We attended a surprise wedding 50th Anniversary of my uncle and aunts today at the London Darbar function hall, opposite the restaurant.
Great facilities, staff very attentive and really made our night. The food was vegetarian North Indian food of the highest quality. We had for canapés gol guppa then for starters there was mixed vegetable pakora, samosa, chilli paneer and aloo papri chaat.
For main there was saag paneer, daal makhani, Chana masala, mixed vegetable served with nan, jeera rice and raita. For sweet there was a trio of kulfi, Gulab Jaman and eggless cake. A really tasty and delightful feast.
After the dinner we danced to some excellent old Hindi 60's songs and were home before 11. All in all a great night had by all.

We went for the early fixed price three course meal and it didn't disappoint. The sirloin steak was cooked perfectly, as was the vegetables.
After filling up with complimentary pitta bread and finishing the three course meal, I could barely move. The attentive service completed the pleasant experience and is a prime example of how a good restaurant should be run.

We went as a group for pre booked dinner party. The staffs and atmosphere was lovely. To begin with starters were up to the mark. Main dishes especially curries didn't meet expectation. Rice and noodles were okay. Desserts were mouth watering and had to ask for more

I went with my friends yesterday (having found the restaurant on Trip Advisor and wanting to try something new) and the meal was so good, I took my husband again tonight.
The food was fantastic and the service was great too. The atomsphere/building is lovely, although it can be a bit crowded. The meal leans towards the pricier side but I honestly believe the price is worth it for the quality of the meal.

Massively disappointed- visited in October and recommended this restaurant to anyone who would listen - this visit the steak was far too seasoned to the point that 2 of the 4 steaks had to be returned - the new waitress was lovely and very helpful, the existing waitress was bordering rude! Not surprised it was nearly empty!
