Excellent!!! I was pleasantly surprised and I will be going again, again and again :) A little piece of India in the suburbs :) The welcoming as we walked it was very friendly, the decore was modern but not over the top, we took a while to order as this was our first time here, the young lady who serviced us was very helpful with our choices. The food didn't take long to come out and it stay hot for most of the time as we talked and ate, which never happen as I am a slow eater :) The flavour were in every mouthful until the last bit and if we weren't comfortably full we would have ordered more from the menu. They nicely packed our leftover for us to take home with little fuss. It was an experience I will go back for and I am looking forward to taking my sons!!

Approximate cost: $about $18.00

Ate here on Saturday 28th July and it was great. They have refurbished since we last ate here. New waiting area,new leather chairs, new tablecloths and wallpaper all make it more of a restaurant ambiance. The food was exceptional as always. We ordered a lamb and a chicken Biryani $13 each, a chicken Korma and Zeera rice $19 and Lamb Rogan josh and Zeera Rice $19.50 A tandoori Roti $2.50 and a Garlic naan $3.50 and a potato dish (cant remember which one but it was yummy) We didnt have starters just the complimentary poppadoms and pickle but we didnt have to wait long for our mains. The food was really tasty, hot and well seasoned and what was left over we asked to be packed up to take home and it made 3 lunches! All came to $114 dollars and they rounded it down to $100. Chef came round and asked for our honest opinions of the food and we told him it was brilliant He repeated he wanted the whole truth and any negative feedback but there wasnt anything to fault it was all delicious. We took our own wine and were too stuffed for a dessert.

Approximate cost: $about $20 for a curry and rice

One of my FAVOURITE restaurants ever!!
Fantastic food, excellent service, and decent prices.
We make sure we eat here at least once a month, and every single time we've been for dinner, whether it be dine in or take away, our tastebuds are treated to a mouth watering feast!!
The meat (whether it be chicken, lamb or beef) is always tender without a scrap of fat to be seen, the sauces are rich and flavoursome. The rice is always cooked to perfection, and the naan breads always come fresh and hot.
Overall it is a great eating experiance and a real hidden gem!!
Highly recomended!!
