery or napkin placed on the table. Left for 15 minutes before being given menu. Service style was ask if they did not want to serve you. When asking about the menu very unhelpful. For example, the dish my partner usually eats was not the menu, so when asked no recommendations were given, just a blank expression. Food was OK, average at best. A mild chicken curry on the menu, was so hot had to leave half. Naan breads were served with pools of oil on top. Restaurant decor was very drab & dated. The facilities, well can only be described as disgusting. Bins overflowing with excrement covered paper & the smell of urine so overpowering it made you almost vomit. In fact, the only time the staff actually acknowledged us, was it when it was time to pay our bill & they wanted a good review. Would not recommend & certainly would not revisit!

6/10Service was great. Food not so much, if you're looking for anything approximating authentic. Maybe that's not a thing in a tourist area of London?

9.5/10
The restaurant food is excellent. The initial waiter was a bit new/ inexperienced but he found an experienced one really quickly to sort our questions. So I can't fault the service. One thing though is the VAT was added on to the prices in the menu so I thought that was a service charge which it wasn't so be carful with pricing.
