As a party of six there for an early dinner on a Saturday evening, we had a good welcome and the service was prompt and friendly throughout. The eating space is comfy enough, and buzzy with people and waiters flitting around.
The menu has all the standards you might expect but, being Bangladeshi-owned, encourages you to head towards the specials. The heat of the dishes is marked from 0 to 5 chillies. Beware, the menu on the website is out of date as of this review.
After some standard poppadums and chutneys (weirdly, priced separately), we skipped the starters and headed straight to the mains, sharing pilau rice and naan. The pilau rice was nothing to write home about but the naan bread was good.
The Chicken Torkhari (3 chillies, around 7 quid) I had was decent, with a nice heat, served in a hot bowl to spoon in, as with all the dishes.
The Paneer Shashlick was reportedly very disappointing: delivered kebab style, with onions, peppers and paneer on skewers, with a "spicy curry sauce" (for which, read "tasteless") on the side, it was far too dry. In particular the paneer was unpleasantly hard and chewy. On this dish alone, the review would be much more damning, but it seems this was just an unfortunate choice amongst a table of reasonable ones. read more
