The best Indian Restaurant myself & my husband have had…customer service is exceptional…food is exceptional….prices are very reasonable…we have dined in and had takeaway several times and it’s all been AMAZING everytime
We came in very late and they were extremely lovely and served us even when we ordered later. Service was great, staff is polite and food was exquisite. Highly recommended👍
This restaurant is a little gem , the service is brilliant 👏, the restaurant decor is very stylish and the food is amazing, I would highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a little off the beaten track but definitely worth the walk , well done Yaduvanshi👏
Amazing place, food and staff. Went for a birthday meal and everything was amazing. Will definitely be back and would 100% recommend
This is quite a find so close to the overpriced and often indifferent eateries of the Royal Mile. An excellent Indian restaurant in a modern building with panoramic views to Carlton Hill. Excellent food and good prices. Would strongly recommend.
