  Seen to right away and shown to our table. Very relaxed atmosphere and we were all very happy and comfortable with the staff and ambience. Good portion sizes and beautiful tasting food!!! 😋 I forgot to take photos before we all tucked in as the smell was too enticing

  We had yet to have Indian food on our Ireland trip so I was excited when I saw this was one of the top rated restaurants in Derry on Yelp. We went for an early dinner and the restaurant want better crowded when we got there. We were seated right away. This was probably the best Indian food I've ever had. We did two meal deals (starter and main course for 17 pounds). For starters we got the Chicken Pakora and Vegetable Samosas. The Chicken Pakora was just ok, but the Samosas were very good. For our main courses we got the Karahi Curry with lamb and the Makhan Tikka which came with chicken. Both were incredibly delicious. I think I preferred the Karahi Curry only because the chicken was a little dry and the lamb was much better, but both sauces were very good. For our sides we got rice and cheesey garlic naan. I highly recommend the cheesey garlic naan -- it was delicious. Our food was a little slow to come out, but our service was good. We had two different servers recommend the dishes we ended up getting as our main course and we were very happy with them. I would highly recommend coming here if you're in the area!

  Really nice food. Its different to what we're used to but it was nice. Wife had a mango cocktail which she loved. The place was spotless and the staff very friendly.

  Mediocre at best. Substandard quality of ingredients. Samosa’s (probably from frozen) crust was not good and served with a sweet raita (big sign of a bad Indian restaurant), mixed with a store bought mint sauce. A nicely made coriander and Tamarind chutney is too much to expect, is it !

  The takeaway food was full of salt and awash with oil. Look disgusting and tasted the same. This food has gone down hill big time. I will never eat from here again.
