Very nice personnel, places feel cozy and there wasn't even many people. They also do have a 10% off discount for students. Absolutely delicious meals and a wide variety of them :). Next time I'm in London, this is a must visit place!

We had such an excellent dinner experience here. The food was great, the service was extremely friendly, and the vibe was cute and cozy. The tandoori chicken was especially good. We will definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

When in London, it's almost iconic to fancy a curry. At first, we dismissed this option when searching on Google because it seemed perhaps a bit gimmicky with the wraps and burgers, especially in a highly touristed area. But like classic tourists we're hungry in between regular restaurant lunch and dinner hours. So when the place we decided on was closing we stumbled on this spot on our way to pick up snacks at Waitrose. What a surprising delight. From the welcome that lured us in as we checked the menu outside, the outstanding service, the perfectly spiced masala chai, and the food....oh the food. My fella loves spicy food but rarely finds it spicy enough. He ordered the phaal and loved it. He was warned twice, and the chef had to come take a look at him (I'm used to the spectacle after 27 years with his impenetrable taste buds). I had the dansak, which was mildly spicy and flavorful. Happy accident!

You get a lot of food for a good price. Lots of spices and tasty flavors in the food. Friendly and helpful employees. We ordered the Butter Chicken and Shahi Chicken with rice & bread.

Stumbled on to this place during our afternoon stroll around the area and decided to go back for dinner. We're glad we did. Every dish was delicious. For starters, we ordered papadums which came with a variety of toppings including lemon pickle and chutney, For mains we ordered chicken phall - finally, a curry that meets my level of spice (very very spicey), chicken Hyderabadi (a delicious non-spicey option), and a double cheeseburger and fries for the kiddo. Drink-wise, we had a strawberry shake for the kiddo, I had a King Fisher beer, and the Mrs. was offered a complimentary chai tea. Service was excellent - all the servers were very attentive and polite. As is common in England, smoking is permitted with their outdoor seating which prompted us to move inside as we do not enjoy second hand smoke with our meals. The servers were very accommodating with our request to move and promptly helped us move out appetizers, drinks and plates to the new table. Definitely a must try if you're looking for a great authentic Indian restaurant with kids options.

We had a great time at the restaurant. Not only the food is yummy, the service is fantastic! Price is reasonable too, esp. consider the location of this cute restaurant. Just one of those many highlights during our stay in London. Highly recommended, when you are in this awesome city & in the neighbourhood.

Went here on our first night and we loved it. We had read so much about their burgers that we had to try them. I strongly recommend you trying their Smash burger. Great meat, sauce, hot bun and amazing fries. The staff are lovely, super welcoming and they offer great food at affordable prices. We’ll be back to try their Indian specialties!
