We entered the shop and we were greeted by the owner and assured us that the food was 100% halal. He then went on to offer us complimentary appetisers. We ordered the lamb korma which was cooked to perfection. The spices were very aromatic. We also ordered garlic nan bread which was very tender and fresh. The owners are very generous and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend this place

We stumbled upon this restaurant and had the most enjoyable experience. The owner Ravi opened the door and greeted us with a big smile. Being Indian, we are quite picky about Indian food and he did not disappoint. Everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken tikka and seekh kabab melted in your mouth. The dal lamb reminded me of the dal gosht that my dad would make every Sunday. The palak paneer was yummy. And the chapati, Keema Nan and garlic nan were to die for. To top it off - the Gajar halwa was perfect - not over the top sweet like a lot of places. Highly recommend this place for delicious Indian food.
