It was my absolute favorite, can't believe it's closed now :( & some of these comments are non-sense!! I went there multiple times, and once took few British friends, and they were in tears because of how good it was. For us, the price was ok compared to other places in Antwerp, and the taste was unmatched. The staff was always kind and authentic. I especially liked the attitude of the owner :) It was a very small but cozy place—a true gem. I hope it opens again…

Very pleasant Indian food. This is not a fancy place, but we were delighted with the food. Lekker ! The people were friendly. We did not waited for long to be served. If you are looking for tasty food, then don’t hesitate to visit them. Simple, but good.

Update 2024: I've just had the single most horrendous garlic naan in my life. It was completely undercooked, still raw in the center, and tasted like a sweet pastry. This seems to echo some other reviews, so does not seem to be a one-off. The vegetarian curry was great though, as usual, and quantities are enough for a normal eater. Prices are high, but it's worth it once in a while. Review before 2024: I've been to a lot of Indian restaurants in lots of countries (including in numerous cities in India), and somehow, this unassuming joint in Antwerp is on the top of my list. The cook is very friendly, very accommodating, and very creative. That food is extraordinary, no other word.
