As an Indian customer I genuinely wanted to explore multiple items on the menu. Unfortunately, almost everything apart from the Masala Dosa and Sambar was a major disappointment. Let me start with the positive, because it deserves to be said clearly: The Masala Dosa was excellent. The dosa itself was perfectly cooked The potato filling was well-seasoned and authentic The sambar was the absolute star: fresh, flavourful, and genuinely well made This is honestly one of the few places where I’ve had a (dosa + sambar) that tasted truly authentic. Credit where it’s due. However, everything else fell far below acceptable quality, especially considering the price: Vada Pav: The vada inside was fresh, but the bun was clearly stale; it smelled stale as soon as I opened it. I had to throw the bun away and eat the vada on its own, which was also under-seasoned and bland. Dhebra and Thepla: Both were undercooked. The besan tasted raw inside, lacked flavour, and did not resemble authentic versions of these items at all. Veg Samosa: Extremely oily on the outside. The filling was acceptable, but the outer pastry was poor and did not justify the price. Punjabi Samosa: Freshly fried, but the filling was completely tasteless, just boiled potatoes with minimal seasoning. No depth of flavour at all. Tamarind chutney: This was essentially tamarind water watery, overly sour, and poorly prepared. Authentic tamarind chutney requires simmering tamarind pulp with jaggery and spices until it thickens and balances flavours. This was not that. Even YouTube videos can teach how to make this. Green chutney: Made with curd instead of coconut (which can be acceptable), but unfortunately it smelled stale and did not taste fresh. As an Indian, I can confidently say that we immediately recognise what is fresh vs stale, and what is authentic vs poorly prepared. Many non-Indian customers may not notice these differences, but that does not make them acceptable. My honest suggestion is to please focus on what you clearly do well i.e. South Indian items like dosa and sambar. Those are genuinely good and worth paying for. The other items feel rushed, poorly executed, and not ready to be sold at these prices. I truly hope this feedback is taken constructively. If you focus on your strengths, you could easily avoid negative reviews and build a strong reputation around your excellent dosa and sambar. Thank you for getting that part absolutely right.

Worst place… One of the staff lady … literally banged door at my 5 yr old daughter’s face and my daughter fell on the floor …and my poor girl got scared… Instead of apologising .. she yelled at my daughter saying .. why did you stand at the door, in fact my daughter was going to grab a chair next to the door. Staff lady should have been more careful as there will be kids visiting the shop as well. Very rude, racist and food was awful, not going to visit again. I have reported this to the management and they didnot even bother to say sorry and instead said”it’s ok”. How could you treat a 5 yr old like this????

There are 2 tables behind where one can eat inhouse. We had a simple lunch here. Thali has 2 subzi and 1 daal, one can select form what is there. Then we had 2 theplas for the kids. As we went quite early it was empty and staff was chatty with us. Then we had a chocolate burfi which had an actual layer of chocolate, in India it is just barfi with chocolate color.

A rude staff to welcome, If you order less quantity of sweets you can see the face change on the staff faces. Food almost looks different but all tastes the same, curries especially . I ordered for meal delivery once, I thought to have it later but the dal was starting to stink after 1-2 hours, very bad experience and unexpected.

I have never experienced such a pathetic food ever in the UK. I am not frequently give bad review but this one star is only because there is no zero option. We tried all mix pakoras savouries and any of them has no taste . Too oily , tasteless , dried , stale. A beginner can cook much better than the food we paid n tried . I literally had stomachache after just tasting a single bit of each. I don’t know how they got 4.1 star review ( I have doubt ) . Chutney was literally a water with pinch of spice. Dal kachori stuffing was stinking don’t know what they used. Batata wada has no salt and so dry. Khaman was too dry and tasteless never ever had an experience this taste .

It's a lovely takeaway place with a wide range of vegetarian and vegan options. They have some lovely authentic Indian food, but my advice would be to stay away from the "indo Chinese" choices, as so far I've found them all to be rather basic and lacking. Especially compared to the Indian options which I could not recommended enough. The prices are decent, but with "to good to go" app you cna snatch yourself a superb lunch or dinner at a fraction of the price. If you're looking for authentic Indian food, you found it right here. They also have a wide range of sweets, but as I don't have a sweet tooth I cannot say much about them.

Comfort vegetarian food! This might not be the most glamorous food out there but the simplicity and deliciousness is what makes it very good. I know I am biased being Indian but I feel Indian cuisine is the most balanced and tasty when it comes to vegetarian food and this is Indian vegetarian food done right. Plus the price is cheap for the amount of food you get. Just don't plan on eating at the restaurant as there is not a lot of table space.
