An absolute gem of a restaurant. After meaning to visit for some time, we finally visited this evening for an early dinner, and it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but in a calm and relaxing way - it was the perfect level of service. The food was incredible - you could tell it had been cooked fresh and each dish/side (we had the butter chicken, rice, dahl, bombay potatoes and a naan) carried its own unique flavour and spice combination. Really appreciated the small(er) menu - some restaurants can feel overwhelming with the amount of choice, but here you really felt as though each dish had been perfected and was loved by the chefs for it to feature on the menu. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

First time here, with my daughter. Limited menu but frankly that makes choosing easier! Very friendly staff. Food was fantastic. Very tasty. The Peshwari Naan was fabulous.Parking: Nearby car parks are free after 6pm weekdays

The best Indian meal we've had in UK for a very long time, if ever and by some margin. It's not cheap, but IMHO well worth the extra. Everything is homemade by a clearly talented Chef who presented the food well and had it served on hot plates promptly with a big smile. If I was to nitpick I'd suggest a stronger auto-door closer to keep the entrance door shut, the cold night air out and the warm and friendly atmosphere in. See you soon......:-)

Lovely family-run place. Food was really tasty and the service genuinely friendly. Have the Fig and Coriander Naan in you're stopping by!

Not good value. Ordered starters and a main. Dishes did come presented very well, and the service was friendly but intermittent. I would go again as it is one of the better options in Taunton for Indian food. I didn't feel like I was having takeaway quality food at a restaurant - as I have felt at other Indian Restaurants in Taunton. The dishes were not particularly spicy, so if you like spice - make sure to mention it!

Really friendly staff!!! We arrived in Taunton late in the evening looking for somewhere to eat, despite the closing time they let us in and made us eat some delicious starters, without any rush. We will return to try the other dishes on the Menu.

Spicy Indian cuisine, deliciously colourful, and we were helped by a really nice staff ! It lightened up the day !

Delicious food. Every dish was so flavourful. Mains are served with rice, Bombay aloo and lentil daal, all of which were lovely and an enjoyable touch that you wouldn’t get in other Indian restaurants. Staff were lovely. I’m already looking forward to going back so I can try more of their starters.

Spur of the moment evening, checked google and ended up here. I have walked past this place hundreds of times, and didn’t realise it was a restaurant! We didn’t book, arrived not long after opening. They found us a table -we were lucky as within 30 minutes it was packed. Lovely decor, friendly and efficient staff. Loved the food, authentic and minimalistic menu, cooked perfectly. We will be back (next time we will be sure to book first!)

Fantastic food anc the staff were excellent. Would recommend the platter to start - a real opportunity to sample some brilliant flavours. The prawns were one of the best starters I've had. A word too,for the chutneys, please bottle and sell, the pineapple Chutney - I want more The mains were excellent- we had the lamb and the chicken. Both were cexceptional. Really nice to have the rice, bombay potato and dahl as part of the meal. The dahl and naan were a combination made in heaven. All in a great meal and exceptional value for the quality of the food and the service.
Arrived unbooked on a very busy night. Place was buzzing, wonderful atmosphere. The food and service were wonderful. The young girl who served us was happy and smiling despite the business. I hope she gets the tip! Well done

Had the most wonderful meal at the weekend, in I believe one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to a lot!) typically a Indian menu is a list of 50 items, not here, the menu is stripped now to 5/6 started and three main courses. Less is certainly more, everything was delicious. It felt like we were in there kitchen having a family meal. We were only in Taunton for one night but we hit the jackpot! The dessert too was a marvel - Rose ice cream was amazing. Speaking to the owner you can really see her passion for food. Try it

We enjoyed everything here! Amazing food, lovely staff and perfect atmosphere! 100% recommended!We’ve tried g and g platter and it was a good start for 2 people. Then we had chicken and lamb mains and everything was amazing. It came with 3 sides and we also ordered garlic naan (the best naan we’ve tried so far). We end up so full! Thank you!
