Super convenient for Waterloo and the Southbank. Good, tasty food a little different to many other curry restaurants. A little more expensive but you get what you pay for.

Great service and food. Can’t say more. My party of 9 all enjoyed it. This is about 5th time we’re been here and not had a bad dinner. I would recommend it completely.

Good value and good service. The restaurant has undergone many decorative changes (not for the better), but the core values of the orices remaining very competitive and the staff being very attentive, remains

The food was ok. Service wasn't amazing and they don't do contactless payments. Who on earth in this day of age that's running a business doesn't have contactless payment.

Food was good, a few different dishes on the menu. Service wasn't particularly swift but that was fine by us. And very handy for Waterloo!

Fantastic food in a very central location. This is a great restaurant for a quick bite to eat before the train home - or something even more special. Great selection of vegetarian dishes as well!

Lamb balti was so good, and we were struggling for a second dish so the waiter recommended one (can’t remember name) and it was really nice too. Staff really good and a nice layout to the restaurant.

Staff a little abrupt but overall a nice meal. Good selection of meals, although bottled beer a little warm (note to restaurant: never serve warm beer! It’s against the law!!) Would deffo go back as the lamb chop starters were banging!! Turn your fridge up or we won’t come back!!!! NM

The server didn't even bother to look up my reservastion and we almost ended ut sitting next to the toilets. We ordered Coca-colas that were flat because it was served från a bottle not a tap. The food was ok but it might have been because we were hungry, nothing out of the ordinary. The restaurant brags about getting an award in 2011. if it hasn't manage to get it again in seven years I certanily wouldn't brag about it.

Food was good, but felt like we were inconveniencing the staff from the minute we entered. Would still eat here again though just in case we got them on a bad day.

Great food, prompt service. As well as the ‘classics’ they have an interesting selection of houses specials. Pricing as one would expect. Hard to argue with this place

Excellent food and service. Busy restaurant but we were not rushed. Would definitely recommend. In some Indian restaurants we have found the ‘specials’ menu disappointing but here it was the opposite really good well spiced food.

The curries were OK; not bad but just acceptable. The naans were very small and the rice portions, tiny - about half the size of what we normally get elsewhere. The restaurant is also not very atmospheric, having bright white lighting, so it felt more like we were in a work cafeteria. Positives were the proximity to Waterloo station, Cobra on tap and good dips with the poppadoms. I took visitors from overseas there and don't think it gave them a very good impression of Indian restaurants in London. Overall, not recommended.
