Great find right by Hackney Downs train station. Best Sag paneer I’ve ever had and the Lamb Rosh and rice were delicious. Thanks

Food is insanely good, we were blown away by the flavours. It might be the most flavoursome Indian meal I’ve ever had, I highly recommend the Hyderabadi Talawa Gosht & Dal Makhani. Service was great, we will definitely be back.
