The staff are attentive but not overbearing and seem genuinely concerned that their customers enjoy the food. It is BYO which I appreciate. The Peshawari Naan is to die for.

A starter of DRY BEEF was okay - lacked punch, could have used a good dose of LIME JUICE maybe...and for that kind of price, a healthier serving? Two Mains: 1/ lamb curry coconut base best of evening's offering, chilly sauce served on the side, as one of us likes it spicy t'other mild - was pungent and fresh - good for dipping the KALLAPAM pancake, a regional coconut flour spongy side dish..... and the dish we were MOST looking forward to ...... 2/ DUCK Masala... as we brought along a special Martinborough Pinot Noir to accompany it.... AND earlier reviews sang it's praises.... we wanted THIS one to be special - okay - the sauce was piquant....and presentation on a leaf in a nice round dish was pretty. -accompanied by sweet white onion slices crispy - and a foil to the chili sweet red sticky MORISH sauce. BIG letdown was the limp duck leg cooked many hours earlier tough tiny serving of protein for a big price = instant loss of 2 stars. staff were students at local UNI stuck in country after lockdown, communication okay - lovely genuinely nice people. Unprofessional / unremarkable service at the price point. Decoration is functional fairly tidy. Value for $ 'average' at best' 36 bucks a head x 2 for smallish amounts of decent, but NOT cheffy quality food. 3.2 on the yelp meter. a 'qualified' thumbs up - okay - rating pics to follow in due course

The menu is diverse and interesting. The branding, name etc. has a cute lil back story/info to read. Good service. We waited a while for our food, only because the kitchen was slammed with a huge order from a big table of tattoo convention attendees. WELL WORTH the wait! Highly recommend!
