Have been a regular and love the food, but please tell your staff to not ask intrusive questions about religious practices and offer unsolicited opinions about fasting.

Good value filling dishes. Staff is always nice and the daily curries offer a nice variety. Highly recommend. No many places to sit inside though, if you want a place to sit, the upstairs cafe serves the same food but in a nicer ambience.

The biryani is simply outstanding. Each grain of rice is perfectly cooked and fragrant, layered with tender pieces of meat, and infused with a harmonious blend of spices that excite the taste buds. The flavors were well-balanced, and the use of fresh ingredients was evident in every bite. It was clear that they took great pride in their culinary creations.Equally impressive was the chickpea dish with naan bread- a harmonious blend of mouthwatering flavors and textures. The chickpeas were cooked to perfection, creating a comforting and hearty dish that left me craving for more.
