“Subtle, aromatic and utterly delicious food” based around “family recipes” are on the menu at this unusual, family-run Indian café decked out with vintage Bollywood posters, on the outer fringe of South Kensington. “I just don’t understand how this place isn’t better known”, it’s a “real gem”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"We had several of the small dishes and were unimpressed. The main flavours didn’t stand out and in overall the food was hotter than expected from a North Indian cuisine. Wine by the glass was good. "
