    It's okay. I wouldn't visit again as it all just felt very low effort and lackluster from the food (a little bland) to the decor (a bit cheesy) to the service (a bit CBA). No one did a table check after we received our food. I never really expect much from central restaurants and this is why. If you have the luxury of time I would just queue for Dishoom if it's Indian that you're after, same price point just everything executed 100 times better. If you do end up going, DONT order the roti, it's described as Malaysian roti, flakey and soft, what you actually get is a dusty naan bread. Overall super overpriced for what it was.
