We dined here on a Sunday afternoon and we it was a delightful experience. The service ambassadors were all knowledgeable and their recommendations on the sharing plates were helpful. The food is on another level and it’s the best South Asian food I’ve experienced in the UK by a long way. It is not cheap though so be prepared to spend £30-50 per person.
Came on a sunny weekend and managed to get a seat outdoors! The food tasted amazing however, the portions were pretty small in comparison to the prices - we would’ve liked slightly more of everything… Would definitely recommend getting the mango lassi!
Sat outside on the covered side terrace for weekend lunch where tables were nicely protected from the elements. The other/front terrace was half in the shade with uncovered tables for those who prefer to bake in the sun.
Really enjoyed the small plates: lollipop chicken (x4) was wonderfully spiced with a bit of a kick, okra fries nicely crisp in curried batter, onion bhaji (x4) with vibrant herby/spiced green sauce vanished so fast I didn’t get a photo (but high ratio of onion to batter/not stodgy and good/crisp texture). The large plates were enjoyed too: chicken curry had lovely rich flavour (clearly reminiscent of Roti King) and lamb curry was beautifully cooked, Channa Bhatura was nice to try for the first time although the chickpeas weren’t as flavoursome as the curries. Having said that, large plates weren’t very hot on arrival (just above luke warm) and we felt the curry serving size could have been more generous for the price (~£13 each with no accompaniments).
Service was personable/efficient although being recommended 6-7 plates for three people, regardless of whether we chose small or large plates, didn’t make sense to us until we saw the curry serving size. In the end, 3 x small, 3 x large & 3 x roti was enough for three adults. Would definitely visit again to have the lollipop chicken/okra fries and try other dishes but would request all food is served piping hot. Would be helpful to have wet wipes provided given most dishes were eaten with hands.
