    We ordered Bedgi chicken which was delicious. Veg Galouti kebab was also soft, could have been little more flavorful. Loved the garlic naan and the mango butter chicken. Was disappointed by Mishti Doi. This dish lacked flavor and texture. It was not curd like but rather chenna like. No jaggery,sugar etc made it very plain and bland. I have had misti doi in multiple places and this did not meet my expectations at all.

    Wonderfully inventive food - not your traditional Indian restaurant. The the papadam were especially impressive. Slightly haphazard service - made worse by the incredibly high noise level - everybody was shouting to be able to hear one another, which just made it worse. We chose to eat a mix of starter plates, which gave us a rich variety of tastes. But they all arrived at about the same time, so there wasn't space on the table for them., and the experience felt very rushed. Even though we hadn't ordered any mains ("big plates"), the items we ordered that would normally accompany them (naan, raita) were treated as the second course - we had to ask for them to be brought with the rest of the food. We visited in mid November. It was really cold, even though we were sitting indoors - and many fellow diners also kept their coats on, so it wasn't just us..

    Nice discovery while looking for local Indian food. Service was excellent and the “host” recommended a nice combo for my friend and me. Variety of beer and wine added to the experience. Highly recommend for food, service and general ambiance.
