    The pure passion and love shown by Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala and their team in creating the most wonderful dining experience is truly amazing. The food is out of this world and I would highly recommend to anyone that wants to experience “authentic” Indian cuisine..

    This restaurant offers an interesting selection of complex Indian dishes - it's not your average Indian restaurant by any means. We enjoyed our meal very much and will certainly visit again.

    Once again an excellent experience. Staff are the best, polite, friendly, helpful, so good at their jobs. Food exemplary, flavours, textures, immaculate mixture of spices. Menu choices are so varied it’s difficult to make a choice, but whatever you choose you won’t be disappointed. A must.

    More like a tapas style small plate sharing experience the food was excellent but not small portions as you may expect so don’t order loads but keep ordering if needed. Food was out of this world

    We were a group of seven and enjoyed being able to share from the various small plates that we had. Even so, there were plenty of other options on the menu that we wanted to try so will be back soon

    As always an excellent lunch. The venison tikka and venison curry together with the beetroot starter were fantastic. We had an aubergine side dish which had a bit too much garlic for my taste.
