This place is in a great location, first of all there is a premier in 30 seconds away, secondly canary wharf is only a 3 minute walk away. I came in hungry for some spicy food and i ordered the chicken nagashari it was a 9/10. I also ordered a mushroom rice and a garlic naan , first of all the garlic naan was very big and you can tell it was made in a proper tandoori oven , the mushroom rice was nice and average. The staff were very friendly and i had a very long chat with one of the waiters , the music reminded me of the good old days . The interior was gave a 19’s vibe and it was pretty cool. Overall this place is 9/10 i would recommend to anyone staying in the hotel nearby and anyone local .

What a waste of time. They have closed down but still took my table booking. I paid for an uber to get there for my booking and found out from the shop next door that they closed down a week ago
