10/10We 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) !

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. We'll be sure to share your comment with our kitchen team so we can look into it and make improvements where needed. We're confident the chicken version will meet your expectations next time.

7.5/10Waited more than an hour for the main course because Uber Eats requests were being prioritized.
Gurkha Saldanha • Owner
Dear Diogo, Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please allow me to extend my sincerest apologies for the long wait you experienced.

We deeply value every guest who chooses to sit at our table, and it’s never our intention to let delivery operations compromise the quality of our in-house service. 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. We genuinely appreciate your patience and honesty, and we hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to provide the seamless and enjoyable experience you deserve. Warm regards, Manager Krishna Hamal
