"Went here towards the end of July on a date with my girlfriend. She had never tried Indo/Chinese food before, and I am huge fan so I was excited to bring her somewhere where it seemed to look great online. It did not disappoint, I was a bit apprehensive reading the reviews before I went as there were so many bad, but I am so happy this didn't put me off, if you're looking for more traditional Indian food, this isn't the restaurant for you (although they do have a few options. The only reason this didn't get a full five stars, because although the strawberry mojito was perfect in taste, the mint used for garnish was dying and it didn't look very nice. The garnish should always be fresh. However, I will reinstate the cocktail was delicious! We definitely over ordered, however we were able to take the rest that we didn't finish home so win win! Things that we ordered : Manchow Soup with chicken (this was my girlfriends favourite, its sooo tasty! Salt and Pepper Okra, Kuna Pao Potato (this is my personal favourite!! Kung Pao Chicken, Tai Pai Prawn, Veg Hakka Noodles, Vegetable Rice. I really wanted to ordered Chicken Lollipops as I have had these before and I love them, however I couldn't finish what we had already order let alone ordering more. I really enjoyed the food, even if I did finish a bottle of water because of the spice, spicy but an enjoyable spice. I will 100% be back again, as this has fully lived up to my expectations and I am excited to have more friends try the food. They got busier towards the end with big tables, and lots of telephone orders."

"delicious, rare, thoughtful food. zaibatsu, directly above the street, also sells exceptional food to cheap trips, and is also a byo. they can not enter without prebook, and sometimes not then. I predict that this locality will become a rendezvous for food, given the excellent Kerala offer at pathiri. don't be snob. it is the first set. I had the fish- and green mango-curry, which was full of texture and bite, with none of the appeasing and cheerfulness they can sometimes bear with fish-curry. the two veggies in our party were thrilled by their choice (the, sorry, I forgot). I thought the chicken beryani was delicious, but the person it had was underwhelmed. picky, fastidious person she is. trust me, that was amazing, fresh eating at a very reasonable price: even the pickles were a change and we were crying to identify the aromes. as I said, it would be a surprise if the booking in six months is not necessary to get into the door. as soon as the food reveals this place. regarding the service, I read a celebrity exam. our server was friendly, informal, attentive and funny. probably not good when they are out to impress the boss, but it was good to impress me. The toilets are almost as ghastly as the blue stretch nylon covers on the chairs, but listen, we are not eating the chairs! In short, a total eating meets a do-able price and worthy of their attention. the new spicy restaurant of preference in Greenwich/Blackheath."

"Wife’s birthday lunch totally ruined!! We were a Party of 8 from all parts of the UK and, the only people in the restaurant, you would think they couldn’t mess it up. Wrong!! Food was all ordered together but came out at very irregular intervals. The waiter couldn’t understand a word that we were saying and we had to ask him about 4-5 times where every dish we ordered was, dish by dish. Not what you want when you are dining out and spending good money for a special occasion. The Mixed grill was rubbery at best, the buffalo chicken wings were RED RAW and we had to send them back. Nice!! An independent delivery driver who overheard our disgust actually told us that he had to bring a delivery of chicken back because it so raw that the people who ordered it, refused the delivery and sent it back!! The steaks arrived with none of the accompanying sauces, chips or seasonal vegetables. The chips for the steaks came 20 mins after the steak was served and the steak sauces came 25 mins after the steak was served!! When the steak sauces arrived the peppercorn sauce looked like curdled milk. It was at this point that we stopped eating and demanded to speak to the Manager. The waiter who could actually speak English was very apologetic but “I’m sorry” simply isn’t good enough when you have gone to the trouble of organising a surprise birthday dinner when family members have travelled nationwide to be present. The manager who was not in was phoned and we spoke to him over the phone. He said that they were short staffed and they had no head chef. Not good enough! If that’s the case, don’t open up shop, especially when you have incompetent kitchen staff that are serving raw food. We told the manager that the meal had been ruined and that we wouldn’t be paying for the 3 steaks. The waiter then brought us the bill and we had been charged for duplicate items! We then had to explain these item by item and delete these from the bill ourselves!! In conclusion this place needs a complete overhaul, including a visit from Gordon Ramsay to shake things up. A very embarrassing experience on my part and a ruined birthday celebration for my wife. As we were leaving, the waiter told us that the place is changing to an Indian Restaurant under the same management. If you dare visit I would advise you to check your chicken tikka masala to ensure it’s not RED RAW and check you are not overcharged for items you did not order!! Good Luck!!"
