Ordered takeout and was completely satisfied — great flavor, quantity and quality.
The food was excellent. Grill meat platter was very good, and also butter chicken curry with Nan. Mango lassie is also worth tasting. It felt a little expensive; though okay for a memorable occasion.
Good food and ambience! We enjoyed our lunch in this restaurant, not too many people yet still lively with the music. We ordered Momos which came with tomato chutney which is pretty good, for main course ordered vegan vegetable coco curry which was delicious with chilli onion kulcha and some basmati rice. Everything…
We were having dinner here and everything was going well until we saw a rat. It honestly shocked us and completely ruined the meal. We lost our appetite right away and couldn't enjoy the rest of our dinner. I really hope the restaurant takes care of this issue because no one expects to see something like that while eating.
I went to this place to celebrate a special occasion, especially due to many reviews mentioning that the service was spectacular. However, my experience was the opposite; I was unenthusiastically seated, and I wasn't given a menu for the 15 minutes I was there, after which I left. I would not recommend this location to anyone.
Superb food, butter chicken, soups and samosas highly recommended. They told us the meat is halal as well
