"I’m not someone who writes reviews or goes to restaurants for writing review But, I have to write this one. I went there with my friends to have a nice biryani with my friends to my surprise there’s zero hospitality. The egg biryani was like a tawa fried rice, with no taste, no salt served cold, chicken biryani had smelly chicken (which my friend ordered) I can write pages about the entire experience but to cut short Mr Mohan was very rude arrogant and was in a fighting mood, kept talking about how he is fed up with other customers and saying that “I’m here only to complain and to get my money back” no one even should ever use these words for a customer. For me it wasn’t about the money or getting something for free, it was about the experience and evening with my friends, which Mr Mohan spoiled with his attitude and words. He wasn’t apologetic about anything. I paid the entire bill and left the food because its the Worst restaurant I ever visited. Do not visit if you don’t want to be infuriated and ill treated by Mr. Mohan. Editing my review after the response from spicy Hyderabad This is my genuine experience at your restaurant and how I was treated for sharing my experience. There was ZERO hospitality, Mr. Mohan’s behaviour is totally unacceptable, I’m not sure if Mr Mohan is responding to the review and saying unfair. If someone’s shares their negative experience at your restaurant doesn’t mean it’s unfair to you, my entire evening was spoiled because of Mr Mohan’s behaviour, he wasn’t willing to listen and rather blaming me and saying demaning things to me like “Im here to complain, to get something for free etc. sarcastically saying what’s your problem etc etc the list goes on”. I left your place with my friends without finishing the food and paying in full even though Mr. Mohan said he has discounted the price of 1 Briyani after saying all the demeaning stuff, but I insisted and paid the money in full, how do you even expect someone with pride and honour to be treated like this. Do you expect me to keep my mouth shut and not talk about my experience??? Please focus on thinking how customers should be treated and customer services can be improved. Thanks"

"If you like food from the Indian subcontinent, this is absolutely a restaurant you should visit Came on a very quiet sunday night with 3 friends and had a very good meal. We started off by sharing a portion of deliciously crispy kurkuri bhindi spicy okra chips) and two portions of samosa chaat Punjabi samosa with chutneys, yogurt, chickpea curry). We continued to mains sharing a very nice masala dosa rolled up fried bread filled with spicy potato with a side of dips), an English curry house special mixed veggies in tikka masala sauce, Bombay style potatoes chickpea curry and naan bread) and a Thali curry vegetable kofta with a creamy dhal, raita dip, samosas, Thali vegetable kofta with dhal makani raita samosa, pilau rice and a fluffly laccha parantha). Everything was incredibly tasty and well presented, portions were good size abd the amount of bread for each main was enough for all of us to share. It's difficult to say what the best dish was, the dosa was excellent but the Thali curry was very good too. It was my first time trying okra chips so also particularly enjoyed that! The only thing that let me down was dessert I asked for a Rosepetal, walnut and pistachio gulab jamun icecream), but what I got served looked more like cheap strawberry, chocolate and vanilla icecream, can't really tell if it was just bad icecream or they didn't actually served the right flavours. In any case, it was underwhelming and would not recommend it. Service was corteous, a bit relaxed but we were in no rush. The waiter was kind and offered us a glass of Port wine on the house at the end of the evening. We had 660 ml bottled beers to drink and spent about £120 in total £30 per person). I would definitely recommend this place for the quality of the food. The bathroom was also clean and tidy when I visited, which is always a plus. The restaurant entrance is in a small alley and a bit disguised by a columnade which only adds to the feeling this a hidden gem in the heart of Bank!"
