Trendy place, I came in here a little late for a double-dinner date…read more
Great setting, subdued ambience - one can hear yourself think. Which is great on the whole, although I could also hear the stomach grumblings of my fellow diners (accusatory groanings making me feel wholly responsible).
My partner gave me a prep talk before I came in here - DON'T embarass me in front of my friends, we're already late because of you
Suitably chastised, and plastering on a fake smile and a dollop of charm we went in, and made our way to the table.
Despite such ominous beginnings, this place helped soothe any piqued ego's with it's calming atmosphere and massaged our palates with it's incredible food.
I know it sounds slightly patronising but it really does feel like you're eating authentic Indian food here. The kind that Indians would want to eat.
We went for a mixed grill starter to share and the meat was succulent and cooked well.
For mains we ordered a selection of vegetarian and meat dishes and were beguiled by the simpleness of each dish, freshly prepared and intoxicatingly delicious.
The prices stared at the higher end of the spectrum, but somehow the whole bill still came in at just over £40 for 4 of us, which I believe is very affordable.
This place, it would appear, is full of nice surprises.
Take your date here if you wish to see them again.
