Delicious food. Masala fries where probably the best I’ve ever eaten. The tacos were nice, but a bit too oily. One negative was the attendee when I arrived within the 15 minutes holding time. I was not aware the entire group had to be there to claim the reservation (especially when one of them is arriving with a newborn baby!) and feel like it could have been communicated more nicely especially once our original table had been given away. Other than that, the service was fine.

Was craving some chaat. I’ve been to their other restaurant - Saffron Kitchen many times and I’ve always loved the chaat platter there. Since I was in the Gants Hill area however and didn’t fancy the drive to Leyton, we decided to come here instead because they do the same platter. I’ve been here several times too over the years, and whilst the food has always been consistently decent, it’s definitely never been anything to remember - just more of a nice convenient place if I’m in the area and can’t think of anywhere else to go. Anyway, I hoped the chaat platter would be just like Saffron Kitchen’s, unfortunately, it wasn’t - all the chaats were far too sweet, and the gol gappe were filled almost entirely with yogurt, which none of us enjoyed. The mains were better - nothing wow as usual, but decent with nice balanced flavours and decent portions. The Indian dishes were definitely better than the Chinese fusion options though. That said, the restaurant itself is very aesthetic, and we were seated quickly with great service throughout. The food presentation is always on point, with a bit of added theatricals for the gram if you’re into that kind of thing.

We traveled 125miles to come here because my son loves this place. The captions says it all. The best hands down , the vibe is so good here too and waiter service great, large mocktail and daiquiri range too. Been coming here for 5 years twice a year for anniversaries and birthdays . The biryani's are awesome here too a whole lamb shank protruding out of it. The kids always wake up early to travel here and sleep the way back home (That says it all really)

Wow! Words cannot describe how the food was, simply amazing 🤩 Made me feel like i am eating on the streets of Mumbai… 🥰 Every dish in the menu is simply amazing The taste, the flavours, the aroma and the service, just loved it. The service was very fast. I would not consider and compare the place to fine dine or any such restaurants but would rather say it’s the best Street Food Joint in London. The taste and flavours beat a famous fine dine around here as well. Best Value for Money as well… Keep it up 👍🏻

This is a hidden gem in Ilford. Have been following reviews for few months, and thought will give it a go for Sunday Lunch 😀 Nice choice for vegetarians and good selection if you are foodie 😊 Kalai the chef, ensured our order was served within 15 minutes. Staff were very polite and recommended few signature dishes from the menu. Lunch crowd was just building up for a Sunny Sunday at 14.00 pm, but the place got pretty full by 3.30 and there was big reservation for 20 people, so we were on time before they arrived 😋 Kitchen was super busy with Deliveroo orders too, so it must be popular one for locals! Please make sure, you are super hungry before you come to this place to do justice to the meal. Definitely coming back 🤗
