"a group of 6 of us went there on a Monday evening as there were good reviews. it is located in a next street, and the first impression was the datierte decoration. they have an extensive menu and many items are listed as vegan or can be made vegan. we had the opportunity to get in the ground floor near the beginning (which was above warm) or down (which was very cold, as there was no heating) so we chose the ground floor. the restaurant was pretty busy. they serve alcohol. on the menu is located cobra beer 1/2 pint, 1 pint and from the bottle. buy the bottle as there is much cheaper than the design beer. note that on the menu there are poppadums on two places mentioned. £1 for 1. or pay them £3,50 for two if they want something chutney with. they bring them the more expensive if they do not specify. I had punjabi samosas for the starter. they were in order, but I had better elsewhere. one of our groupings the bhel armi, but it did not happen until all others had finished their ancestors, but he said it tasted very beautiful. for the net I had the tofu massaman curry. in the round it consisted of large plates of tofu with some kartoffels in a green sauce. unfortunately my curry lukewarm was when it arrived, but it tasted ok. It was very mild and suitable for my palate. I had to order a part rice separately, and the part rice was bigger than I actually needed. my partner ordered the vegan thiali £17. we told the waiter that we were vegan when we ordered and the vegan thiali is mentioned specifically on the menu. when it arrived, it seemed to have milkrita as well as a non-vegan dessert. we asked the waiter if it was vegan and he said yes, then he reconstructed and took the dessert away to be replaced. he did not seem to be aware that the rita was not vegan. I checked with another employee who said that the rita they brought was not vegan and they would also replace it. another employee said they would replace the rita with a vegan version they did. it seemed just a waiter for most of the time to be, and he seemed to watch his time with headphones in and on his phone! overall eating was ok, the service was not so great. there are many Indian vegetarian restaurants in london and some with beautiful decoration and better eating."

"We had booked K2H before their NYE menu came out and were really looking forward to the experience, having heard good reports about the food. The evening started well with a warm welcome by a lovely young lady with great personality. We were given menus, drinks orders were taken and promptly delivered and then we were forgotten about. More than 30 minutes later the same young lady returned to us embarassed that our food order had not been taken. She then took the order and departed. 20 or so minutes later our starters arrived. We explained that we hadn 't had our poppadoms/chutneys and were told they would be brought over. The starters were delicious however the poppadoms didn 't materialise. When the starters were cleared we again requested our poppadoms and then after approximately 10 minutes we asked a waitress for them. Another 10 minutes passed and we asked yet again. The poppadoms arrived but seconds later our mains arrived leaving no room on the table for our rice or naans. We therefore asked for the poppadoms to be taken away. Two of the meals were very tasty however my chicken tikka dish was not good. The sauce tasted like tomato soup (yes, Heinz! with some spices added and the lamb dish (not the Rogan Josh was similar with an extremely mild korma type sauce. My dish was advertised as 2 chillis and was exceptionally mild and the lamb dish was also extremely bland. The chicken dish which we were told was jalfraizi hot was very tasty andhot, as expected. My husband 's rogan josh was quite spicy (2 chilli 's in contrast to my extremely bland dish. The rice and naan breads were very good. Our third round of drinks also took forever to turn up and we had to ask for them several times. Following our complaints about the poppadoms/drinks after the restaurant had thinned out we suddenly got lots of attention from the staff which felt too little too late. Prior to that we truly felt that we had been forgotten. It did detract from our enjoyment"
