"Visited as the restaurant is situated on route to the centre of Dussledourf.I'll start by saying that the interior is really cute and traditional. The service was friendly too.Decided to have a set meal for 2, which consisted of; mixed starter (I use the words mixed lightly there, for which I'll explain shortly, popadom and pickle, soup, 3 curries, rice & nan and mango and ice cream. All for £30.00pp (approx). I personally think it's a high price, in comparison to previous Indian establishements I've eaten at, however, I love Indian food and we gave it a go.Popadom. Literally 1 snapped in half with 3 tiny pots of sauce. Completely ridiculous. The popadom seemed very dry too.'Mixed starter' - 1 shrunk Lamb kebab (I think), 1 tiny piece of chicken, and quire a few deep fried aubergines. Lots of lettuce though, so that's traditional. Said no Indian person ever.I then asked for onion bhaji as I would have at least expected that with a starter. This came out and to be fair, whilst very salty, it was pretty nice. No somosas, but as it was £4.00 I didn't want to be greedy, as after all, I had mains on the way, right? A short while later, a chicken soup then appears. Again, very salty, but actually quite nice. Albeit, after a few spoons, the salt in the soup was starting the tickle my throat. Next, the mains! 3 similar tasting mains in cheap white bowls. Rice was nice and was served with a yoghurt dip.I asked for peshawari instead of the plain naan, thinking they would just add the extra euro, but instead they brought out a plain naan AND a Peshawari (but without Peshawari) - NOT OKAY, partulary as they charged £3.50 for it.Anyway, during the (long) time waiting in between, I asked for a glass of water. Probably my fault, but they brought a very small and expensive bottle of water and then asked if I'd like a beer. Not a tight person generally, but I've got to admit, I feel slightly miffed at paying £80.00 for 2 people on this food (and a beer each) for the extremely low quality of food and venue/ service. I would not visit again for sure. It actually seems to me like they are cutting costs and ridiculously overcharging.Place was empty, which is no surprise and I suspect that the restuarant has seen better days and is on its way out.If it continues, I would suggest major improvements to the quality of food and maybe reducing a main on the menu and the soup, for a better quality starter and desert as the desert was pathetic. Almost as pathetic as the half of popadom."
