“ Delicious! My friend and I ordered the "two half curry" deal - I got the mild vegetable korma and the black chick pea curry (labelled as very very spicy. If you can eat Samyang Korean Noodles this is less spicy than that). My friend ordered the Mombai potato curry and the spinach and paneer curry. It was all very tasty and great portion sizes. Would visit again! ”
“ The loveliest owner, the homiest atmosphere and absolutely the craziest most delicious vegetarian Indian food. Highly recommend, even if you’re a diehard carnivore it’s impossible not to fall in love with this place. Do not miss out on the Dhai Bhel Puri - crispy, spicy, sweet and fresh, an experience all on its own. ”
“ Really delicious food served in a casual way rather than more formally, paired with friendly service gives a nice laid back atmosphere to just chill out and enjoy the dishes. The Pani Puri were really great, and I loved the turmeric root chutney, mains were full of flavour as well, but we were too full for dessert, maybe next time! ”
“ Excellent food. The flavours are delicious. The food isn’t too oily. Quirky interior decor, 70s feel - but not kitsch. Quite an unique place. Service is good. This seems a popular place and I can see why. The dishes are generously portioned. The wait for the food was a little long, but not so long as to bring the overall score down. A fairly solid 5 stars. Overall, well worth it - also fairly reasonably priced. Will definitely return. ”
“ Delicious, affordable vegan indian food and fantastic service. Love the laid back atmosphere too. ”
“ Excellent!! Really enjoyed food here with the family. Never had such a large Samosa chaat, not even in India. Superb taste, we had also ordered paneer curry, rice, lassi and chapati, everything was perfect!! Must visit for a vegetarian!! Please make sure that you book it in advance to avoid queues!! Thanks for the tasty banana chips which was served as freebies, really loved it!! ”
“ Fantastic experience this evening with very friendly staff and wonderful food. I was in a party of 7 and food arrived promptly with just the right amount of attention paid to make sure we had what we needed. We had such a nice time and great food - I definitely would go back. ”
