The service was excellent and focused on getting us fed in the best and fastest manner. The staff were friendly and polite, they kept an eye on our table and made sure our every need was met promptly and with a smile. Entrees were fairly standard but the mains were great - I loved the goat and my partner loved her chicken. The roti was up to scratch and all-in-all it was a very pleasant experience.

I went based on the reviews and it was so much better than I expected. A little worried at first…read moreas the waitress seemed to be arguing with the maitre'd and the chefs also seemed to be arguing, never good in a high end restaurant. Things got great, quickly, however. My starter was phenomenal, barramundi steamed in banana leaves, possibly the best fish dish I ever had. For a main, I had the chicken Mughal (my spelling may not be correct), it was also incredibly good. Tender and flavorful. The lentils that I ordered as a side were nothing special but the fish and chicken represented possibly the best Indian food I ever ate. Making a reservation to return.

This place is as authentic as you can get as evidenced by my partners thumbs up (he has travelled through South India) and also by the stream of Indian people who frequent the place. And it is cheap, the people are super friendly and although there is no ambience or decor to speak of the dosas take you away on a journey to South India. Masala dosa is a favourite with it's richly aromatic filling and the chai tea is truly the real deal unlike those pathetic bubblegum-like tea bags you can buy in the supermarket. Just go! No, no! Just DONT go! I want it all for myself! Actually maybe if they get even more people then I might convince them to get some signage, business cards and menus done through me (I'm a graphic designer); he, he!

The restaurant is beautifully clean and professionally presented. Licensed to serve alcohol. Particular recommendations are the okra masala (a vegetable dish with okra (lady fingers); the mango chicken; tandoori fish and many, many more.

We had the banquet and it was superb. Great care was paid to even the slightest items, the papadams were light and not oily, the rice fluffy & moist, the naans delicious. Entree was tandoori chicken, lamb cutlets and steamed fish. The cutlets were probably the stand out but it was a close call. They were cooked in a fresh yoghurt sauce with spice and melted in the mouth. Main was a selection of 4 curries. Not a morsel was left. I cannot tell you what was best as they were all incredible. Dessert was a selection of Indian ice cream. This is the best Indian I have had and I have had Indian all around the world. So impressed that this quality is available in Newcastle Should mention the staff, they were friendly and very helpful. Would recommend this restaurant unreservedly.
