Great Indian close to Angel tube 27th February 2009

You would not guess by the interiors but this place does great Indian food. I was particularly amazed by the Peshwari Naan bread which was fantastic and the Tandoori chicken.
I had some chicken pakora for starters which were also very tasty and came with delicious yogurt/mint sauce.
The price were very reasonable. I will definitely go back if I am around Angel. If you fancy some cocktails try Anam bar which is very close.

BEST CURRY IN LONDON 28th August 2008

I'VE EATEN MY WAY THROUGH 60% OF THE CURRY HOUSES ON BRICK LANE AND NONE OF THEM ARE EVEN CLOSE TO THIS LITTLE GEM!!!

STEREOTYPICALLY FOR INDIANS IN ENGLAND IT APPEARS TO BE SET OUT LIKE AN AUNTIES LOUNGE AND MAY NOT SEEM PARTICULARLY ENTICING BUT ONCE YOU'RE IN YOU WON'T TURN BACK!

IT CAN PROBABLY SEAT ABOUT 25-30 TOPS AT ONE TIME AND IS OFTEN BEST TO BOOK LATER ON IN THE WEEK AND AT WEEKENDS. BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS TRY AND FIT YOU IN. ANGEL RESIDENTS IN THE KNOW OFTEN FLOCK HERE IN LARGE PARTIES AND IT CAN GET JOLLYFULLY ROWDY AT TIMES. IN THE WEEK IT TENDS TO BE RELAXED AND MANY DINE ALONE IN COMFORT.

IT IS CLEAN AND THE SERVICE IS POLITE, HUMBLE AND FRIENDLY. THEY OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU WHEN YOU ARRIVE AND LEAVE AND ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY THEY CAN.

MENU IS FANTASTIC, NOT OILY AND GREASY BUT COOKED FRESH AND AUTHENTIC SERVED ON CRISP WHITE PLATES.

POPPADOMS COME WITH A RICH MANGO CHUTNEY, LIME PICKLE, ONION SALAD AND MINT SAUCE WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO ASK.

I'VE NEVER SPENT MORE THAN £15 IN ONE VISIT

NO ATTITUDE, FAB INDIAN - A MUST TO TRY - A SHORT WALK FROM BARS AND LIFE OF ANGEL

LOVE IT!!!!
