    Love love love this place. Not your traditional Indian food, but that’s what makes it so good. Get the Melagu Kolli - a very tasty black pepper chicken dish. Don’t forget the lemon rice.

    There were no tables available so I got my order to go. As I left they provided me with a business card so that I could make a reservation in the future. I'm always a fan of attention to detail.

    Tasty South Indian food - recommend the masala dosa, chettinadu aadu lamb curry, and breads. Very noisy (poor acoustics), good service, well priced.

    Amazing food, the best indian I've tried. Lamb madras is a must have! Great service and not expensive, what else do you need?

    Amazing food - lunch box at £3.95 and I love it - authentic! But I've noticed the service is a bit slow.

    Good food, seemingly a decent price (£8.95 for set lunch), but they added a 12.5% service fee at the end.
