- Sri GuptaSeptember 17, 2013Their Michelin star is well deserved. Standouts include the black cod (delicate and soft as butter), and curried lamb. But the best dish by far was the lobster.Upvote3Downvote
David SmithSeptember 13, 2019Tell your server what you like / don’t like and they’ll bring you something amazing. Even if you don’t do the full tasting menu, you can try a few things. The “chicken roast” is amazing.UpvoteDownvote
Andy ThorntonJuly 24, 2012Fantastic Indian cuisine unlike any other in a calm, relaxed environment. Recommend at least 3 starters and 2 mains, plus sides, for a meze-style experience. Worth every penny without a doubt.Upvote2Downvote
Herry LawfordMay 11, 2018Superb Kerala cooking; have the mini marsala dosa and some Quilon fish curry accompanied by rassum and mango lassi

- Mela MelFebruary 9, 2015I'd have expected more from a Michelin star. The little bowls for papadum sauces were dirty. And the menu was frayed. The food was average, and my stomach got upset soon after. Won't go back.
