Didn’t find the food that tasty, starter was overdone a bit. Still waiting for them to ask me what I want for dessert.

I remember the menu being larger, but there should be something for everyone here.The restaurant was busy on this Saturday evening, but both the service and quality of food was excellent.

Simply put, the best curry house in Canterbury. Service is good and food is excellent, provides everything I want in a curry house for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended visiting when you can.

Everything about the place is great except for the main reason everyone is there: The food. They charge 3.50 quid for a single store-bought quality naan. The Tarka daal was too salty and the chicken jalfrezi was all spice no flavor. A definite disappointment.

Ate there last night with my brother. Had an excellent meal. Nothing was greasy and there didn’t seem to be any food colouring used at all.Sag gosht was great. Meat was cooked very well still had a little chew but far from being tough. Tadka dhal was divine tasted slightly different from what I am used to maybe some fennel? Special rice was great not at all greasy with a lovely fragrance and taste. Nan was nice and light. My brother said his paratha was spot on again not at all greasy as they can be.Service was good. Attentive but not overly and very polite and happy to engage.All in all do highly recommend and hope to return in the near future.

Nothing to fault here. Great food and friendly service. Always worth reserving a table as it is extremely popular.Parking: Limited availability but there are nearby car parks.

Wow… honestly what can I say about this place. Every time we have been it has been a pleasure from start to finish! Upon entering you are greeted graciously by the host (who I believe may also be one of owners?) and taken to your seat. The menu has a great selection of classic favourites and traditional dishes, I don’t think I’ve had the same dish each time I’ve been there! The poppadoms come out warm and fresh tasting with that mix of crunch and melt in your mouth! The staff are speedy and attentive, sporadically checking how you are and whether you’re ready to order, they space this out enough to ensure that you aren’t being constantly hassled during your meal or aren’t being forgotten about. The food is just cooked perfectly. The meat is never chewy, the blend of flavours and spices is done in such an elegant way that even the harshest of flavours blends well and tastes absolute amazing. Overall, this place is top tier, and cannot be faulted! We will always be coming back here!
