“ Excellent Indian food in a non-pretentious setting. Service is friendly and the staff couldn’t be nicer. The menu js massive so it’s hard to pick but everything we had was excellent with my personal favorite being the momos. Great place! ”
“ Great place with a nice atmosphere and helpful staff. Tasty curry and reasonable prices. ”
“ What a great restaurant! We came here for our son's birthday and had a delicious dinner - the lamb was tender; my husband had a fish dish, which was delectable and the Peshwari nan was nutty, coconutty and fruity. Our meals were served by extremely pleasant, attentive staff. I will definitely be eating here again! ”
“ Great curry house on Church St Stoke Newington. Got there at 11pm last night after the Spurs vs City Cup game and they STILL served my son I with a delicious takeaway curry. Top drawer! ”
“ Visited on the 1st of January 2025 - my friend and I were the first clients of the year. The service was very friendly and attentive, nice ambient and music. We had starters and mains from the chef's special - absolutely divine. The portions were so generous, we had to take half of it home. I have just enjoyed a copious lunch. If you like spicy food, try the Chef's Special fresh tender chicken cooked with special medium hot spices and herbs. A MUST is the garlic naan and the Peshwari sweet naan with fruits and cashew nuts - my favourite. I will most definitely recommend this gem of a restaurant and cannot wait to return! ”
“ Food tastes home made (daal almost as good as my mums!), great ambience and service ”
“ Absolutely delicious, authentic, flavourful food with friendly service. We had butter chicken, chicken Korma, chicken curry the waiter suggested and of course naan (garlic & cheese). Yum! ”
“ Visiting friends and they took me to this restaurant which they always go to, I can now see why. The staff are very friendly and take their time, so you don't feel rushed. The food was amazing, I order a chicken Dansak when I'm back home, so I ordered it here. Well... Have to admit this one was much tastier and hotter than the one I have back home. The sauce was smooth, just watch out for them chillies, you will know if you eat it and nice portions. Overall it's definitely worth a visit ”
