We got the tandoori chicken and it was super nice. The standard sauce for the tandoori was a little too sweet for my taste - but the korma and saag sauces were outstanding.

Two of us popped in for lunch. We were the only ones in the restaurant and were immediately struck…read moreby how chilly it was. First the waiter took his time giving us the menus asking us if we wanted anything to drink. He seemed disinterested and distracted. Then after quite a long wait and no apparent activity in the kitchen, a man appeared and did some pot banging. The waiter was talking to a very large woman at the bar and ignored us until the "chef" called him over. The food was served on ice cold plates without the usual plate warmer, so went very quickly from luke warm to cold. Adequate portions, but not good value for money. During the meal one other customer appeared and waited at the bar for a take-away and the big lady ate a plate of chips. It was a further indication the restaurant is hardly a hit locally. When asked if we had enjoyed our meal, we said the food was well enough, but stone cold and we recommended heating the plates in future. The waiter remonstrated that nobody had ever complained before, we were unjust and simply mistaken. We will not be returning even though it is only Indian restaurant in this area. We gave two stars because it was at least clean. The ambience was lacking as much as adequate heating.

The food was mediocre unfortunately, so I am not sure I should be doing this review at all. As you all know I am a big fan of the cuisine, and have traveled frequently to the Indian sub-continent itself, but given the quality of cuisine I have come to expect for this region, unfortunately, this fell far short! The portions however were ample and lasted us for two whole days after that first dinner.

I liked their concept of having a theme for every room, matching the original use of each room from…read morewhen it was someone's house. Decorations and overall flair was beautiful and high-end. They have plenty of gins, and an interesting menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as cocktails. My lamb dosa was good, portion size was sufficient. Green chutney was delicious, the small side of lentil curry wasn't my bag. My drink, "Schorle" (half juice, half water), was 6 bucks which is a little steep of a price. My main complaint would be the monumentally slow service. Both for ordering and for paying we waited at least 20 mins each time. Eventually we decided to take action ourselves and get up to let someone know we're ready. Since it wasn't busy at all on a week day for lunch, that's not a good look for the restaurant. Service was very friendly though - when we were finally able to get a hold of them.

Must say I agree with the previous reviewer. This place has so much potential, but the quantity…read moreversus the prices, versus the quality of the food, versus the very stressed out attitude of the one very aggressive, irritated lady server, who declined to seat the people safely apart in the garden/terrace, but rather wanted every one huddled together at the entrance, which for one has a lot of foot traffic, so its incredibly alarming in these pandemic times and made for an extremely unfortunate and unpleasant experience! I wanted to leave the moment we were seated but my partner wanted to try it out as he thought the weather was lovely and the outside seating a good idea, rather than the curry house which would have been my preference. So, I swallowed my protests and continued to be disappointed by the food, the attitude of the server, and the lack of service. She really needs to chill or get a different job. She is not suited to the service industry, and a real Karen, if I ever saw one! Wow!!! So, despite the potential of this place, if I see her as the server the next time around, I will run in the opposite direction!

It could be that New Year's Day, where there wasn't a hell of a lot open, might be a busy time. It also might've been the fact that we were hungry and sat where we could watch the servers dart back and forth, just not with our food. When it finally got there, it was fantastic! Nothing "knock you off your feet" wonderful, but as it should be. So, food, four stars. Enough, affordable, and goood! The service, attentive, but was waaaay too long between ordering and eating. Minus a star. But plus one, because the sweet waitress was hot! All in all, 4 stars.

To be clear the staff was very friendly!…read more We love Indian food, specifically curry. However, we were disappointed with the flavor and quality of food. The Chicken Tikka Masala was.... bland. Just not good. The Chicken Curry was a little better, but still not as good as expected. Ordered two sides of garlic Nan, only received one order and it was 'doughy'. Again not pleased with the nan. The restaurant ambiance is good, minus the traditional Indian music was a little loud and annoying. Maybe we sat too close to one of the speakers? Again, we love Indian food and the customer service was good, but the focus is on food and that was disappointing. I do NOT recommend.

We ordered from the menu and did not go for the buffet. Wise choice as we were served to the detail of how we wanted our food spiced, getting small tasting samples to try before the main course to match our "hotness" of spices, a warning about not drinking the very tasteful and fresh mango lassi to quickly as we should leave room for the dinner and a super fresh samosa as an appetizer. Fresh, crisp and as an Indian mother could have made it. The main courses was spiced to perfection and just as we had ordered. Even the rice was the good Indian extra long grain rice cooked perfectly. You should stop by and try - it is a must in Sønderborg and likely the best Indian meal I have had in Denmark.
