    Great find in Covent Garden! The menu was very helpful and showed which dish would be more of a “curry” style as in would be in sauce and which would not be. I had the butter chicken (medium spicy) and naan. So good!

    A bit of a chaotic dining experience. There were lots of servers but not all that helpful, some of the dishes were extremely dry, and they forgot to bring raita and chutneys to accompany. Typical Covent Garden tourist restaurant, not the best for foodies.
