                                                          This was hands down the best meal we’ve had in Columbus so far. We had the dahi pura, sweet potato chaat, paneer pinwheel, and nawabi kafta, and our only regret is that we didn’t try more.

                                                          The curries which we tried are not good at all, every curry tastes salty, we tried butter chicken which tastes like tomato soup, and lamb curry tastes salty, and paneer curry taste good, but the paneer was to salty as well, the restaurant should check the salt levels. Apart from curries the drinks and starters tastes good

                                                          It was good, but we prefer Amul India in Dublin with excellent quality and about half the price.
