What to Order
Dal Makhani (Dal Bukhara)
This rich and creamy lentil dish is a standout, praised for its depth of flavor and perfect texture.
"The Dal Makhani was rich and creamy, the Aloo Gobi had great flavour, and the Garlic Naan was fresh and perfectly made."
Saksham Vashisht
Pistachio Lamb Chop Korma
Tender lamb infused with pistachio, offering a fragrant and satisfying dish with a delightful crunch.
"The pistachio lamb was fragrant and tender with a nice occasional crunch from the pistachio."
YY L
Saag Paneer Kofta
A must-try vegetarian option featuring paneer kofta in a flavorful spinach gravy with excellent texture.
"The saag paneer kofta is a must-try. Great texture, a nice bit of crunch, and the gravy was seriously flavourful without being too heavy."
Siddiqui
Garlic Naan
This naan is consistently praised for being fresh, perfectly made, thin, and crispy, ideal for scooping up curries.
"The naans were on point too, fresh, soft, and perfect for scooping."
Siddiqui
Spicy Mango Margarita
A creative and well-crafted cocktail that offers a unique blend of sweet and spicy flavors.
"He suggested a Spicy Mango Martini instead of the drink I originally ordered, and it was definitely worth trying — an excellent recommendation!"
Pratik Sharma
Pistachio Kheer
An authentic and simple rice pudding dessert, perfectly balanced and not overly sweet.
"The pistachio rice pudding was amazing, authentic kheer texture and consistency, simple, and not overly sweet condensed milk. Just really well done."

Inside Scoop
- Portions are generous, making family-style ordering a great option for groups to try more dishes.
- The restaurant can get quite cold, especially in winter and near the entrance, so dress warmly or request a table away from the door.
- Service is consistently described as attentive and welcoming, even for large groups or those with dietary restrictions.
- While many dishes are not too spicy, some reviewers note a "gentle introduction" to Indian cuisine, so manage expectations for heat levels.
- Takeaway orders for some dishes, like biryani, have occasionally been reported to have smaller protein portions than dine-in.
