The restaurant was fabulous. A hidden gem. The food was fresh but some dishes were a little fiery for me. There are milder options:) Would highly recommend.

A great Indian cousine restaurant in the heart of the city. Loverly decor, great and friendly service and the food, exceptional. The noise level is a bit high as the chair dragged on the floor do not have cushions and the ambience was a bit cold in temperature. We though enjoyed the overall dining experience and will definitely go back. Worth a try.

First visit to this restaurant. The food standard good. Service received from staff exceptional. The only negative aspect would be the steps going downstairs to the restaurant - quite a few and rather steep. Difficult for elderly customers and those with knee or leg problems.
