    After a day out in nearby National gallery we went for late lunch for 3 of us. Received good service. Stuff are helpful. Ambience is good. But overall food was too ordinary and underwhelming. We took Veg Thali, Meat Thali and Paneer and Basmati rice. Apart from Naan nothing felt a quality food. Wouldn't recommend neither would return. If anyone is after quick cheap food then this place is the right place i.e. £24 or £25 would get you a big Indian platter which you would struggle to finish because of the amount of food they will serve. But if your'e after quality food then search somewhere else as London has plenty to offer.

    "\\We stumbled upon Paro while visiting Covent Garden and ended up having one of our best meals in London. Not too formal, but still felt like a treat. Highly recommend the lamb bold, bright flavours and so satisfying.
