    I was blown away by the vibe of this place! Between the music, ambiance, table setting, and Christmas crackers, this place was amazing. We chose the festive menu. I don’t realize you get all of the food on the menu! I thought you chose one app, entree, and dessert. Plate after plate of delicious food came out and it could have fed six people. The only improvement i would recommend is that you need bus boys to clear the plates and empty glasses. The server kept looking for places to set down the food, however, the table was cluttered with dishes. I literally had to tell them to clear the glasses and dishes.

    One of the best meals I’ve ever had which requires a revisit to be able to try other things on the menu. Superb service and loved the ambiance of the place. Best bread pudding dessert!

    Kachori was recommended to us by a family member, what a great recommendation. We travelled from South West London for my daughter's 20th birthday and it was so worth the journey. The staff were very welcoming and attentive from the get go, we had a great table (a booth). The food was absolutely delicious in all respects and came at exactly the right time. The staff were kind enough to bring my daughter a complimentary birthday cake at the end of the meal and gave us some complimentary drinks for the birthday celebration. What a fabulous experience. I can't recommend highly enough.
