Liam BranaghanOctober 4, 2014Ignore the slightly dated décor, this place is the real deal. Food is so good. Be careful with the crab masala though, THE messiest thing I've ever eaten.UpvoteDownvote- Richard PatricioAugust 5, 2013Best curry I have had in London. Distinctly south Indian which is great as this is similar to Durban curries. Mutton roll starters are an 85p treatUpvote1Downvote
