8/10Service 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!

Dear Tom, Thank you very much for your thoughtful and balanced feedback. 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 feedback is a clear reminder that balance is crucial, and we are already working on improving our coordination so this does not happen again.

3/10We booked the table with 30% discount and the restaurant said the offer not valid. We still need to wait for an hour after reservation and the food came out not hot at all. Poorly done and very disappointed
Gurkha Saldanha • Owner
Caro Max, Agradecemos por compartilhar a sua experiência e lamentamos sinceramente que a sua visita não tenha atendido às suas expectativas. Gostaríamos de esclarecer a questão em relação ao desconto de 30%. A nossa promoção é limitada a um número máximo de 20 pessoas durante a semana e 10 pessoas durante os fins de semana. Quando o limite é atingido, o desconto é automaticamente não disponível para novas reservas. A nossa recomendação é sempre verificar o e-mail de confirmação enviado pela plataforma The Fork, onde é possível confirmar claramente se a reserva foi feita com o desconto aplicado ou não. Isso garante total transparência no processo. Lamentamos também pela demora no atendimento e pelo fato de a comida ter chegado fria. Sabemos que isso pode afetar negativamente a experiência gastronómica, e pedimos desculpas pelo transtorno causado. Estamos avaliando a situação para garantir que este tipo de problema não se repita e que o nosso serviço seja mais eficiente no futuro. Atenciosamente, Krishna

10/10We went here twice on our 5 night stay in Lisbon. It's a lovely cozy and friendly little restaurant. Sita was charming and spoke excellent English. She was very helpful in explaining dishes and made sure that, as asked, we didn't have anything too spicy! All dishes were very tasty, good portions and reasonable prices. Advise booking as not that many covers.
