Well worth trying are the handful of dishes unique to this popular local restaurant, a wonderful apricot chicken Kashmir among them. Chicken madras, and a super-hot chicken vindaloo are consistently the most-ordered of the ‘All Time Favourites.’

Visited for the first time the Worcester Park restaurant. We booked an early table but the restaurant soon filled up and it was a Wednesday evening so not a peak day. The waiter was really helpful as we weren't sure on the food choiced. We chose a sharing platter starter which was so delicious and cooked beautifully. We then chose a mutton curry and a prawn curry with basmati rice and a roti. Everything was delicious and cooked beautifully. The roti was buttery and flaky and there was just the right amount of food. My other half had a pudding traditional set custard with jaggery which was also very nice, i chose a lychee sangria which was heaven. Really recommend this restaurant the service was great but the food was outstanding and we will definitely make this a regular haunt.
