    Everything just so so. Food was not great. The waiters fighting and swearing to each other was really awful.

    Food was okay but waiters spent most of their time chatting in and around the bar. Not very attentive, won't be back.

    The quality of food was average. Out of the 10 people that went for lunch, not one person gave a good review of the quality of the food. Also the time that it took to bring the food was too long.

    We had a lovely evening. Food was excellent and the service so friendly . They even gave us containers and bag so that we could take home what we couldn’t manage to eat in the moment. Really delicious food , beautifully presented. Thank you so much.

    The food was delicious but the service was not good. The waiter took our drinks order but forgot to take our food order. When the food order arrived he brought a vegetable thali instead of a vegetarian platter starter but insisted we had ordered the thali when we had definitely not ordered it. When we asked if we could take our left overs home he said they had no boxes. Wetold him we had seen others with take out boxes and he then brought boxes but we had to fill them ourselves. Very unhelpful and unfriendly

    Terrible service. It’s like they were doing us a favour by serving me food. The good was below average. Seemed like the place only runs because of its location and not on its capabilities.

    We were looking for a curry near Liverpool Street station, and this is 2 minutes away. Lovely place, friendly staff. We had a Thali each, which was a great selection of different dishes in little pots. Flavoursome with decent chunks of meat/fish. Will definitely go again.

    Great service and lovely food, but very quiet which was surprising for the location. Table for two (business meeting) and we both had the Thali, fabulous.

    We were sited at a table situated in the back of the restaurant. Unfortunately a group of six people sat just next to us and behaved in a very rude, noisy and disrespectful way. Aside from that, service was attentive to our needs and the food was ok but lacked a bit of refinement and flavour.

    Service ok. Food ok but not amazing. My meat was a bit dry, and another dish was just too “fiery” to eat and my beer was not very cold. Compared to other Indians I would say this it average.

    one of the dishes was not cooked properly so it was taken back and exchanged hence lower rating , There was no argument though the waiting staff were very efficient

    The food was good, the decor was nice, but... the reception by staff was off-hand, as if we were bothering them, Younger staff were more friendly.

    The Indian curries was with authentic. Not enough time was given to read the menu and decide what we wanted to have. We had to change our selected menu because we were requested to order a main each which was too much as we wanted to try the starters and dessert. The restaurant didn't have a table for us when we came and did not know where to sit us. Usually when you reserve your table will have a reserved sign and you will get a good table and place to sit. They told us to sit in a miserable corner and I requested to move in the main area. What's the point of booking then!

    The food was very tasty.. Almost all staff were wearing a mask. Unfortunately very little atmosphere as the place was almost empty possibly due to COVID. Reasonable value for money

    Thank you for your wonderful review. We hope to see you again soon. Unfortunately due to COVID we have seen a big drop in clientelle . We hope to be back to normal once restrictions are lifted. Thank you again for your support.

    5.5/10

    This was a nice restaurant with decent atmosphere. Was quiet when we arrived around 7.20pm, but soon filled up and was clearly fairly popular. However this can only be down to the food. It is such a shame because the staff were so unwelcoming. We were as pleasant as possible and happy to be there but they just grunted at us, never once smiled and were so sullen. Made us feel like we were just an annoyance but we weren't awkward or anything, we just turned up to have a nice meal. I understand that they might have reasons to not be bouncing off the walls but it really felt like they took it out on us. Huge disappointment because everything else was lovely. Really nice food and a tidy little spot.
