Service was great, the food was very tasty, however there was absolutely no spice in any of the 4 different dishes we had, which was disappointing, as we were looking for authentic flavours.
July 2025
Our favourite Indian restaurant in town. The takar dall is deliciously garlicky - our 2.5 year old will eat an entire serving. The butter chicken is creamy - the best we've found in the city (a lot of other places have been heavily tomato or even ketchup-esq). We usually order take out or delivery. But when we've eaten in, it's been a pleasure. Would definitely recommend!
Only negative is that they don't open & won't accept orders until 5pm...

The food is fantastic.

But don’t order for delivery before 6pm. We ordered for a 5:20pm delivery. When I called at 5:50pm asking where our order was, I was told that they opened at 5 and we needed to give them an hour. Not sure why their website gives you the option to have it delivered before 6 if it physically isn’t possible.
