The owner & the whole restaurant was incredible. Simmar altered a whole dish to fit our dietary restrictions (vegan & halal), & the food & ambience were just unbelievable. Also might be the best lamb nahari I have ever had. Extremely adaptable, responsive, kind, & DELICIOUS!

We walked by & saw this restaurant & I neeeeded to eat at it. The owner-who is also the chef- was able to squeeze in our party of 5. He was incredible friendly & welcoming & served us his choice of all vegetarian based curries as well as samosas which were all fantastic. The spice level was also very accurate to what he described. The mango lassi was AMAZING. 10/10 would go again!

ALSO all the cutlery & dishware were so pretty.

Our family had an excellent meal here. The menu changes seasonally. We stuck to the vegitarian options at our visit & thoroughly enjoyed it. It is run by the son of the original owner. He is the head chef & was very friendly & helpful with our menu selection.
