I also had the Chai which was pretty good, I've had more flavorful though, a little weak on the spices. The atmosphere here is a little lacking and I would recommend take away since the food is excellent. The whole time I was there an employees daughter was watching a show on her phone loudly next to me. In also had to ask for rice which I thought should have come with the lamb since I paid extra for the naan. My total was 17£ so a decent value overall.

Yum yum.

It tasked more like pizza dough than nan bread . Service was ok. The waiter was a lil pushy trying to get us to order more than we needed. I was also surprised that the main dish didn't come with rice or bread and we had to order that separately. I never seen that before and it felt a little sketchy. But overall we were happy to find a place e open and willing to serve us that late.

I live a good hour away and it's now firmly our favourite Indian in town. It's got an old fashioned feel to it, rather than a modern take on Indian dining. We particularly like the chicken madras, pilau rice and garlic nan which comes with plenty of grated garlic on top. Highly recommended.

Not something most Indian restaurants give you the vibe of in the states. Walk down stairs to what appears to be an old nightclub/lounge turned Indian restaurant. Very dark, sexy vibes, but again unexpected. Service: 5 stars, we arrived late after viewing a play across the street but were seated quickly with friendly service throughout our dinner. They offered great suggestions and were friendly. No issues there. Food: 4 stars, pretty good authentic Indian food. Overall a good meal of the usuals, chicken tikka masala (nice and creamy white meat chicken), white rice, and naan. Tasty! Pricing is probably why I couldn't give this place 5 stars. I bit steep for what you get. For example the naan bread wasn't cheap and they give you 2 pieces. Normally places give about 4. I think this place is good if your in the area but probably cheaper options if you go a bit further down the block. It was super convenient though because they were open late.

It's smoked aubergine mash with ginger, chili, and cumin. The texture is wonderfully smooth and it tastes very flavorful with all the spices. Has a kick to it. Steamed Basmati rice is nice a fluffy - well done Mint Leaf! The "Mixed Grilled Platter" comes with prawns, chicken, salmon, ground beef, and paneer. All very delicious and some are a bit spicy. You wouldn't expect to have salmon as part of this platter since it is focused on kabobs but you will be pleasantly surprised! :) Naan was very tasty - good consistency Desserts are not bad but also not extremely memorable either. They are nicely plated though.

Went…read moreto one restaurant across town and found out they only had an expensive tasting menu with not many items, so left the place in hunt for something else. So kept checking Yelp and OpenTable and found this restaurant with a Christmas menu that wouldn't bankrupt us. Made an online reservation on OpenTable and took Uber which got us there on time. The food was more than excellent and had multiple parties in the mouth with how much flavor was contained in each and every dish. England takes their national dish of Indian food to the next level. The server asked if we wanted extras of anything else? We were so full we couldn't take a single bite more. Fantastic service, food, and ambiance. Would love to go back and order a la carte next time.

Nothing inappropriate, they were somehow pissed at me that management sat them 3" from my table instead of elsewhere. Today I went in with a group of 10. BIG mistake! The waiter/manager was pissed at us and really rude about taking our order. Made us order all our entrees at once, then our sides. Didn't bother to know who got what and splitting the bill had to be done by us with waiters hovering over. No matter how many times we asked and tried to explain, they just didn't want to be helpful at all. I guess if you're going to go by yourself and not talk or 2 of you are going to go, and one pay while being silent, its OK. Been to other Indian places in London. It's a shame this is the one that has to be near King's College and conveniently located. But I won't be back.

We dipped warm naan bread into a delicious spinach paneer that tended to the sweet side with warm tofu-like cheese chunks for a starter and followed that with a chicken curry and bhaag malaam (or something like that) that were well seasoned and very yummy. Two hot cups of Indian tea on a cool day and we were happy, well-fed campers! There were about 6 tables downstairs, two in the front window. They filled up quickly after that show but there is also extra seating upstairs, where it is much quieter. The waiters were fine, but unenthused about their jobs and rather loud, talking over all the patrons on their cell phones in the back of the restaurant. At one point, I joked that they were ordering out our dinner from another restaurant...and then it arrived! Cooked on site and delicious. I would go back if in the area.

This restaurant was horrible!…read more We sat down in the empty restaurant (should have been sign enough) and ordered two tap waters and popadoms to start. The glass my tap water came in smelt like cigarettes from the waiters not washing their hands, and the popadoms were cooked in rancid oil, so were bitter and stale. We were so unhappy by this point we tried to cancel our order (2 mins after we had ordered) but they said the food was already ready (also very worrying that it took two minutes to cook 2 curries). We unwillingly paid and left with our food in bags, and put it straight in the bin.
