    We were rather underwhelmed. Maybe the laminated menus with pictures should have told us something. Poppadoms were From a packet and burnt.

    The food was absolutely amazing! We tried a few different dishes and they were all delicious, flavorful, fragrant, yummy! The decoration is vibrant and colorful, beautiful details and eye catching! I ordered a Masala Chai that was the best I've ever had in my life and I would like to thank the waiters for such professionalism and friendliness. This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Portugal and we'll sure be back soon! <3

    Our party of 4 had a mixed selection of starters and mains which were very good, particularly the lamb karahi. The spice level of the chicken jalfrezi was not as requested though . The service was very , but overly , attentive with multiple staff asking if everything was ok , and sometimes staying to engage in conversation rather than leaving us to eat and enjoy our own company !

    The food here was superb. The servers were friendly and helpful in offering suggestions. We had the butter chicken, jeera rice, nutter garlic naan, paneer pakoras and samosas. Don’t forget to ask for their spicy sauce on the side. It’s delicious and adds a nice kick.

    The restaurant was quite busy and we had decided to visit after reading th wonderful reviews. the service staff needs to be more knowledgeable about the dishes. i was recommended chicken chilli by the staff member . i enquired whether it was chinese indian, she said no. i should have listened to my instincts after reading the description. it was indeed chinese style chilli chicken meant to eaten with rice or by itself. but due to being misguided we ordered nan and roti . also then we had to order rice as there is no way that we were going to eat Bread with chinese style food. we also ordered paneer pakora , the paneer was not seasoned at all. would have nice for atleast to put some salt/cumin /coriander powder before deep frying it. the chutneys : tamarind was good but the green chutney had a funny taste and the third one may have need mango was not edible with Pakoras. Extremely dissapinted as this was my Birthday dinner and I was hoping for mouth watering food. .

    Service was very nice. Options on menu were good. I had the vegetarian plate with 3 sample sizes and rice and naan. It was very good. Many tables inside and out. Can't go wrong eating here. If you don't like spicy, be sure to tell them you want it mild.

    The outdoor cafe was welcoming and we had good service. Perhaps we are accustomed to more authentic Indian cuisine but this was lukewarm, from appetizers to our curries and though we asked for spicy, it was very bland.
