    Your space is very small compared to your potential and quality of food. Think about it how you can expand. Food is really good expect for Laccha Paratha ... that is not what usually Laccha Paratha tastes and looks like. Maybe you do not have a tandoori so you cannot do it. Then don't call it laccha paratha .... all it something else Taste wise it is not bad. Other than that all the foods we ordered were very good.

    Galoti kebabs, biriyani excellent. Infact all items ordered was just cooked to perfection. Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff and very accommodating staff as we had arrived 20 mins late for our booking and the restaurant was busy.

    The food was good value for money! The roomali roti and Galouti kebabs were awesome as was the Karak Chai and the Chicken Kathi roll. However, I've had better Biryani elsewhere! The service folks were good but too eager to clear the plates from the table!

    Excellent North Indian restaurant next to Marble Arch for a quick and reasonably priced meal. Always a favourite when in that part of London. Recommended

    Probably one of the best Indian meals we’ve ever had in London. The Bhatti ka Murgh and Lamb Galouti kebabs are phenomenal! We also tried the Laknawi Lamb biriyani which was excellent too.

    Food is amazing, try Awadh lamb biryani for a delicious authentic biryani. Galouti kebabs are next level with spices and they simply melt in mouth.. absolutely great taste.. only downside in this branch is the awkward seating arrangement and space crunch
