The food was excellent, and interesting. A good range of choice for the carnivores and the vegetarians. The staff were very helpful. There was quiet music in the background. Not at all pretentious or trendy, but clean, and pleasant. We appreciated the BYOB. Overall highly recommended

A very average Indian restaurant with poor ambience, tired service and no liquor license. Fine for a cheap meal out.

There are hundreds of places in London to get Indian food. This is the place to go when you are in Baywater. The biriani was chock full of chicken. The lamb in the house special was tender and flavorful. We ordered everything mild and it all was perfectly spiced
