One of the best Indian restaurant (outside India) that I have done in my entire life (and I had quite a few … 👀) The Indian Chai was perfect. I like it with a lot of sugar but still great. The lamb biriyani was great (taste and smell). Personally, I prefer a lot more spicy because I am used to it but for European taste, it is perfect. The hot Gulab Jamun with some ice cream is a superb idea. The mix is just amazing. No mistake, I strongly recommend !

After a long European trip, I enjoyed an excellent Uttapam (I requested they make it plain for me) and I combined it with a chicken starter. The right balance of flavours, unique to the region of the cuisine and the perfect amount of heat that I needed to make me feel at home. Craving dosa? Go here!

I can’t talk to the food, since I never got that far. I’m sure it would have been delicious. I made a reservation, showed up on time, and was promptly seated. That was the last I saw of any service. After waiting for 30 minutes, I got up and left. The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy, and they looked adequately staffed.

Service was attentive and good. Nice dining atmosphere. Suggest to have a hand wash area as entering a wc to wash your hands and seeing a toilet is not appetising before a meal. We were very disappointed with the food. We went with the expectation of the good reviews and to have a nice south indian meal. The fish curry and sambar was sweet!!! We did ask for spicy but it was sweet. Very disappointing. We will not go here again.
