    All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely menu, clearly well thought out. The food was absolutely beautiful and super tasty. I had the veg platter which was stunning. My friend the lamb biryani which she said was melt in the mouth tender. Good value for money and good portion sizes, especially in Leicester Square. Will definitely eat there again.

    The food was great but the service was terrible. We waited an hour to get any food despite notifying staff multiple times and other guests that arrived later than us receiving both starters and main courses before we received anything. The manager then tried to blame the chef.

    Excellent food and service. Although the restaurant is small and tight to move around, this is typical for Soho and actually gives a cosy feel. I really enjoyed the authenticity of the food. I would definitely want to go back.

    Only comment I would make is that the space is very tight, especially the tables for 2 They would benefit from having a coat stand, especially for this time of year. Food was delicious, authentic & not greasy, which as someone who has had the privilege of growing up with homecooked Indian food, was really great.

    We visited with friends and a kid. Ordered a non veg platter which had well done kebabs and dips. We ordered lassi and masala chas which was nice but over priced for the small kullhad in which they were served. We ordered an awadhi and a lucknawi biryani. Both were delicious and had well marinated meats. However they both tasted exactly the same. Quantities were good too and one pot biryani easily serves 2 people.

    I discovered this restaurant through a YouTube recommendation and it absolutely impressed me in terms of the food taste. The curries really are delicious and I have visited several times.
