“ My third visit since 2018 and each time the food is still spot on. The Dhaba traditional chicken curry is an absolute winner which is what we had this visit. Garlic naan bread bigger than a plate so perfect size to share. Perfectly sized portion of curry and rice and with everythi g all together it made for the perfect evening meal. Decor is bright and bold, service is swift and friendly. We arrived late after 9pm on a Sunday but they were happy to seat us and make us welcome. Always will pop in here if I'm back in the area. Can you open one up in Bournemouth?? ”
“ Great atmosphere, super accommodating and friendly staff, smaller menu but very varied and all quality. Our standouts were the Punjabi khatta chicken, butter chicken and cheesy naan. Owner came and said hello and had a chat with us which was a very nice touch. ”
“ mango lassi sooooo good!! the tomatoes on the bombay keema was my highlight wow they were just tomatoes but they were soo juicy!! thankyou to the staff you were so accommodating to us- always checking up to see if we were ok :) the egg rice was delicious too nomnom hope you guys have a lovely year! ”
“ Pre cricket curry. I have to say that it was great. Well looked after, food was really good, came out at right times and no errors. That's pretty good for a table of 10. Onion bhaji was excellent, as was Hyderabadi Chicken.... ”
“ The food here is incredible. We were unsure as to how much food to order between two of us as we wanted to try a few of the street bites and a curry and the waitress was very helpful with her recommendations. Ordered the Kolkata chaat, fish masala and okra fries off the street bites menu and Punjabi lamb with a garlic naan. The flavours were out of this world and the naan was perfect, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Will definitely be returning! ”
“ We had a very, very good meal here, the staff is friendly and the food is so good! Sure, they're next to a very busy road, but we still had the most amazing time. The entrance is wheelchair-friendly, though the toilets are not accessible if wheelchair-bound. The staff is very nice, and truly all-Indian. The chef here is very good! ”
“ Showed up with friends around 9:25pm when their stated close time is 10pm, on a Sunday... seated with no issues, staff were friendly and really accommodating, staying late to allow us to enjoy our meal. Poppadoms were perfect, with the chutney tray having great tastes. I ordered Madras for main and it was flawless - not a hot mess of intense spices like some places, but a complex-tasting dish with lots of great flavours with the exact right amount of heat to it! Can’t forget the decor, either, the interior murals, bathroom design and cool faucets didn’t go unnoticed! Will 100% be returning here for more great food. ”
“ Such a great place! Lovely decor and the food is absolutely amazing with lots of twists and lovely touches to the way the food is created. Butter Paneer was so tasty and plain naan bread so so fresh. Would recommend and we will return! My only way to improve would to be to have a children's menu although staff were accommodating in providing chicken nuggets and chips when asked. ”
