Food is really worst. Ordered lamb Briyani and chicken lollipop and I got burnt food. When I called them to complaint but they hang up the call in the middle and refused to take my call after that. Overall experience is really bad and I won’t suggest anyone to get it from here..please find the photos of my food
Ordered takeaway. Definitely South Indian flavours, not the usual UK Indian. Real curry leaves were used, which gives the South Indian dishes it's authentic aroma and flavour. Parotta was proper flaky, price a bit steep though. Kerala beef fry was spicy, with real coconut slices, just like in you'd get in Kerala. Tamil Nadu lamb Biriyani was real tasty, good quantity, may be could have a few more pieces of meat. Kotthu parotta was a bit too wet for my liking, but tasted good nevertheless. Definitely will be trying more dishes from here.
Just had a large order from here, was very impressed. A slightly different taste to the other Indian takeaways in the area, but really nice. The Devil Chicken starter was amazing. Will definitely be ordering from here again.
Came to dine-in for the Onam Sadhya. The food was excellent with all the standard items served. It had the authentic Kerala cuisine taste.
I'm going to leave an especially long review, because Wow, this is a a food destination, and greedy husband says it's the best takeaway he's had in the USA *and* since coming to the UK. Well deserved of the awards won. Our photos don't do it justice (the photos are after we plundered our first meal) First off, it's great value, the pricing is perfect. Great quality ingredients, portions very good, and you can taste the quality and care gone into it. Secondly, the guy delivered to us in Morrison's carpark, and a service with a smile. The taste was sensational. We have eaten Sri Lankan and South Indian regional dishes before, however many on this menu we had not tried and it bested the ones we already had. We also ordered their regular tempered daal, you can judge a chef by his basic daal dish and this did not disappoint. Before tasting the food, we opened up the lids and knew by the smell and natural colour we were in for a treat. The chicken nilgirl was rich and so bright in flavour with green chillis, mint, balanced by cashew and coconut, it was our fave curry, the Gongura Mammsam had deep slow cooked flavour, plenty of heat, the mutton was so tender and cooked with sorrel, something we had never tried before. We also had the Hyderabadi biryani, generous portion and the best biryani we have ever tasted, so often they are disappointing and lazily cooked. This was whole pieces of chicken, whole spices, cooked the traditional way. We also ordered the chicken kothu, again traditionally made, their parrotta is to die for, butter, layered and an almost croissant like flat bread. Lastly holla at my boy, CURD RICE, this was the perfect companion to the rich spicing of each dish, was a beautiful texture and refreshing flavour that acted as a cooling pallette cleanser in-between tastes of other dishes. It's a must have alongside the pokey delicious curries. We are so glad to have found this gem, but so sad we don't live in Edinburgh and can eat here every week. It's ok tho, we still have hefty leftovers. Well-done guys. We love you.
I had the opportunity to try this fantastic restaurant since I was in Edinburgh for the Christmas New year break 2021. I think this is the best finish I could have had. I ordered via just eat app. chicken dum Briyani, curd rice, parotta with black channa curry and couple of chappathis. I was surprised to see how the chicken Briyani was well cooked and it had the flavour which I had been missing after my visit to the UK. The chicken in the briyani was soft and the raita gave good company to it. Parotta was both soft and crispy and went well with the black channa curry which had the Kerala touch to it with coconuts and pepper. You should definitely try the kadala curry for sure. The curd rice was soft and fluffy. Got the opportunity to meet the owner himself since he delivered the order. A very passionate who is burning the midnight oil to make this venture a big success. I think we should support by all possible chance. His motive seems very genuine and it's nothing but customer satisfaction. Kudos dude. Keep up the good work. Waiting for your dine in experience soon. :)
