Excellent and authentic biryani, especially when accompanied by karak chai. The quality of food and service are excellent. Although a small place, does not feel noisy. Great service too.

We really enjoyed our experience there and will go back next time we're in London. The Crackling Spinach was absolutely outstanding and one of the best vegetable dishes I've ever had. My obnly regret is that we didn't try more items on the menu, but we were so full we just couldn't eat another bite. The service was excellent and we felt very appreciated.
