Genuinely really enjoyed the food served here. I had mint and coriander tikka, samosa chaat, and chicken pakora; all were absolutely delicious! however I personally wasn't a massive fan of the chicken tikka wrap, I feel like it was missing something. overall though, a great experience, will definitely be coming back, thank you! :)
