"One of the better Indian restaurants where you can expect to get some authentic Indian food. The staff is super helpful and the food is also quite good. The prices might be just a bit above the normal average but I would recommend it given the quality it provides. Totally recommended."

"I’ve finally won my fear of indian food thanks to this restaurant! If like me you’re concerned about the spiciness, let me tell you once and for all: it’s a stereotype! The level of spiciness of each dish is indicated on the menu and quite truthful, many are not spicy or mild, and the waiters are very friendly and honest, they didn’t mind answering all my questions regarding food! I ordered a Raja Thali after asking a recommendation between a few things that caught my attention, and I couldn’t be happier with my pick! It’s a pretty large portion, so unless you’re alone I’d suggest ordering this first and share, then something else if you’re still hungry. I ended up taking about half of it home as I was already very full. This specific serve is bigger and a bit more expensive than the rest, but you get to try three different dishes + rice + a small salad. It’s lamb with spinach in a cream sauce, chicken breast with potatoes in a curry sauce (it’s saying it’s hot but it’s very mild so don’t worry, you can ask if you want it more or less spicy), and veggies with soft cheese and cream — each serve has a lot of different spices and all so delicious! There’s also a vegetarian option. My friend ordered Batakh Rogan Josh (a duck breast fillet with peppers and onions, spicy), and was also very satisfied and extra full at the end. We also got some amazing Naan to eat alongside. The waiter was so kind and brought us some crunchy bread with sauces to snack on during the wait (they were respectively: non-spicy, mild-spicy and quite-spicy, but all amazing) that anyway was quite short even though the restaurant was packed. I can recommend their yogi tea too, they make it themselves and it’s warming and comforting, I didn’t ask for extra honey as it’s already in the recipe and it had just the perfect sweetness. At the end we were even offered to pick between a mango liquor or juice on the house. The space is cozy and the air has a welcoming smell of spices, I loved it. Service, food, ambience — everything was top notch! I’ll be definitely back!"
