Lovely Indian cuisine. Try their vegetable samosas, chili paneer, cauliflower & potato sebzi, chicken biryani, manchurian chicken. And for desserts, try their pistachio kulfi and masala chai tea.

The railway lamb curry was absolutely delicious! It comes with two pieces of roti, but I substituted it for the rice to soak up the curry. The pistachio kulfi is also a must try.

New menu! Greater choice of curries, recommend butter chicken or lamb although prawn very nice too. Disappointed by paneer on skewer, I really liked the old version in a bowl. Abs try pistachio kulfi!

Fantastic Indian cuisine in the heart of LDN. We went to the buzzing street kitchen on the ground floor. Stars of the show are Dhokla soft and warm, super spicy Hakka chilli paneer and Agni chicken wi

The chicken lollypops are great! Masala chai a must. The Paneer chilli is spicy so be careful if you cannot handle the heat.

The upper floor is a tapas-style cafeteria which would be perfect if you just wanted to sample a few things. To give you a sense of the portions, here is an illustration

This basically a street Indian food which mostly are finger food! But this was the best Indian food I've had in my life. The Raan e baluchi was both tender and savory.

Extremely overrated. I ate at the below (dining) restaurant. I ordered a dozen items, they were of mediocre taste or even below that level. The service isn't good, too. Also they don't do take away!

Looking for a great, modern, take on Indian food - this is it. If you're looking for "classic" Indian food with the massive menu...look elsewhere.

Delicious Indian food - ask for the 35£ menu for a very good value deal. Only negative thing is they don't give your left overs as take away... not good for food waste!

Great street food with a kick. The lamb is amazing. Avoid the manchurian though - basically a glorified sweet and sour chicken.
