This stylish but unpretentious restaurant on Gloucester Road is well known for its friendly staff and home-style Indian cooking.

Booked a table for 6. On arrival offered an entertainment room upstairs where it was lounge seating and you could play your own music. It was fun but with hindsight we missed out on a restaurant vibe and there was live music downstairs too. Good was really good but it thought it was expensive. Great location as we were heading to NHM after for silent disco.
