Absolutely delicious dinner!…read more We made reservations online about 2 months ago. 5:15 dinner worked well for us since we had a show at 7. We checked in on the lady with the tablet on the right side of the entrance. The left side is for walk ins. Super long line even at 5pm. But they were handing out small glasses of chai and something else. Anyway, the reservation line is short and they sat us right away. We wished we could have sat at the patio - it's covered. We didn't see that until we were already drinking. Well, next time! The ambiance - beautiful spot with lots and lots of tables. Every single one of them was taken. Tons of staff! They take good care of you here. Patrons vary, from dates to family dinners - the whole gamet! Come one, come all! The drinks came out right away. Dishoom IPA and chai. Beer came with a frosted glass. The chai was delicious! The food was amazing! Goan monkfish curry Ruby chicken Saffron cauliflower Garlic naan Basmati rice Everything was superb! I works happily go back tomorrow night!

The hostess was very accommodating and understanding, and didn't turn us away. Star 1. Our server, Georgia was amazing with excellent recommendations. Star 2 We had the garlic nan, prawns, chicken ruby and black Daal. Star 3 For dessert, a small yogurt treat with raspberries and lychee. Star 4 Will, a manager, was personable and hardworking - bussing, wiping and setting up tables. He took some time to chat and informed us that Dishoom is coming to NY and we hope he comes along, too!

This is by far the best Indian restaurant that you will find. I guarantee that you won't just come…read morehere once. I think 99% of the clientele are regulars. Mia the owner greets all of his customers and will remember all of you names. The food is delicious and menu quite extensive. We have often had little extra side dishes bought up to our table for us to try. They are always experimenting with new food and value your opinions. After your gorgeous culinary experience, you will be presented with little glasses of Tia Maria and cream. We are always invited then by Mia to have another drink on the house. This is a large restaurant but most nights it is packed out. On Friday nights he has Elvis along to sing. At the end of the evening most people are up dancing. On Sundays there is a buffet but you can still order off the main menu. I totally recommend this place, you will be given a big warm welcome and then be in for a true curry feast. The prices are reasonable too. They do takeaways and you will always be offered a drink when you come to collect, there is a discount on takeaways. You must try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

So let me contextualise this review a little for everyone. It started with Tim L. who created a…read morethread regarding what kind of restaurant would we open and one thing lead to another or should I say one Thalie A. led to a Josy A. who led to an Ela T. and here we are talking about buffets of all types good and bad. I'll be honest the more involve I got in to this conversation the more I had a craving for a Chinese buffet, so what did I do, I hid until the sun came down and out I went in search for my closet Chinese buffet fix. Yes just like that a simple conversation through yelp led me to a table with a fork in my hands within hours. Josy A. said I should be disappointed with the quality of the food I find which was sound advise to be honest as I was out to satisfy "the eternal hunger" that was a upon me. The second I've entered this place and the first time was not good it was bad but this time was different I had "the eternal hunger" which will last forever until my craving was satisfied for Chinese. I'd almost forgot this place is not Chinese it's a selection of pan Asia dishes ranging from Thai to Indian , which also had a barbecue station for grilled meet and veg as well as a man bread station that cooked the nan bread fresh in front if you. For £15 this is a good buffet purely because it was cheaper than the amount discussed in our thread but also the vast selection of food on offer. I feel my tip was accurate when I said indulge and overload, as I am now suffering from a pan Asia food coma onslaught all because I took Tim L's thread a little too far.
