    We are so glad we found this little gem on trip advisor before our visit to Lisbon. The atmosphere was informal, friendly and laid back. Our mistake was to order too much food because there was so much choice ! I decided to take a gamble and went for the chicken banana curry. It was very tasty but not at all spicy if that's your thing. I was glad I tried it and enjoyed it as I normally go for something with a kick. The staff were very helpful and informative and plenty of customers were coming and going throughout the evening. The brilliant reviews are well deserved and this was definitely one of the better curry restaurants I've been to (and I've been to a lot) !

    Service was lovely, prompt and pleasant. Good value. Flavors were delicious, only drawback was that the lamb tikka was a bit tough. Would get chicken version next time. Nice, basic wine selection. Worth a visit!

We're happy to know that you enjoyed the overall experience — from the friendly and prompt service to the flavorful dishes and the value we strive to offer. It’s great to hear that our wine selection complemented your meal nicely. We do, however, appreciate your honest note about the lamb tikka.

Your kind words and constructive input mean a lot to us, and we truly hope to welcome you back again soon. Warm regards, Manager Krishna Hamal

    The food is good, we didn't love the prawn korma, but the spinach paneer was amazing. The entries were also great. I think it's expensive for the ambience and food, but it has some good things.

    The service is lovely. Discreet but happy staff. Food is good, if a bit too salty in some dishes. Peshwari naan was very good.
