"I used to live in London and enjoyed this place many years ago, but because I now live in Cambridgeshire, I hadn't been for years. After a long walk from Finchley via Hampstead Heath, we were feeling hungry, so my partner suggested we go there. Having been greeted at the door by an immaculately dressed and friendly mâitre d', I knew immediately we were going to be in for a delightful evening, and so it proved. The food was impeccable and the service certainly the best I've experienced, in any restaurant, for quite some time (and we dine frequently at some well-known places in central London). Tandoori chicken, sizzling vegetables, Saag aloo, and perfect Naan were all supremely delicious. I wasn't in the mood for alcohol, so the salt Lassi was a super and refreshing alternative. My partner ate a delightful looking Subjee Begun pie as her main course, and we shared the vegetables. Great food and lovely restaurant all round. I cannot wait to come back."

Recommended by a friend for my birthday dinner, fantastic food and very friendly staff. Wait time was a little longer than I would have wanted, but it was a Friday night and every dish was served at the same time to a party of 8. Really very delicious.

This was hands down the best Indian meal I have ever had! The staff were fantastic, the food was absolutely delicious, and the dining area was clean and comfortable. I will definitely be reminiscing about this meal for a while and can't wait to come back soon.

We had the paneer jalfrezi good combination with this Indian cheese. Don't know what it usually goes with but Bengal Lancer cooked it with peppers and onions. Pilau rice was good neither to dry nor moist to the point of mushy very nice and light. Peshwari naan was lovely and sweet with a decent amount of almonds and sultanas in it. Service was very quick. Quite quiet in the early evening as with most restaurants about 6pm.

We were the only people in at 10pm on a saturday, which initially worried me slightly. However once the food arrived I forgot all about that! The curries had lots of good, rich flavour and didn't have the slick if oil you often find. Nice crisp, fresh nan. There are quite a few paneer options in the menu, which always pleases me. For main course I had the aubergine and chick pea pie (had been recommended to me by a friend), I thought the idea of a pie seemed an odd idea. It was fantastic! Topped with a paratha, can't wait to have it again! As we were eating the place started steadily filling up, seemingly popular for a later curry.
