Visited for my birthday and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding, and the staff made the evening even more special. Shubham was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu and recommending some of the best dishes. We tried the kebabs, goc naan, and chicken Afghani — everything was absolutely delicious with great flavours and presentation.
The pistachio cake was the perfect cherry on top. I didn’t expect the staff to make my birthday feel so special, but they truly went above and beyond. Great food, great vibes, and wonderful service — will definitely be visiting again!

Absolutely loved our visit! The staff was lovely, the music was great and the restaurant was very well-designed, down to the menus. Had a few dishes as we could thankfully get half-mains, which allowed us to try different items. The garlic coriander naan is the best I've ever had and I say this having eaten naan regularly throughout my life - perfect balance between soft and crispy, and very generous with the coriander and garlic. All the veg used tasted very fresh. The pulao rice was flavourful with a lot of cumin. Also loved the bhangan aloo - wish it was simply an eggplant side dish without the potatoes. The aloo bhujia was great too and had a slightly different flavour to the eggplant dish although they look similar. The lyallpuri paneer reminded me mostly of butter paneer but the cashews added a lovely crunch. The gravy of the afghan chicken was great too. All the dishes that had the chilli signs on the menu weren't as spicy as indicated, likely to cater to the local palette. Except the spicy cocktail (don't recall the name) but that is not a beginner-friendly drink, despite the colourful appearance! The presentation of the drinks were stunning. Lassi was light and refreshing. The Raqs-e-rum was sweet and delicious. Would happily visit this or other branches again!

Beautiful space, I love the interiors. The starters and deserts are amazing. The cocktails and mocktails were really good too. The curries need a bit of improvement with the seasoning profile.
