Food: extremely flavorful and delicious. The spice levels did not disappoint. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu. Cocktails: okay, would be more fun if they were more unique.

The prices feel a little high here (admittedly, I'm not a local, but I've been to London four other…read moretimes before this trip), but the local pub feel is legit in this place, and we thought the Indian was some of the best food we had in this otherwise not-foodie-friendly town. We tried the saag paneer, chicken Tikka masala, a couple of the naans and some steamed rice. Mostly solid, although the naan was a little stiff for my normal taste. Food was brought out fast and that made takeout quite easy. If you are staying at a hotel nearby, this is a great alternative to the food your hotel serves, for sure!

We waited about 20 minutes on a Thursday evening for a table for 4 (2 adults and two kids). I would not say this restaurant is kid friendly. They did their best to accommodate us but from the moment we sat down-it was clear they don't typically serve young children. The kids table settings had two fork, two knives and a glass. I asked them for non-glass and to remove the silverware which they eventually did but it took a while. They also can't really accommodate tree nut or shellfish allergies. Wish I had known this before we came. Our son ended up eating naan, plain rice and raita. Everything else was too risky. The food was pretty good though our service was lacking especially given the price point. We had the vegetable samosa, butter chicken, lamb biryani, chicken biryani, and naan. The server recommended we get raita for the heat of the biryani but didn't mention it's an extra charge-felt sort of dishonest. It was fine but we can't recommend and wouldn't go back.

Vic, the owner, was a particularly gracious host; present without being intrusive and clearly passionate about both the food and the guests. All around, it was a memorable meal. Easily the best food I've had in a long time, and a restaurant I'd go out of my way to recommend.

A restaurant should respect its customers, not insult them for their food choices. Telling people…read morethey "can't force their choice" is absurd--what kind of restaurant refuses to accommodate preferences? If you serve food, customers have every right to order what they want. That's how hospitality works. What's worse is their disrespectful attitude toward Indians, looking down on customers while profiting from Indian cuisine. If you don't respect the people whose culture you represent, you shouldn't be in this business. There are many better restaurants that welcome diners with respect. Avoid this place.

I ordered over the phone as I have a Chicken Pathia fetish - having to have that dish whenever I have a curry from somewhere new, and as it wasn't on the menu I couldn't order it online due to not knowing how much it would cost! The chap on the end of the phone was very pleasant, and went to ask the chef how much my curry love would cost. They have a minimum £10 order so I chose my standard plain rice and plain naan which with 2 complimentary poppadums and complimentary chutney weighed in at just over £11. Not the cheapest I've ever had (and not the most expensive either!) but this is about what I'd expect to pay for a good meal delivered. Delivery took exactly 20 minutes, though I do live remarkably close to this place it turns out. The food came with the curry in a heat-sealed package, which I like, I think it looks very neat and clean and stops the curry spilling everywhere in transit. The rest was in plastic tubs, except naan and poppadums of course, which were still intact! It was piping hot and smelt delicious with not a hint of grease or oil floating around the top. Tender and moist chicken, a good thick sauce and a good chilli kick which didn't detract from the taste made for a great Pathia, possibly one of the better ones I've tasted. It was very coriandery though, which I myself am not fond of, but that didn't put me off as the quality was good. Naan was possibly a little undercooked and so fairly rubbery and stodgy, and I've never seen sesame seeds on a plain naan before, but it was still acceptable, and the poppadums very good, though the condiments (mango chutney and an onion salad) were in plastic pots which got hot during the journey and so the mango smelt, and tasted slightly of, plastic. Rice very good, and the small portion I got was easily a 2-person portion (I must point out I did only eat half!) and so I can only imagine how big a "Large" portion would be! Good solid curry, with a few things that just let it down a tad. And I'm thankful I spotted the cardamom seed before it spotted me!
