This was an excellent Indian food restaurant. My dish for 1 was delicious and filling. My new friends from Oregon loved their food as well. The menu has a variety of choices and should satisfy your craving for authentic fare. 

It is clean and easy to get to. It is very simple in decor and the food very good. I thought their drought beer choices were limited and this restaurant required buying the bottle of still water. Upcharging meal options seemed very natural here and unfortunately the language barrier prevent a 5 Star experience.

Looks like it's closed.    Very dark and papers waiting on the floor.  Too bad.  Maybe the hours are just wrong but it didn't look like it.

Stopped in here on a weeknight at the recommendation of our hotel concierge-- my husband and I were the only diners in the restaurant for much of the evening and had a wonderful experience. The curries have some serious heat, especially compared to other Indian restaurants we tried in the area. The wait staff were incredibly attentive and kind-- they took the time to talk over the menu with us and recommend several of their favorite dishes. We will definitely be back!

My family and I were visiting London and this was in walking distance. We'd heard about how good the Indian food was in London and were excited to try it. The food was INCREDIBLE, I can't even begin to describe how amazing and fresh everything was and the service was amazing. Our server gave my sisters and I roses once we were done eating. I will definitely return when I'm in London next.

Just a massive disappointment from beginning to end.  On a Sunday lunchtime we were the only customers in the place for the whole time we were there.   At least the draught Kingfisher was decent but the food was not at all to our satisfaction. Tandoori mixed grill was dry and short on taste. Chicken tikka masala came in a sickly sweet gravy - hideous.  Definitely not returning.

I went in for lunch on a cold Friday afternoon hoping to get some warmth  and some good Indian comfort food. However, the food, ambience and service were all super disappointing. The food was really bland and the roti was half uncooked and very doughy. The owner/managers, thinking I don't understand their language, were clearly having a conversation about me which made me really uncomfortable. After I finished my meal, they cleared my table and threw the silverware around really loudly. I think I could sense from their body language that they were not happy to be serving me. The only tasty thing I had in my torturous 1 hour there was the chocolate covered mint that I had at the end of the meal, minutes before leaving. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Apparently they have a rule to order per person minimum 15 pounds and no sharing of food allowed else you will be charged 15 pounds. We didn't eat anything and left the place hungry!

The restaurant does it all for you. It feels like an accidental special occasion with fancy plates and silverware and...

At the end of the meal, they give all the women roses. They sure know how to make us feel special. For that, I will never forget this dining experience. I hear they give out 100 roses or more per week! 

Don't worry men, they give everyone a piece of mint chocolate, too, so you'll get something at least. ;) 
I'm used to eating those licorice or herb tasting seeds to clean the palate after a meal so this was a nice change. 

Oh yeah, the food was pretty tasty, too. Unique curries to try. 

Vegetarian Thali-Basic basmatic rice, plain naan with a three curry dishes to try. Too bad I don't know the names of the curries, but there was a delicious creamy cauliflower one? Not too salty. There was also an okra one, hey, that's new to me, too! 

Mixed Vegetable Biryani-Nice and spicy with nice texture from the cabbage. 

Special Pillaw Rice-Peas & eggs, reminiscent of how Chinese fried rice is except the rice is smaller.

I like it!! A mix of Indian and Bangladesh food.  Everything is a bit different than the typical Indian flavors, but in all the good ways! Decent service. The preset combos are your best choice for trying different items for a reasonable price.

To start off, I was dying to have Indian food during the 3 days in london... finally my friend and I went to this restaurant the night prior to our departure.  We met the owner's son who runs the restaurant and he is super friendly and we had a great conversation. 
The food is so amazing and he told us that it is all about the freshness at his restaurant which we really appreciate when it comes to food. 
I enjoyed it very much and I would so go back to them. I had my regular pick from the menu as every time I go to an Indian restaurant - chicken tikka marsala and chicken curry. I didn't expect the marsala would be sweet but it was great.
