    The service was ok but the food was pretty average. Two dishes advertised as chicken breast meat was all brown meat. Spice was ok but had much better flavours. Ok but likely not a return visit. Disappointing.

    This is our favourite haunt. Service was not good even tho we were the only ones in the restaurant. Server did not ask was temperature we wanted our curries. Food was not up to par. Papadums were overcooked and stale. Samosas were stale. Curries were just mediocre. Nan was wonderful tho and rice was good So disappointed in this restaurant

    Always amazing food. Never a disappointment. The service can be slow, but that’s minor when the food is so good.

    The food and service was excellent. The internal decoration was looking tired and dated, however make no mistake the food is the best East Indian food prepared and served here is the best in the city.

    We ordered a variety of food. Everything was amazing! My group and I just didn’t love the butter chicken, it was made very well, we just didn’t like the flavour of the butter chicken sauce/gravy. Definitely going back here again!
