The waiter managed to squeeze us in last minute of which we were very thankful. Food was fantastic and the service (of which he was on his own) was exceptional too. Well done and thank you for a lovely experience at your restaurant.
Came here when it first opened and I think it specialised in Southern Indian cuisine. It’s menu is now what I suppose is standard British Indian cuisine but it was bloody lovely. The best curry I’ve had in Watford in a long time.
We visited after spending the day at the harry potter studio tours. The food was absolutely delicious, one of the best curries we've ever had. Jib, Sham and Abby were great, good company and made some great reccomendations. Really good value too. Thanks!
We came after a trip to the Warner Bros studio tour, and were ravenous over 4 hours of walking. Fortunately this place is very nearby, and the food was absolutely delicious. Big thumbs up for the lamb biryani, which is so moist you don't even need a vegetable curry with it (though we did order a tarka dhal, which was lovely). Everything was beautifully spiced without blowing your mouth out. Will definitely come back if we do the Harry Potter tour again. Highly recommend!
One of the best Indian restaurants we have ever been too. The staff were attentive without being overbearing and the food was second to none. I ordered vegan and my husband had chicken, everything was made fresh and so delicious.We will definitely come back here if we are in the area again.
I came with yesterday and was the only people there and despite this the service was truly top tier. I felt comfortable and very attended to. The server wearing glasses was very nice friendly and funny. I would recommend going just to experience his company.
Staff amazing, they went to the top to ensure you was happy with everything, even cooked a cheese omelette for me as spices upset my stomacg
These guys are consistently VERY good I wish it was my local take away. I've been here a few times and always make sure I go if I'm nearby neither for dining in or takeaway. Staff really really friendly and chatty. Prices are very reasonable as well. The only thing I would improve on is the mixed grill I would love to have it presented on a sizzler tastes much better. Other than that keep up the great work.
