"Checked this place out with one of my friends after a tiring day exploring the city and getting rained on lots. Super lovely and laidback yet also really attentive staff. Really appreciated the dedicated vegan menu as it makes it much easier to look through wished the main ingredients were listed on the menu, as some dish titles were a little vague and I wasn't sure what to order! Though I asked one of the waiters and he was really helpful and could list off the bat what was in the dishes, so it wasn't too much trouble. I ended up ordering the vegan Wee Buddha curry. The portion sizes were massive and that alone justified the price point in my opinion, it took me like over an hour to finish my dish. Even moreso though, the food tasted wonderful the veggies were super fresh and flavourful, and the rice had that perfect sticky texture that restaurants don't always get right. The food was piping hot when it arrived and I had to let it cool for quite a while, which tends to be a fairly reliable indicator of quality, in my experience at least and it was true on this occasion for sure. We also didn't have to wait very long at all for our food either. Also worth a mention, the vibe and decor of the place is really nice relaxing! And not usually a fan of music in the background, but it was an appropriate volume and whoever was on playlist duty was working overtime because the songs slapped, it was tune after tune. Overall, I'm pretty glad I sorted out where we'd eat in advance of our trip, as this place didn't tend to come up on any suggested Maps searches or in recommendations I was looking at for veggie/vegan food. Which I'm really surprised about given how good it is, and the really decent number of dishes on offer. Underrated I guess? Hope it gets some more hype! <3"

"As a group of 16 we attended this restaurant for a Christmas party, we arrived at 6.30pm and asked if our tables could be split to make the bills easier. The drinks and starters took over 45mins to order and arrive, and our other table were served first and the drinks and starters all arrived where as no one has come to even take our order from us.We then had to wait over 2 hours for the mains to arrive, again there was a 20 min gap between the two tables, when we eventually received our mains the other table has finished eating!All our mains arrived cold, some were sent back to be re-warmed. Then a friend found a curly hair imbedded into the naan bread, we informed the assistant manager who came over and advised us that she could not see a hair, she then ran down to the kitchen only to say that there was nobody in the kitchen with curly hair so it could not be one of her staff, after firstly saying there was no hair in the first place. She then advised us that it must have been off the brushes that they brush the food with however this hair was long and curly and was imbedded within the food. We were so disgusted with the food and service no one ate any of the food, we paid for our drinks and left.We were also advised by the assistant manager that if we were unhappy with the food we should have said from the start if not we were not to come back! Our whole party advised at the start that they were unhappy with the cold food that we had to wait over 2 hours for!Id you are looking for a indian restaurant with good food and excellent service stay away from this one!"

"What a disappointment. This review is for the attention of the owner, Ali sounded nice over the phone couple of times), so he might take it up with his chef. This is a second order that we placed this month and for the second time we got disappointed. The portions were awfully small and definitely not worth the price £9-10 each). Lamb bhuna meat was as tough as leather boots not that we usually gnaw on those), the portion was literally half the container but since the flavours weren 't there and the meat was tough we wouldn 't have cared if it didn 't come with a high price tag. The okra side dish was so bitter that it ended in a bin. Cauliflower bhaji was also inedible, lightly splattered with some non descriptive sauce of hardly any flavour. Portion sizes half the size of the containers. Tikka masala was so sweet that, again, was not eaten. Went hungry tonight. The mix grill portion was inadequate for the price we 've paid, the meat was lukewarm and did not look really grilled but more like covered in a sauce. This was supposed to come with naan but it was missing on this occasion as well. In overall the quality and quantity was way below our expectations. The owner offered to add free items on our next order again) but, taking everything into consideration, we won 't be ordering from this place ever again. A truly disappointing experience. P. S. The photos were taken right after we opened the containers, so you can judge for yourselves the portion sizes."
