Superb food.

It's not the flashiest restaurant you'll ever go to, but the quality of the food more than compensates for the decor.

I've been eating here most weeks for a few years and it's consistently the some of best Indian-style food I've had in London (and Manchester and Sheffield and Birmingham!).

Everything is cooked from fresh - no stale curry sauces. It's not an identikit UK-style North Indian restaurant, it's food from the Gujarat with a Kenyan influence.

The service is friendly, I tend to eat in the bar section which has a big screen for football/cricket. Always a good non-aggressive atmosphere when the footie is on.

Some recommendations would be

Onion bhaji - always crisp and freshly fried with a nice fennel seed flavour. Not the usual microwaved stodge.

Grilled Lamb chops - tender and tasty, delicious marinade.

Kebab role - lamb mince kebab wrapped in nan bread dough then cooked in the oven - best 'pigs in blanket' ever :)

Channa Masala - excellent chick pea curry.

Methi Chicken - tasty chicken with green leaf curry

Goat curry - tender, rich dark sauce - my personal favourite
